MARIETTA — The first hearing for City Councilman Anthony Coleman was heard in Cobb Superior Court on Wednesday after he was indicted on charges of violating the racketeering act and making false statements.
Judge James Whitfield heard motions filed by Coleman’s attorney, Jimmy Berry, but the judge did not make any rulings.
One of Berry’s motions was unsuccessful in court Wednesday, so he dropped it almost immediately after arguing in front of the judge.
Berry, a Marietta defense attorney, argued the charges in the indictment should be dropped because Coleman was not given a 15-day notice of his indictment, as Georgia law requires for elected officials, according to the motion filed Oct. 20.
