I had one case against Debra, ten or fifteen years ago, when she was the appellate lawyer in the Cobb DA’s office. I was seeking post-conviction relief for a man I firmly believe to have been wrongfully convicted of a grave offense. The case was an odyssey. I pursued it for more than seven years before seven different courts and against nearly that many prosecutors. Of all the judges and all the prosecutors I faced, she was only one who really listened when I argued that a terrible injustice had been done.
She was a good lawyer, a good judge, and a good person.
