A judge from southeast Georgia is leaving the bench to join a law firm in Atlanta. Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley has been on the bench for over 14 years. He is known for overseeing a high-profile trial in 2021 that resulted in convictions for three men involved in a murder.

The case involved the killing of a 25-year-old Black man who was chased and shot in a Georgia neighborhood. Further details about the case and the judge's decision to leave the bench are available from local news sources. Judge Walmsley's move to private practice marks a change in his career after more than a decade of serving on the bench in Savannah.
