Attorneys In Atlanta Test Cheating Case Seek Delay
Attorneys for former Atlanta Schools Superintendent Dr. Beverly Hall have asked a Fulton County Superior Court Judge to move the Atlanta schools test cheating trial.
Jury selection has always been scheduled for April 28th. But today, Hall’s attorneys asked Fulton County Superior Court Judge Judge Jerry Baxter to delay the trial until after the conclusion of Hall’s current medical regimen.
In an affidavit, an oncologist for Dr. Hall said the former Superintendent has stage 4 breast cancer. The oncologist also said that cancer is not curable but treatable.
Hall attorneys say their client has become progressively ill and unable to attend a trial for 6 to 8 months.
For today’s 5:44 segment, WABE’s Denis O’Hayer talked with WABE’s Rose Scott, who has followed the story from the beginning.
