GEORGIA SUPREME COURT

Ga. high court refuses to toss indictment against ex-officer

Georgia's highest court Tuesday affirmed a lower court decision that declined to quash the indictment of a former Atlanta police officer who's charged with murder in the shooting death of a 22-year-old man who was driving out of an apartment complex. Former officer James Burns argued the grand jury proceedings that led to his indictment in 2018 should have been held under rules in effect when the shooting happened. A law curtailing officers' special grand jury privileges went into effect less than two weeks after the shooting and the Georgia Supreme Court said it was proper to use the amended rules.

Georgia Supreme Court gives defendant in teacher slaying route to state funds

The Georgia Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that private attorneys for Ryan Duke may seek to contract with a state agency to receive funding for expert witnesses. However, the court did not rule on whether Duke has a constitutional right to receive taxpayer assistance. Dukeโ€™s attorneys say he has no money to pay for expert witnesses in DNA, false confessions and psychology. The state Supreme Courtโ€™s decision Monday found that state law allows private attorneys to contract with the Georgia Public Defender Council to receive taxpayer-funded assistance. It sent the case back for Dukeโ€™s attorneys to seek a contract but stopped short of ordering the council to enter one.
