A special prosecutor has dismissed all charges against a former DeKalb County judge four days after he procured the indictment from a Cobb County grand jury.
On Monday, Hart County District Attorney Parks White dismissed six felony charges and a misdemeanor count against former Superior Court Judge Cynthia Becker. In return, Becker signed a consent order with the state judicial watchdog agency that she will never seek judicial office again, according to the dismissal order. Becker also delivered a written apology for what White said in the dismissal were “erroneous statements that became the object of this legal investigation and prosecution.”
