At least one courtroom not yet open
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
At 9:30 a.m. the door to Judge Alford J. Dempsey’s courtroom remained locked. The courtroom normally would have been opened at 9 a.m. Lawyers and their clients wondered why they couldn’t enter.
“I think it is going to be quiet today,” said Roswell attorney Birdia Greer, standing in the hallway with her arms crossed.
While waiting for the courtroom to open, she reflected on Friday’s events and the actions of sheriff’s deputies. “I think we need to just have more deputies in the holding tanks. It’s crazy to have one person in a holding tanks, especially a woman.”
Attorney Wade Everett of Cartersville said the scene at the courthouse appeared normal until he arrived at the locked courtroom. “I wondered if they would have a day of mourning.”
