Something is wrong with Attorney Merchant. She needs to make her electronic request more concise and understand some of the information she is requesting does not exist. She is borderline abusing the judicial system. Currently, she has cost the Fulton County taxpayers approximately $205,000 for filings that does not directly effect her client's case. Her unethical action is subject to review by the Georgia bar.

Guaranteed fanny told them don't give her Anything. But Ashley needs it for her client and she'll keep pushing.And they're gonna keep on till they till they all are without a job.Cause ashley's not gonna stop. She gets paid to do a job. And she does it. Plus they dont like her because she's in the attorney advocacy support group.The group stands up for attorneys when they can't get help anywhere else. Just like when Glandville threw Brian in jail. Just for questioning him for having secret ex parte meeting w/o defense lawyers. Ashliegh and several other attorneys showed up and defended Brian. Consequently Glandville got thrown off the case. They hold them to the letter of the law and fulton county employees hate it. They like to run over the constituents in their county.

[@briansmyla8696]

I mean, the lowest passing scored law school graduate in their class still gets to take the bar exam, and when they pass with a minimum passing score, they can still claim the title of 'esquire'... The problem is that the law school graduates that got through by the skin of their teeth are being hired in the prosecurors' offices when other higher scoring competing applicants are being passed over because they look like they have a privilege card. That's not right, and that's not what the public deserves. Affirmative Action was struck down by the courts as unfair and discriminatory. Why is it still allowed to go unchallenged? Is it because it was re branded as DEI?
