Should an officer's life be put at risk over a decades-old traffic warrant? Cobb County Solicitor General Makia Metzger does not think so. Her office has been clearing bench warrant backlogs dating back to the 1990s because, at some point, you either pursue a case or you let it go. It is a resource question and a public safety question, because the most dangerous moment in any stop is the moment an officer pulls someone over.

Why Cobb County Is Clearing Old Bench Warrants and Rethinking Low-Level Traffic Arrests

February 17, 2026 7:45 am

Imagine being on trial for the worst thing you have ever done, and nobody is in the courtroom for you except your lawyer. Cobb County Solicitor General Makia Metzger says that moment is what drives her approach to misdemeanor justice. Instead of just processing cases, her office asks a simple question most of these young people have never heard: "What do you want to do with your life?" 🎧 Full episode: https://youtu.be/j9Whr3yzHDQ #YouthfulOffender #SecondChances #CobbCounty #CriminalJusticeReform #JusticeUnfiltered

"Maybe No One Has Ever Asked Them That Question" — Why Second Chances Matter in Court

February 17, 2026 7:30 am

Justice Unfiltered welcomes Cobb County Solicitor General Makia Metzger for an eye-opening conversation about what justice really looks like at the misdemeanor level. The first African American and first woman elected to the role, Metzger shares how her journey, her faith, and her legal career shaped a people-first approach to prosecution. Hosts Tug Cowart and Daniel Matalon of A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds dig into her Youthful Offender Program, which has seen zero recidivism across more than 200 graduates, the office's push to modernize with digital case systems, and why clearing bench warrant backlogs from the 1990s is both a public safety and fiscal priority. The conversation also tackles the real cost of jailing low-level offenders with mental health needs (roughly $3 million a year in Cobb County), the creation of trauma-informed spaces for domestic violence victims, and why the jury system still works when you let it. Candid, compelling, and full of real-world insight into how one office is rethinking misdemeanor justice from the inside out.

Holly Waltman breaks down why representing yourself in Georgia traffic court is almost always a bad idea.
