So, how exactly does this Project ORCA ''devour'' cases at such a rapid pace? What is the secret? Cobb County attorney, | So, how exactly does this Project ORCA ''devour'' cases at such a rapid pace? What is the secret? Cobb County attorney, [https://mcmasterlegal.com/ Matthew D. McMaster], shared his opinion: "The court's due diligence is our due process. And due diligence takes time. If time is being reduced, so is due diligence and, in turn, due process. It's as simple as that." When asked if there’s evidence proving that due process rights were being sacrificed at the hand of Project ORCA, McMaster responded: "Absolutely. The numbers don't lie.”<ref>[https://mcmasterlegal.com/ Matthew D. McMaster, Esq.]</ref> | ||
To his point, looking at the numbers, disposing of over 100,000 cases in a year and a half leaves little time for due process. Project ORCA keeps a public scorecard of the number of cases closed by judge.<ref>[https://sharefulton.fultoncountyga.gov/dataset/Project-ORCA-Open-and-Closed-Cases-by-JudgeName/6th6-2xwr Project ORCA: Open and Closed Cases by JudgeName]</ref> While best intentions may be behind keeping score in this manner, the end result is that judges are incentivized to cut corners, sacrificing due process, simply to keep their case numbers down. Contributing to the atrocity, Fulton was nationally recognized "for its innovative methods of whittling down the backlog." It is clear here that, as with communism, misplaced incentives result in misbehavior—namely, abuse of power and deprivation of rights. | To his point, looking at the numbers, disposing of over 100,000 cases in a year and a half leaves little time for due process.
