Statement on the Burrell Ellis Supreme Court Decision

The county attorney has advised that Mr. Ellis' appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court is not final until the time passes for motions for reconsideration which could be filed by either party.  

The Georgia Supreme Court has ordered that such motions must be filed by Dec. 5, 2016. 

During this interim period, the county attorney is evaluating the effect of the Supreme Court's order in the event that no reconsideration motions are filed or the Supreme Court denies motions filed by either or both parties.
