In arguments before the Georgia Supreme Court, an attorney representing the American Civil Liberties Union sparred with a lawyer for a former misdemeanor public defender, who sued the nonprofit over online posts accusing him of charging for legal services that he should have been providing for free.
Both a Glynn County trial judge and the Georgia Court of Appeals declined to dismiss the case on anti-SLAPP grounds.
