Courthouse's acoustics overlooked J.R. Welsh The Sun Herald Hancock County's newly renovated, historic courthouse is a treat for the eyes, but officials are saying it's not so good for the ears. … Apparently, however, no one considered acoustics. County supervisors say sound becomes magnified and bounces all over the place in thecavernous courtroom. Words can be heard but not understood. To a jury, officials fear, even the footsteps of a pacing lawyer delivering a closing argument might sound something like gunshots. "What we're left with now is a courtroom that is gorgeous, but not functional," Hancock CountyAttorney Ronnie Artigues said. "It's no good if you can't use it."
… "This is technology at work," board President Rocky Pullman said. "Trying to marry the old and thenew ... it's a shame. We've got to fix it."
