Cobb Judicial Circuit's Chief Magistrate Judge Joyette Holmes will become the district attorney, replacing Vic Reynolds, who left to become executive director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Gov. Brian Kemp announced the appointment Wednesday.
“Judge Holmes is a servant leader in her community, and I am very excited to select her as Cobb's new District Attorney,” Kemp said in a news release. “I know Joyette will put the safety of Cobb families first and always do the right thing—even when no one is watching.”
