DeKalb DA names new prosecutors

DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James has named two prosecutors to help replace those who recently left for Cobb County.

Kellie Stevens Hill will serve as the chief trial assistant prosecutor and oversee the office’s public integrity unit. She served in a similar role in the Fulton County District Attorney’s office and was integral in the state’s case against Brian Nichols.

Christopher Timmons will serve as an assistant district attorney in public integrity unit after holding a similar post in Cobb.
