GA: Griffin gets a new chief p.d.

Hey, I have a criminal defense brother-in-law in Peachtree City who's tops at what he does, so I perked up when I saw this headline. Turns out to be a different good guy:

PTC attorney named top public defender

Longtime Peachtree City defense attorney Joe Saia has been named the Chief Public Defender of the Griffin Judicial Circuit...

Saia had been in private practice in Peachtree City since 1977 until he joined the public defender’s office when it was created last year. Tammy Jacobs had been serving as the interim chief public defender in the absence of former chief public defender Arthur English, who resigned in late November.


So ends (for now) the story of Arthur English's very bad year.
