 SURRY, Va. (AP) - The centerpiece of this sleepy southeastern Virginia town challenges the definition of "stoplight" — the lone signal blinks red on two sides, yellow on the others. "It's a caution light," Surry County court clerk Gail Clayton explains. These days, it's a spot featuring plenty of action.
Not far away, next to a gas station on the corner, the unmarked office of Surry County Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald G. Poindexter stands in need of a coat of paint.
It also needs a bigger parking lot to accommodate media from all over following the highest-profile case of Poindexter's 12-year career.
