The state Court of Appeals has given a former south Georgia probate judge another opportunity to challenge more than $300,000 in restitution she was ordered to pay after pleading guilty to stealing more than $430,000 from the court’s coffers.

Former Atkinson County Probate Judge Marjorie O’Brien was arrested and indicted in 2017 on charges of racketeering and 81 counts of theft by taking related to her theft of the money between 2010 and 2016.
