At the October 20th meeting of the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville, Rosanna Szabo educated the group about the duties and role of the Solicitor General’s office.  It is responsible for the prosecution of all State misdemeanor crimes in the State Court of Gwinnett County and all county ordinance violations in the Recorder’s Court of Gwinnett County.  Her office handles over 100,000 ordinance violations a year.   Violations relate to traffic citations, DUI, property crimes, shoplifting, and domestic violence, among others.  She recounted four stories that helped demonstrate the type cases the Solicitor General handles.  One involved a 13-year-old boy killed accidentally at a gun show; one a vehicular homicide by a 72-year-old man; another featured a theft which led to deportation proceedings to send a woman to Yemen; the last featured a humorous DUI situation.  She solicited opinions on what the group considered appropriate sentences for the various misdemeanors she had described.
