Judge Speer’s Opinion on Harris Case Sparks Debate
Judge Emory Speer defends publishing an anticipated opinion in the Harris bankruptcy dispute in Macon. He argues the newspaper note informed creditors of property value and rights, rejects bias claims, and recounts attempts to compromise the suit while preserving all parties’ equities. Attorneys McNeil and Hatcher refused to proceed, and the judge dismissed the case for want of prosecution.
