History Unfolds in Georgia

August 14, 2023, 9:00 pm Atlanta , Georgia Courthouse…….

Indictments walked from the Grand Jury hearing to the Clerk of Court office. Here, on live television, the Clerk of Court came out of her office, received the indictments, reviewed the indictments, signed for the indictments, then, under escort of the sheriffs deputies, and others, took the indictments to the courtroom, within the Lewis R. Slaton Courthouse, where the Judge Robert C.I. McBurney of Fulton County Superior Court was awaiting.

Judge McBurney accepted the indictments from the Clerk, questioned her if she had these in her possession from the time they were presented to her from the Grand Jury, in which she replied “Yes”. He then reviewed the indictments (total of 10), not making any comments, signed the appropriate order, then handed them back to the Clerk for her to return to her office and record all of them.

As this progresses, I’ll be updating. It was reported on the news, by a reporter that was made aware that it could take up to three hours for these indictments to be recorded where they may be released for public reporting.

NOTE: The judge had been alerted earlier that the Grand Jury was voting this evening on the case for possible indictments to be handed down. Therefore, he remained on the Bench awaiting the outcome of this vote, and held the courthouse open.
