With a 2-1 vote, the Georgia Court of Appeals has thrown out a $10.6 million verdict against the city of Albany, which was sued after a man was killed at a violence-plagued unlicensed nightclub the city had allowed to stay in business while prosecutors and police investigated criminal activity there.
The majority opinion, authored by Judge Charlie Bethel, with the concurrence of recently appointed Judge Elizabeth Gobeil, said the city is protected by sovereign immunity.
