In 30 years on the bench, Cobb County Superior Court Judge George H. Kreeger has heard every kind of case and sentenced people to life imprisonment and even death. He is stern, serious and a man of few words. Yet he says his most satisfying work has been in a role akin to a cheerleader, giving support and encouragement.
That would be in his work as presiding judge of the Cobb County Drug Treatment Court, an 18-month pre- and post-adjudication program for nonviolent, first-time felony drug offenders similar to others around the state. The requirements-along with staying sober and substance free-include counseling, group therapy, 12-step meetings, random drug tests and appearances before the judge in weekly Monday morning sessions.
