Judges keep hearings to minimal levels
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Judges at the Fulton County Courthouse are keeping hearings to a minimum today as staff and security adjust to the new realities after Friday’s shooting spree.
Each judge is trying to decide what is “absolutely necessary,” Judge Doris Downs said.
At noon, officials will open a courtroom staffed by grief counselors.
As the courthouse reopened at 8:30 a.m. — almost 72 hours since the shootings — at least 80 people waited in line to get past a security checkpoint set up inside the building.
