Gwinnett sheriff apologizes to Judge Glenda Hatchett

Gwinnett County Sheriff Keybo Taylor issued a public apology to Judge Glenda Hatchett following her high-profile sexual battery case against a former Georgia sheriff. Hatchett was the victim of a 2022 incident involving former Bleckley County Sheriff Kris Coody, who later pleaded guilty. Taylor’s statement, released during a Women’s History Month campaign, offered support on behalf of "institutions that failed" her. The move comes as several Georgia sheriffs criticize efforts to recover legal fees from Hatchett.
