Cobb County traffic court cases set for Wednesday and Thursday will be postponed so court employees can attend the funerals of the two Cobb County deputies shot to death Sept. 8.
The county said Cobb County State Court judges have agreed to reschedule all hearings during those two days to allow other deputies and court personnel the opportunity to pay respects to their fallen colleagues, Deputy Jonathan Koleski on Wednesday and Deputy Marshall Ervin Jr. on Thursday.
The clerk of state court will reschedule hearings and notifications will be sent out to those affected.
Koleski and Ervin were shot and killed while attempting to serve an arrest warrant at a Cobb County home.
Koleski’s funeral will take place on Wednesday at NorthStar Church in Kennesaw, with visitation taking place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and the service starting at noon. Burial follows at the Georgia National Cemetery at 2:30 p.m.
Ervin’s funeral is scheduled for Thursday at West Ridge Church in Dallas, Ga. Visitation will begin at noon through 2 p.m. followed by a service. Both funerals will be livestreamed on the county’s website.
