Primary Content
A Georgia jury has found a former aide to former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed guilty of violating the state's open records laws.
The Fulton County jury on Thursday found Jenna Garland committed two misdemeanors by ordering a subordinate to delay release of public documents politically damaging to Reed and some members of the Atlanta City Council.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports jurors deliberated about an hour before rendering a verdict.
Garland showed little emotion as it was announced. The state asked for $1,000 fines on each count.
The judge reduced the fines to $750 on each count.
