It’s been a busy week for criminal defense attorney H. Maddox Kilgore of Kilgore & Rodriguez in Marietta. On Wednesday, the Georgia Supreme Court overturned the convictions of his client Justin Ross Harris for murder and other crimes related to the death of toddler Cooper Harris in a hot car. On Tuesday, Kilgore was at the high court requesting another highly unusual reversal.

Kilgore asked the court to set aside its own ruling—which favored his client—reversing the verdicts against Damian McElrath. McElrath was accused of killing his mother in 2012, when he was 18, by stabbing her 50 times, according to court records.
