Former Georgia Supreme Court chief justice dies from virus
November 28, 2020
ATLANTA (AP) — George H. Carley, a former chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, has died. He was 82.
Carley died Thursday night from COVID-19, according to a statement posted on the court’s website.
Gov. Brian Kemp tweeted his condolences Friday night, calling Carley’s death a “devastating loss.”
“Please pray for his loved ones during this difficult time,” the governor wrote.
In 2012, Carley was set to retire as presiding justice of the high court, but his colleagues on the bench unanimously voted for him to instead serve as chief justice for the two months he had before his retirement date.
