Deal Names Criminal Justice Panel Appointees
ATLANTA, Ga. - The prosecutor known for his role in the case of a black teenager who served a lengthy prison sentence is among the appointees to a state panel on criminal justice reform.
Douglas County District Attoey David McDade is one of 13 members of the Special Council on Criminal Justice Reform named Monday by Gov. Nathan Deal. Deal identified prison overcrowding as one of his conces.
The council will make recommendations to the General Assembly by Nov. 1 for suggested legislation to be considered next year.
Genarlow Wilson battled a mandatory 10-year prison term after he was caught on videotape having oral sex with a 15-year-old girl at a 2003 New Year's Eve party in Douglas County. He was released in 2007 after spending nearly three years in prison.
