Judge Tammy Long Hayward convened the Clayton County State Court jail calendar in Courtroom 304 on Jan. 6, 2026, and moved through a short docket that produced pleas, sentencing, and a bench-warrant notice.

Diego Aguilar appeared on case 2025CR03179 and, through counsel Jay Jordan, entered a not guilty plea and requested a jury trial. Judge Hayward instructed counsel to verify Aguilar’s contact information with the clerk before leaving and said the March 12 arraignment notice could be removed if counsel filed a waiver. "You'll get trial notice," the judge told the defense; Aguilar was freed pending trial subject to administrative checks on his paperwork.

In a separate matter, Longba Samba (case 2025CR11043) — represented by attorney Lynch — told the court he would enter pleas of no contest to counts of criminal trespass and obstruction of an officer, with one count to be dismissed under a negotiated agreement. The court accepted the plea and sentenced Samba to 12 months, with 45 days credited as time served and the balance suspended, and ordered that he not return to the Old Dixie Road address identified in the factual statement.

The court also accepted negotiated pleas in State of Georgia v. Christopher Jermell Jolley (2025CR10601). The state summarized its factual basis from an Oct. 30, 2025 domestic-disturbance call at 5060 Frontage Road, stating the alleged victim, Kemoria Edmonds, told officers Jolley had taken and broken her phone and physically assaulted her, pulling her hair and causing a bald spot. The prosecutor recommended concurrent 12‑month sentences with credit for 51 days already served and a no‑contact condition. The victim, Kemoria Edmonds, was sworn and told the court, "I still would like to have contact with the tenant." Judge Hayward nonetheless imposed the negotiated concurrent sentences and ordered no violent or harassing contact with Edmonds, noting that count 1 would merge with the family-violence count. "Beating somebody up does not improve a relationship," the judge said.

Separately, the court noted that Zoe Tyler Ashland Moses had been moved from the trial calendar and, having failed to appear for the trial-calendar call, faces a bench warrant and bond forfeiture if she does not appear to resolve the matter.

The court used a breakout-room procedure so attorneys could confer with a person on the record identified as Miss Bing; counsel told the court they were able to reach negotiated outcomes for several defendants during those conferences. The judge closed the short calendar after processing the matters.

Court instructions and outcomes should be considered court-administrative actions: pleas entered, sentencing imposed, and bench-warrant/bond-forfeiture procedures triggered where defendants failed to appear. No new policy or statute was cited on the record in these proceedings.
