The story of Devonia Inman’s conviction in South Georgia was spotlighted in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution Breakdown podcast, “Murder Below the Gnat Line.” The 2017 podcast asked, “Is the wrong man in prison?” ![]() Inman will be reunited with his family as soon as possible.”Ī spokeswoman for the state Attorney General’s Office, which unsuccessfully defended Inman’s conviction, said the office had no comment. “We are hopeful that the court’s order will finally bring an end to this matter and that Mr. Inman and his family, were extremely gratified to receive the court’s final order,” he said. Tom Reilly, a lawyer with the Atlanta law firm Troutman Pepper, which has represented Inman at no cost, applauded the ruling. Tuesday’s ruling by Chattooga County Chief Judge Kristina Cook Graham follows an opinion issued two years ago by Georgia Chief Justice David Nahmias who said Inman’s case, out of more than 1,500 murder cases he had reviewed, “is the one that causes me the most concern that an innocent man remains convicted.” ![]()
