Cobb County's new district attorney, Joyette Holmes, started work this week, beginning Monday with an assembly of judges, legislators, prosecutors and well-wishers for her investiture.
“The support in the room was humbling,” Holmes told the Daily Report Monday evening. “I was just overwhelmed with the huge showing of law enforcement, the judiciary, the Georgia Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, the Cobb courts, district attorneys and solicitors general from around the metro area. These are groups I know I'll be working with closely. I was just grateful.”
When it was over, she went to work—meeting with staff and community groups that work closely with the DA's office. She said she has made no decisions yet about leadership changes. For now, the top assistant DAs remain in place.
