www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Gwinnett County Solicitor General Brian Whiteside admitted in a Monday court hearing that he had committed criminal contempt by unilaterally canceling a judge’s calendar in January as the omicron variant of COVID-19 surged.
Judge Charles S. Wynne, brought in from Hall County, suspended Whiteside’s sentence of three days in jail and a $1,000 fine after Whiteside apologized in open court to all Gwinnett’s state court judges.
“I’d like to apologize to our bench wholeheartedly,” Whiteside said to all six judges, who were present Monday in the courtroom. “I wasn’t trying to be contemptuous, but when it comes to the law, I actually was.”
