ATLANTA — Given the slow pace of jury selection, two pregnant attorneys representing defendants in the “Young Slime Life” gang case think they can have their babies, take maternity leave and still be back in court for opening statements.
Fulton County prosecutors filed a motion last month seeking to sever the cases of two of the 14 defendants in the interest of “judicial economy” after learning their attorneys, Nicole Fegan and Teombre Calland, are pregnant.
Both women wish to remain on the case, and persuaded Chief Judge Ural Glanville to wait until late April before deciding whether to separate their clients’ cases.
