Chief Magistrate Frank Cox took office in 2001. From the very beginning of his
administration, Frank Cox and some magistrate judges working for him often
ordered no supervision for criminals charged with serious felony offenses while
they were out of jail on bond. This included persons charged with horrific crimes
such as child molestation, aggravated child molestation, armed robbery,
domestic violence, and drug trafficking.

Below are just a few more of these instances:

In addition to these non-supervised cases, a criminal defendant charged with
burglary ($10,000 bond) was released on 3/25/02 by signing himself out of jail on
a signature bond without posting any money.
The reason why Pretrial Release Agencies in Georgia operate under the authority
of a panel of Superior Court Judges pursuant to Uniform Superior Court Rule 27 is
to avoid these types of abuses.

| If you find the sexual deviancy of Howard Chesshire astonishing, Chief Magistrate Judge Frank Cox admitted to having a "social relationship" with a subordinate employee. To further prove he didn't have authority over Spann, there is a direct quote from Cox stating so. Judge Cox believed in having employees spied on...including a judge. |
Since these criminals were not placed under supervision, Wanda Spann’s office had no authority to monitor
them while they were out of jail on bond.

Spann attempted to notify the Superior Court about the problems with the bonds and personal harassment by
Cox through then Chief Superior Court Judge Mary Staley. Judge Staley kept putting off scheduled
meetings with Spann and within two weeks of canceled meetings Wanda Spann was unlawfully
suspended by Chief Magistrate Frank Cox.
Highlights from the Cox Deposition:
In the deposition Cox admitted that he wanted to attend events with Spann if he felt like it would be politically
advantageous to him. Despite mistreating Spann on the job, Cox wanted to use her publicly to get votes.
