The Georgia Supreme Court reversed a ruling that threw out indictments against six former Fulton County jail employees charged in the death of an inmate. In 2018, Antonio May was booked into the Fulton County Jail on a misdemeanor charge. An investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation found he was dealing with mental health and substance abuse problems when he was shocked with a stun gun and pepper sprayed.
