The attorney for indicted state Sen. Don Balfour, R-Snellville, will go before a judge at 9 a.m. Friday in an attempt to quash the state’s case and argue it is a violation of Georgia’s separation of powers for a member of the executive branch to prosecute a legislator.
In other words, attorney Ken Hodges is arguing that only the state Legislature has the power to punish the senator.
