After serving 23 years as district attorney of Fulton County, Paul Howard lost his runoff race against fellow Democratic rival Fanni Willis on Tuesday night. Howard's loss comes less than two months after the top prosecutor filed multiple charges, including a felony murder charge, against officer Garrett Rolfe for the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks outside a Wendy's restaurant in Atlanta. Howard also charged a second officer, Devin Brosnan, with aggravated assault and violation of his oath of office.
BJ's Pull Quote-
The long-serving prosecutor finished second to Willis in a primary earlier this year, but when neither candidate was able to reach 50 percent of the vote, a runoff race was scheduled for Aug. 11. The voters' preference was made clear on Tuesday night, with Willis winning over 73 percent of the vote.
BJ - doesn't look as if he knew his constituency - Hint it's not twitter.
