Judge Says No to Kilby

District Attorney Brian Rickman received Judge Smith’s ruling on both Kilby hearings from last Tuesday late Friday afternoon…

“The Judge ruled on the first part, that Mrs. Kilby was not indigent. He ruled that there was some property transferred before the trial, so basically her request for the County to have to pay, cover the cost of her transcripts, as I understand it, was denied. Then in the second part, he ruled that he would not grant her an appeal bond, meaning that she will remain incarcerated while her appeals go through the applet process. So on both of those motions the judge denied her request for relief.”

A hearing to determine if Kilby will have a new trial will be held on October 9th in Rabun County.
