Georgia school shooting suspect's father asks for separation from other inmates, cites 'personal safety'
Fox News
Lawyers for Colin Gray are asking a court to separate him from other inmates inside the Barrow County Detention Center over concerns about his personal safety.
"As a result of the coverage, the public perception as discerned through both the local and national media, and most notably, social media, has led to a nonstop barrage of information being transmitted to the public, leading to incalculable number of threats against the Defendant and calling for both harm and violence to befall the Defendant, and in some cases, even calling for death of the Defendant," the 54-year-old's attorneys wrote in a copy of the filing obtained by the station. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
They said that "so many lives in the community of Barrow County have been touched in unfathomable ways, it would be reckless to assume there are NO inmates, either currently or in the near future, being housed in the Barrow County Detention Center, who wish harm to the Defendant," the lawyers continued.
