State Appeal Rejected in DUI Case

From the Independent.com

"A Hall County district judge has ruled his court has no jurisdiction to accept the state's appeal of the sentences for a man convicted of driving under the influence twice in two weeks. According to the ruling issued by Judge James Livingston, the Legislature has only granted prosecuting attorneys the right to appeal the decision of the trial court in cases where legal questions need to be corrected for future cases or the attorney felt the sentence was excessively lenient in felony cases. The document was filed in Hall County District Court Wednesday."
