Ken Hodges lawsuit dismissed

AG candidate Ken Hodges has been granted immunity in the ongoing litigation stemming from the aftermath of “the” hospital case we probably all know about by now (Googling is left as an exercise for the reader). The opinion issued by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals is worth a look – to be clear, the prosecutor who eventually filed the charges after Hodges recused himself from the case is still facing a lawsuit.

As an aside, it should be noted that this isn’t exactly an issue the candidate has been running away from – he was in attendance at a Young Democrats of Atlanta meeting last Wednesday and was happy to answer a question about his handling of the case in detail.

    IRE having a ‘hissy fit’? Tragic. Really. Umm do we have any pictures anyone’s willing to post? I know… it’s a slow day in the sticks.

    Again, I for one am glad of the latter part of that 2nd sentence, Melissa M. The court ruling was pretty predictable, and it remains to be seen what the general political effect it might have. I imagine that’s where your hard work comes in too. Hopefully. JMP

    I think that certain people will try to not let it drop, but an argument that has been dismissed doesn’t hold much weight.

    Hodges acted properly and is willing to discuss the facts with anyone who wants to talk with him.

    Well the ruling’s unsurprising, but it’s good to hear from reports of Hodges starting to address these issues of the Phoebe-Putney mess. I suspect this will not end it all either. JMP

    I agree. Hodges spoke at a Gwinnett breakfast a few months ago and took about 20 minutes on ‘the’ case.
