September 29, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 26 ORDER REMANDING the State's criminal prosecution of Cathleen Alston Latham under Section 1455 to Fulton County Superior Court. In the light of these holdings, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to CLOSE this case. The Court's conclusion is not to suggest any opinion about the State's case against Latham. The Court makes no ruling on the merits of the charges against Latham or any defense that she may offer. Latham maintains the presumption of innocence and bears no burden of proving that she did not commit the crimes charged against her. The burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt remains with the State. This Order's sole determination is that there is no federal jurisdiction over the criminal case. The outcome of this case will be for a Fulton County judge and trier of fact to ultimately decide. Signed by Judge Steve C. Jones on 9/29/23. (rsg)
