A Georgia DA’s Charges of Criminal Damage to Government Property Will Be Dismissed After a Mistrial
One set of criminal charges against a Georgia district attorney is being dismissed, although he still faces more serious charges.
A mistrial was declared last week in Mark Jones’ trial on charges of first-degree criminal damage to government property and interfering with government property after the judge found witnesses were improperly watching video of the trial before testifying.
Jones is district attorney for Muscogee, Harris, Chattahoochee, Marion, Talbot, and Taylor counties.
