DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston says “fundamentally different prosecution philosophies” led to her decision after dozens are charged with domestic terrorism
ATLANTA (AP) — A metro Atlanta prosecutor announced Friday that her office is withdrawing from criminal cases tied to protests over plans to build a police and firefighter training center, citing disagreements with the state’s Republican attorney general, including the decision to charge a legal observer with domestic terrorism.
DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston’s decision means Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr will have sole oversight regarding more than 40 additional cases connected to the “Stop Cop City” movement. Previously, the two offices held joint jurisdiction over those cases, Boston, a Democrat, said in a news release.
“It is clear to both myself and to the attorney general that we have fundamentally different prosecution philosophies,” today!
