One of Flournoy's most notorious rulings came in 2011 in what may very well be the largest white-collar scandal in Cobb County history. According to an AJC article authored by Margaret Newkirk, Judge Flournoy threw out a 31-count racketeering and theft indictment against former Cobb EMC CEO, Dwight Brown. Brown at the time was represented by the Barnes Law Group, founded by former Governor of Georgia, Roy Barnes, who appointed Judge Flournoy to the Cobb County Superior Court bench in 2000. Despite his relationship to the former Governor, Flournoy did not recuse himself from that case. | One of Flournoy's most notorious rulings came in 2011 in what may very well be the largest white-collar scandal in Cobb County history.
