Western Judicial Circuit DA
The Western Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office, under the direction of Deborah Gonzalez
โThe heart that gives thanks is a happy one, for we cannot feel thankful and unhappy at the same time.โ ~Douglas Wood
Happy Thanksgiving from the Western Judicial Circuit Family to yours!
Ensuring that the voices of victims and survivors are heard is the most critical part of our work in the Western Judicial Circuit D.A.โs office.
Earlier this month, an Athens-Clarke County jury found defendant Ricky Darnell Grisson guilty on one count of rape, child molestation, and incest. The Honorable Judge Lisa Lott sentenced Grisson to life without parole.
Assistant District Attorney Kelly Williamson was the prosecutor in this case. Other court team members included Investigator Takia Taylor and Victim Advocate Stephani Stewart.
We want to thank the victim for her display of bravery in testifying, the courageous survivors, our dedicated team members, our law enforcement partners led by Detective Dara Shapland, and our community partners from The Cottage and ACC-SANE, who were critical in our office being able to prosecute this case successfully.
Our office will be closed on November 23rd and November 24th in observance of Thanksgiving.
We will resume regular business hours on Monday, November 27.
