Attorney Don Samuel joins Tex McIver’s defense team

Jan. 23, 2017 - Atlanta - Don Samuel argues before the Supreme Court in the abortion case. At far right, is Dep. Solicitor General Sarah Warren, who argued for the state. The Georgia Supreme court heard two cases this morning. In the first case the court heard arguments in the appeal of a Fulton court ruling involving the state's tax credit scholarship program. The $58 million, K-12 program expends public dollars that in some cases and in a circuitous fashion, fund religious schools. The second case was an abortion case in which the state asserts Georgia's laws are immune from constitutional challenge. BOB ANDRES /BANDRES@AJC.COM
