The January indictment of former Cobb County EMC Chief Dwight Brown for stealing money from the coop and conspiring to conceal his actions from EMC members has been thrown out by Cobb County Superior Court Judge Robert Flournoy. Judge Flournoy found on Tuesday that the indictment was not “open to the public” because Brown’s counsel was effectively excluded from the courtroom when the grand jury returned the indictment when he showed up late. The Atlanta Journal Constitution covered this story and EMC’s reaction to the judge’s ruling.
