An Atlanta attorney said Monday that the abrupt resignation of the Griffin Circuit’s chief judge, Paschal A. English, last Friday may have been prompted by the judge’s failure to investigate allegations of impropriety on the part of a colleague who resigned his judicial post last week.
Gary S. Freed, a lawyer at Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Martin in Atlanta, said Monday that English’s failure to address allegations that Superior Court Judge Johnnie L. Caldwell Jr. had made a Peachtree City attorney, Susan M. Brown, the object of persistent conduct “of a sexist and intimidating nature” might have been a factor in English’s resignation, which is effective Friday. Freed and Brown are co-counsel in a long-running Fayetteville divorce case.
