In an article published in 2022, Cobb County State Court Judge, Carl Bowers, said that when Bowers went into private practice, “Brantley told him to remember he was not just practicing law, but running a business.” Interestingly, while a judge is a government position for the purpose of serving the public, Judge Brantley treats his judgeship exactly as a business, and nothing more. The below chart illustrates exactly how the "business" of a Superior Court judge is conducted: | In an article published in 2022, Cobb County State Court Judge, Carl Bowers, said that when Bowers went into private practice, “Brantley told him to remember he was not just practicing law, but running a business.” Interestingly, while a judge is a government position for the purpose of serving the public, Judge Brantley treats his judgeship exactly as a business, and nothing more.

1. On '''September 13, 2022''', counsel for Jackson filed a ''Demand for Jury Trial'' into the eviction case with Paramount. | |||
2. On October 21, 2022, Judge Leftridge's staff attorney informed the parties through email that there would not be a court reporter for the jury trial scheduled to take place on October 25, 2022 and that the Court would not delay the trial even if the parties could not secure their own court reporter. On '''October 24, 2022''', Jackson filed for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy resulting in an automatic stay of the eviction case. | |||
3. After the Bankruptcy stay was lifted, Paramount filed a motion for an immediate writ of possession ("eviction") and for the release of all funds that were in the Registry of the Court, which was estimated to be just over $115,000. Judge Leftridge's staff attorney informed the parties on December 21, 2022 that the Court was going to issue an order on Paramount's motion, which had only been filed the evening before, December 20, 2022. On '''December 22, 2022''', the parties were served an order signed by Judge Leftridge for an immediate writ of possession against Jackson, the release of the more than $115,000 held in the Registry to Paramount and ordering Jackson to pay $30,000.00 more into the Registry of the Court no later than December 31, 2022. Counsel for Jackson had emailed the Judge's staff attorney earlier that morning only to receive an auto-reply stating that she was on vacation. | |||
4. On December 27, 2022, Jackson filed a motion to recuse Judge Leftridge from the eviction case. Judge Leftridge signed a reassignment order on '''January 6, 2023''' in light of Jackson's recusal motion and the motion to recuse was subsequently assigned to Judge Richardson. | |||
5. The writ of possession ordering that Jackson be evicted from the Property did not include his fiance and children. However, on '''January 12, 2023''', the Fulton County Sheriff Deputies used that writ of possession to remove everyone from the Property including Jackson's fiance and children. | |||
6. On January 31, 2023, Jackson filed a ''Petition to Quiet Title and Complaint for Breach of Contract'' against the McCrackens, which required the assigned judge to appoint a special master. That case was assigned to Judge Richardson but Judge Richardson never appointed a special master. | |||
7. On '''February 13, 2023''', Judge Richardson voluntarily recused herself from the Quiet Title case but did NOT recuse herself from the eviction case. The Quiet Title case was re-assigned to Judge Krause upon Judge Richardson's recusal. | |||
8. Judge Krause never appointed a special master in the Quiet Title action. | |||
9. On '''February 17, 2023''', Judge Richardson denied Jackson’s motion to recuse Judge Leftridge and the eviction case was then assigned back to Judge Leftridge. Judge Krause then transferred the Quiet Title action to Judge Leftridge on February 24, 2023. | |||
10. On '''March 2, 2023''', Jackson's counsel motioned to recuse Judge Leftridge from the Quiet Title action and the matter was reassigned to Judge Shukura Ingram. Before Judge Leftridge signed the reassignment order as required by law, she set a hearing on the McCrackens' motion trying to stay the appointment of a special master. That hearing was set to take place on March 10, 2023 before the Honorable Judge Alford Dempsey. However, on '''March 9, 2023''', the Court canceled that hearing in light of the resusal motion pending against Judge Leftridge. | |||
11. On '''March 10, 2023''', Judge Ingram denied Jackson's motion to recuse Judge Leftridge from the Quiet Title action and the case was assigned back to Judge Leftridge. | |||
12. After refusing to appoint a special master in the Quiet Title action and considering other facts giving rise to an appearance of impropriety, Jackson filed a ''Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Writ of Prohibition'' against the entire Fulton County Superior Court bench of judges. That matter is still pending. | |||

Perhaps Brantley’s many years of government employment were never about serving the public; but rather, purely for the money and personal gain. After all, one would be naive to believe that Brantley simply changed for the worse in his retirement and that this whole “chasing the almighty dollar” is a new leaf for Brantley. Tragically, who Judge Brantley is now is probably who he has always been. | Perhaps Brantley’s many years of government employment were never about serving the public; but rather, purely for the money and personal gain.
