Gwinnett's Solicitor General Will Not Get Jail Time
www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Gwinnett County Solicitor General Brian Whiteside admitted in a Monday court hearing that he had committed criminal contempt by unilaterally canceling a judge\u2019s calendar in January as the omicron variant of COVID-19 surged.
Judge Charles S. Wynne, brought in from Hall County, suspended Whiteside\u2019s sentence of three days in jail and a $1,000 fine after Whiteside apologized in open court to all Gwinnett\u2019s state court judges.
\u201cI\u2019d like to apologize to our bench wholeheartedly,\u201d Whiteside said to all six judges, who were present Monday in the courtroom. \u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to be contemptuous, but when it comes to the law, I actually was.\u201d
