Cobb County’s new district attorney, Joyette Holmes, started work this week, beginning Monday with an assembly of judges, legislators, prosecutors and well-wishers for her investiture.

“The support in the room was humbling,” Holmes told the Daily Report Monday evening. “I was just overwhelmed with the huge showing of law enforcement, the judiciary, the Georgia Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, the Cobb courts, district attorneys and solicitors general from around the metro area. These are groups I know I’ll be working with closely. I was just grateful.”
