A handful of north Georgia defense attorneys have filed motions in Catoosa County Superior Court this week questioning whether they’ve been given all the evidence in cases involving clients that were arrested during undercover sex sting operations.
The motions, filed by attorneys McCracken Poston, David Dunn, Steve Ellis and Shawn Bible, allege that prosecutors with the district attorney’s office are holding back information by giving “false or incomplete” evidence about the FBI’s Northwest Georgia Crimes Against Children Task Force, specifically instances in which untrained and uncertified civilians may have been allowed to participate in such undercover capacities.
The task force has fallen under intense scrutiny over the past few weeks after it was learned that the operation’s leader, FBI special agent Ken Hillman, allegedly abused his power over the past two years by influencing local officers to look the other way during instances where he was pulled over on suspicion of drinking and driving.
