The Kudzu Case
One of the more prominent and unusual Judge cases has unexpected results that ultimately define the law for appeals from a city court in Georgia. Russell v. City of East Point, 261 Ga. 213, 403 SE2d 50 (1991), appeals to Judge Ashman's decision, deals with how the appeals court handles the appeal of the Constitutional matters of the local courts. Locally, it is better known as the kudzu case, and is handled with the home of a lawyer overgrown with weeds. The constitutional issue is whether the right to a jury trial applies in the case of a local ordinance in which the court has ruled that there is no possibility of detention.
