Right of Judge to Suspend a Sentence Questioned
Atlanta May 8 Special The state prison commission asked Attorney General Hart for a ruling on whether a judge in Georgia can suspend a sentence. Two white women were convicted of a misdemeanor in Habersham County and told to pay a fine and serve twelve months on the chain gang, with the latter suspended if they left the state within twenty days. They left then returned and were placed on the gang under the suspended sentence. The commission urged commuting the sentence to the state farm under a new law. Critics argue the judge’s contingent release order was invalid, while the attorney general’s opinion is expected to clarify if courts may suspend sentences under Georgia law.
