Every now and then I delete a tweet, it is usually a result of research or new information. Earlier today I re-tweeted Dr. Alexander Hamilton and his assessment of Joyette Holmes, Cobb County DA - these are my findings #ADOS IN Georgia.

Joyette Holmes was not the prosecutor of of the Raquel Nelson case. Cobb County Solicitor General Barry Morgan was the prosecutor. Nelson's story is a tragedy - and the law needs to be re-written. abcnews.go.com/US/mother-boy-…
The judge ensured the process worked fairly - despite the deficiency in the law. State Court Judge Katherine Tanksley instead sentenced Nelson to probation, but offered her a deal. Nelson could undergo a new trial, and if she was acquitted, her record would be cleared.
Nelson accepted the offer and her second trial upheld the original court decision. usa.streetsblog.org/2012/09/11/geo…
The case was closed with Nelson paying a fine - but her life #ADOSLife is where advocacy is required to cure the problem - this article lays out the problem. usa.streetsblog.org/2013/06/14/raq…
So I thank Dr. Alexander Hamilton because he caused me to dig deeper. and in the case of #AhmaudArbery The law that allows citizens arrest needs #ADOSPolitics it is a relic of slavery and lynch mobs.
Time will tell if Joyette Holmes is for the people. Now is the time to see about her politics #ADOS in Georgia. Appointments are tricky. We had a great panel of elected judges then CA Gov appointed a judge - we know nothing about him, but we sure will find out!
