Governor Sonny Perdue has filled three vacancies on Georgia’s Superior Court Benches.
Shawn LaGrua, who some had speculated may be in the running for the interim Secretary of State Appointment, has been named to the Superior Court of the Atlanta Judicial circuit.
Brunswick District Attorney Stephen Kelley has been appointed to the Brunswick Judicial Circuit.
Ken Wynne, D.A. for Northeast Georgia, was also named to the Alcovy Superior Court.

There is no better choice for Superior Court of the Atlanta Circuit than Shawn LaGrua. She (truly) did a very good job as Solicitor General of DeKalb County.
And no better choice than Stephen Kelley either. He made a great D.A. I wonder who will replace him.
What is her resume or qualifications for the judgeship? I’ve only heard her name or seen her in action at SEB meetings presenting cases before the board in her capacity as “inspector general” (which I think was created in the last couple of years).
For Perdue, she holds the most important qualification: former prosecutor. Doesn’t really matter if she has tried a divorce case or ever handled a contract case or done a real estate closing. She has prosecuted criminals. ‘Nuf said.
Federal Judge Alimo past away at Brunswick a few days ago. Rumors are that Georgia’s AG may be appointed by Obama to fill that seat.
