Jury rules in favor of ex-ethics chief; awards $700,000 judgment (re. Deal ethics investigation) [View all]

Nathan Deal, after resigning from the US House so that his ethics violations there couldn't be investigated, committed more ethics violations while running for Governor. To cover those up he had the head of the State Ethics Commission forced from office and then he hand selected a new ethics chairperson, who conveniently chose not to investigate Gov. Deal.

A jury has just awarded $700,000 to Stacey Kalberman for being unfairly forced from office as retribution for investigating Gov. Nathan Deal’s 2010 campaign, a Fulton County jury ruled Friday.
