On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, we learn the details about a lawsuit that was settled between the ACLU and ACLU of Georgia against the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. The ACLU accused the DA’s Office of not adhering to a rule about unindicted individuals detained on felony charges for 45 days at the Fulton County Jail. Fallon McClure, deputy director for policy and advocacy at ACLU of Georgia and Legal Director Cory Isaacson discuss how their settlement is a step towards addressing overcrowding at the Rice Street detention center.

Also, Atlanta now has three skateparks with plans for seven by 2031. One of which was recently named in honor of Thomas Taylor, somebody who impacted many while he was alive. WABE’s Christopher Alston shares the story.

Then, data collected by the CDC and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence calculates how Black and Brown Communities continue to be disproportionately impacted by gun violence. Rose talks with Dr. Keisha Lindsay Nurse, an Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer with the CDC, about how her family was personally affected and what the data doesn’t show about gun violence.
