Nine months after Statesboro litigator Francys Johnson spent hours held by police, the Georgia Court of Appeals has reversed the contempt order issued against him by an Ogeechee Judicial Circuit judge.
The intermediate appellate court ruled that, when Bulloch County Superior Court Judge Michael T. Muldrew detained the Davis Bozeman Johnson Law founding partner last September without first conducting a contempt hearing, he violated Johnson’s right to due process.
