Not Guilty – Repeat Gun Offender

,

On February 20, 2024, the District Attorney’s Office was hit with another “Not Guilty” verdict by a jury in Athens-Clarke County. Mr. Marcus Jamar Dowdy was charged with possession of a firearm while on probation for a first-offender felony related to the offense of entering an auto. After the trial where Ms. Gonzalez represented the State of Georgia, the jury only took approximately 15 minutes to find Mr. Dowdy NOT GUILTY.

Interestingly, Mr. Dowdy has other charges in Athens-Clarke County related to even more recent illegal activity with a firearm.
