Judge’s neighbor says ‘heart is broke’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
College Park resident Enriqueta R. Lineres, who lives next door to Judge Rowland Barnes, was walking back from the store about 11:30 a.m. when she saw a hearse and a police cruiser parked in front of Barnes’ house.
She asked a reporter standing in front of the house what was happening. When she heard the news, she immediately started crying.
“He is a good neighbor, Mr. Roland,” said Lineres, who moved to the neighborhood in 1998.
She said Barnes looked after her house when she had to return to Mexico, and he and his wife, Claudia, are always checking in on her.
“Oh. Jesus. Oh, Lord. Why?” Lineres said. “My heart is broke. My neighbor [Rowland Barnes] protected me.”
