The same Georgia Supreme Court decision that reinstated criminal charges against the former housekeeper for ex-Waffle House CEO Joe Rogers Jr. and her two lawyers for secretly recording Rogers in a sexual encounter—charges a jury rejected in April—is now the basis for renewed arguments over related civil litigation at the Court of Appeals.
