Bankers get new trial after appeals ruling in Georgia case
In Atlanta April 16 the Georgia Court of Appeals reversed Clarke Superior Court Judge Brand allowing J. W. Griffin and R. H. McCrary to withdraw guilty pleas in a case involving deposits in an insolvent Athens Bank. The decision holds pleas may be withdrawn if misled by representations and not freely entered. The panel notes ethical concerns over preagreed sentencing and grants the defendants the option to stand trial on all indictments. Bail and possible venue change are anticipated as the case proceeds at the next term.
