Athens DA campaigns for reelection while facing lawsuit and loud critics
SUMMARY: On a Saturday morning, District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez and fellow Democrat candidates are canvassing, distributing yard signs despite facing criticism for past cases. Critics highlight issues like a dismissed molestation case due to the DA’s office’s indifference and a mistrial from mishandled evidence. A judge mandated training for DA staff on victims’ rights due to repeated violations. Meanwhile, students express frustration over a plea deal involving a man with 16 felony convictions, who is accused of breaking into their apartments. Despite concerns, Gonzalez claims overall crime rates in her jurisdiction have decreased since she took office in 2021.
With Deborah Gonzalez up for reelection, she’s asking voters look at her record – and her critics warn that’s why she shouldn’t remain DA.
