  • Wow! It looks like the judge's and prosecutor's homeowners policies better be paid in full. The use of a subpeona, even if improperly issued under the court rules, is hardly a crime. I believe the GBI should intervene immediately abd find out from these guys what they think is going on. Transparency on sun light are treat disinfectants. These two judges must be up to something to go to this extent and not use the attorney disciplinary system. The local prosecutor should have run like a scalded dog to the GBI.
