Seal of the Supreme Court of Georgia
The State of Georgia is appealing a ruling in favor of a woman sentenced in a Bulloch County Superior Court case to 10 years in prison for failing to seek medical attention for her badly injured child, whom she was feeding dog food, according to testimony. The case will be heard Monday. The woman, Esther Primack, first pled guilty to the charge, but filed a “writ of habeus corpus,” which allows prisoners already convicted to challenge the conviction, according to information from Jane Hansen, Georgia Supreme Court public information officer.
