  • The Legal Profession's Failure to Discipline
    THE LEGAL PROFESSION’S FAILURE TO DISCIPLINE UNETHICAL PROSECUTORS Angela J. Davis* I. INTRODUCTION White students at Jena High School in Jena, Louisiana, hung nooses from a tree at the high school, provoking a series of fights between groups of black and white students. Punches were thrown on both sides, and both black and white students were injured. However, the prosecutor, Reed Walters, charged one white student with a misdemeanor while charging six black students with serious felonies in adult court. In Douglasville, Georgia, a seventeen-year-old boy named Genarlow Wilson had consensual oral sex with a fifteen-year-old girl. The prosecutor charged him with aggravated child molestation and other sex offenses. Oral sex with a person under fifteen years old is aggravated child molestation in the state of Georgia, and consent is no defense. Wilson was acquitted of all charges except the child molestation offense, which at the time carried a mandatory sentence of ten years in prison. A judge later found that Wilson’s sentence constituted cruel and unusual punishment and ordered him released. But the prosecutor appealed the judge’s decision, and Wilson remained in prison for over two years until the Georgia Supreme Court ordered his release on October 26, 2007.1 Delma Banks was charged with capital murder in the state of Texas. The prosecutor in his case withheld exculpatory evidence and repeatedly coached the main witness on what his testimony should be. The prosecutor even threatened to prosecute this witness if he did not conform his testimony to the prosecutor’s version of the case.

  • The History of Redistricting in Georgia
    GEORGIA LAW REVIEW(DO NOT DELETE) 11/6/2018 8:33 PM THE HISTORY OF REDISTRICTING IN GEORGIA Charles S. Bullock III* In his memoirs, Chief Justice Earl Warren singled out the redistricting cases as the most significant decisions of his tenure on the Court.1 A review of the changes redistricting introduced in Georgia supports Warren’s assessment. Not only have the obligations to equalize populations across districts and to do so in a racially fair manner transformed the makeup of the state’s collegial bodies, Georgia has provided the setting for multiple cases that have defined the requirements to be met when designing districts. Other than the very first adjustments that occurred in the 1960s, changes in Georgia plans had to secure approval from the federal government pursuant to the Voting Rights Act. Also, the first four decades of the Redistricting Revolution occurred with a Democratic legislature and governor in place. Not surprisingly, the partisans in control of redistricting sought to protect their own and as that became difficult they employed more extreme measures. When in the minority, Republicans had no chance to enact plans on their own. Beginning in the 1980s and peaking a decade later, Republicans joined forces with black Democrats to devise alternatives to the proposals of white Democrats. The biracial, bipartisan coalition never had sufficient numbers to enact its ideas. After striking out in the legislature, African-Americans appealed to the U.S. Attorney General alleging that the plans enacted were less favorable to black interests than alternatives * Charles S. Bullock, III is a University Professor of Public and International Affairs at the University of Georgia where he holds the Richard B.

  • On a Day I Accepted an Invitation from the Cobb
    dick yarbrough.com July 26, 2010 AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE RECENT PRIMARY RESULTS, COURTESY OF JUNIOR E. LEE As promised, I have the latest analysis of the recent primary results, courtesy of Junior E. Lee, general manager of the C. Richard Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company, located over a pool room in Greater Garfield. I almost missed my deadline because I couldn’t get Junior to answer the phone. He was shooting pool with the Bodine brothers, Roy and Leroy, and losing badly. Junior hates to lose, particularly to the Bodine brothers. He wasn’t happy to be interrupted but gave me the information and guaranteed its accuracy within plus-or-minus whatever would get me off the telephone. How did John Oxendine blow a big lead in the Republican gubernatorial primary and not even make the runoff? Junior’s analysis is that nobody in the Republican Party likes Oxendine. One insider told him if the Ox had made the runoff, the number of Republicans standing in line to endorse his opponent would have be so long you’d have thought they were buying one of those IPhone contraptions. Eric Johnson didn’t do so well, either. Junior says that is because he is from Savannah. The only politician from Savannah who ever had any statewide political impact was Gen. James Oglethorpe and when he got here there was nothing around but Savannah, so that doesn’t count. In the Democratic primary, former Gov. Roy Barnes got the nomination without a runoff. Junior says that was due to two factors.

  • Memorandum of Law in Support of Changes to Stone Mountain Park
    Memorandum of Law in Support of Changes to Stone Mountain Park To: Whom It May Concern From: Stone Mountain Action Coalition Date: October 15, 2020 During public discourse regarding the legal entanglement between the Confederacy and Stone Mountain Park (the “Park”), some have argued that the Stone Mountain Memorial Association (“SMMA” or the “Board”) is powerless to make changes to the Park, claiming that the Board’s “hands are tied by the law.” To the contrary, the Board has discretion to make changes under current Georgia state law. Indeed, all boards created by law have discretion. Absent discretion, such entities would be powerless to take actions pursuant to their statutory mandates. Here, that discretion is front and center, listed in the code among the three primary purposes of the SMMA: (1) To preserve the natural areas situated within the Stone Mountain Park area; (2) To provide access to Stone Mountain for Georgia's citizens; and (3) To maintain an appropriate and suitable memorial for the Confederacy. See O.C.G.A. § 12-3-192.1 (emphasis added) (the complete “Stone Mountain Memorial Act,” O.C.G.A. § 12-3-190, et seq. is attached as Exhibit “A”). Thus, the General Assembly explicitly granted the Board discretion as to what is an “appropriate and suitable” memorial to the Confederacy. Page 1 of 11 I. THE STONE MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION IS PERMITTED UNDER GEORGIA STATE LAW TO MAKE CHANGES TO STONE MOUNTAIN PARK. A. The history of Stone Mountain Park and the SMMA underscores the urgent need to make changes at the Park.
