Regardless of ~exactly~ what went on w/ the subpoena, tho, the ~charge~ requires "intent to fraudulently use" identifying information.

That does not to be present here — ABSENT the claim from Judge Weaver that she was afraid the publisher/lawyer would take from the account.

That's the only way that I see the identity fraud charges as being supportable. (I see no way to support the false statement charge.)

Annnnnyway, that's enough about Georgia & press freedom & legal ethics for now. Hard to get more info on a holiday weekend Friday evening!

AJC story left me confused whether open records request was for journalism purposes, or for discovery in a lawsuit.

The two are so intertwined here that it's hard to distinguish precisely.

Sounds right. Awful story either way of course.
