Georgia judge declines to freeze law to discipline prosecutors, suggesting she will reject challenge

after some have brought fewer drug possession cases and sought shorter prison sentences, arguing Democrats are coddling criminals.

More damaging to those who oppose the law is Whitaker’s finding that the suit is unlikely to succeed. She agreed with arguments put forward by state Attorney General Chris Carr’s office that the law doesn’t violate the state constitution. “While we are disappointed that our motion was denied, this is just the beginning of what we expect will be a long legal battle,” DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston, a Democrat and one of the plaintiffs, said in a statement. “We look forward to presenting our full arguments against this dangerous and undemocratic law.”
