« Grand jury declines to indict Bannister »
Monday, October 11, 2010 at 11:45AM
Former Gwinnett County Commission Chairman Charles Bannister will not be indicted despite much speculation to the contrary in the wake of his resignation Friday from the commission. This morning, a Gwinnett grand jury returned a "no bill" on a potential charge of making false statements. The legal situation of Commissioner Kevin Kenerly, however, remains unclear. "Superior Court Judge Michael Clark Monday ordered that any presentments by the grand jury related to Kenerly be sealed until Oct. 22."
Even though Bannister has now been cleared of potential perjury charges, there stands to be plenty of political action as Gwinnett faces a special election to fill Bannister's unexpired term. I suspect that, once we get past the November elections, things will start to get interesting as candidates position themselves to run for the chairmanship.
