+In light of her personal relationship with Captain Leon Gates and the unconstitutional eviction of the residents at 955 Tiverton Lane, counsel for Derrick Jackson filed a second motion for recusal against Judge Leftridge to have her removed from the presiding over 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. 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.<ref>[https://www.ajc.com/news/local/judge-throws-out-cobb-emc-indictment-citing-courtroom-accessibility/dEdeHrvTkoBAAnS10xiEQI/ Margaret Newkirk, Judge throws out Cobb EMC indictment, citing courtroom accessibility]</ref> Brown at the time was represented by Barnes Law Group, founded by former governor Roy Barnes who appointed Flournoy to the Cobb County Superior Court bench in 2000. Flournoy based his ruling on testimony that the indictment was not returned in a place open to the public as required under Georgia law.<ref>See Sampson v. State, 124 Ga. 776 (1906); Sellars v.

-Flournoy's decision was upheld on appeal by the Supreme Court of Georgia<ref>State v. Brown, 293 Ga. 493, 748 S.E.2d 376 (Ga. 2013)</ref> based on the testimony of another Cobb County Superior Court Judge, George H. Kreeger, and the following three witnesses with close ties to both Judge Flournoy and former governor Barnes:
-* Tyler Browning, Judge Flournoy's first staff attorney, latest campaign chairman and son of longtime friend Tom Browning
-* John Salter, Barnes Law Group attorney and son-in-law to Roy Barnes
-* Cameron Tribble, Barnes Law Group attorney and attorney for former Cobb EMC CEO, Dwight Brown
-Despite his personal relationships with Roy Barnes and Tyler Browning, Flournoy did not recuse himself from that case. Judge Flournoy, Judge Kreeger and Tom Browning would years later collectively play a much more sinister roll in enabling a situation of potential child grooming which could in turn lead to [https://thewikilaw.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Lion%27s_Den human trafficking].<ref>[https://thewikilaw.org/wiki/images/a/af/Borders.PDF Affidavit of Stephanie Borders]</ref><ref>[https://thewikilaw.org/wiki/images/5/53/Fernando.pdf Affidavit of Fernando Zapien Ramirez]</ref> That case is better known as [The Lion's Den].
