Georgia attorney general denies request for special prosecutor in high-profile police cases

ATLANTA - Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has denied a request by Fulton County District Attorney Fanni Willis to appoint special prosecutors in two high-profile cases against Atlanta police officers for excessive force.
Those cases involve two Atlanta police officers charged in connection to the death of Rayshard Brooks and six Atlanta police officers arrested for pulling two college students from a car after curfew during this past summer’s protests.
Last month, the newly sworn-in district attorney sent a letter Carr asking for a special prosecutor to allow for a much cleaner prosecution and because the actions of her predecessor, Paul Howard, raise significant doubt that it is ethically appropriate for the Fulton County District Attorney’s office to handle these cases.
