Judge Speer Rules Municipal Chain Gangs Excessive
United States District Judge Emory Speer in Macon Georgia rules that municipal courts cannot sentence violators to local chain gangs without proper criminal pleading and a jury. He orders the Bibb County chaingang superintendent to release a prisoner and notes the recorder’s court merely issued a sentence with no verdict of guilt or innocence. The opinion questions the constitutionality of double punishment for municipal ordinance violations and the use of chain gangs for such offenses.
