Attorney for arrested Georgia state representative: 'We're going to fight this'
CNN
An attorney for Georgia state Rep. Park Cannon vowed that the Democrat will contest the charges she faces after being arrested Thursday for knocking on Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's office door while he signed a sweeping elections bill into law.
"She's facing up to eight years in prison," Cannon's attorney, Gerald Griggs, told CNN's Don Lemon on "CNN Tonight." "We're planning on having conversations with the district attorney, hopefully to convince her to dismiss the charges. But if not, we are going to take this case all the way to jury trial and convince the jury that she did not violate any code section of the Georgia code and that she should not have been arrested."More Related News
