Former DA wants guilty plea tossed

Wednesday, September 5. 2012
Former Piedmont Judicial Circuit District Attorney Tim Madison wants to withdraw his guilty plea from 2008. Madison plead guilty in March 2008 to seven counts of theft while serving as district attorney and was sentenced to 11 years — six to be served in custody and the rest on probation. But in a March court filing in Banks County, Madison claimed that he only pleaded guilty because he was told by his attorney, Ed Tolley, that he would serve his time in federal custody, not state custody. Madison now claims that Tolley “acted deficiently” and that he would not have pleaded guilty had he known his time would be served in state custody.
No hearing date has been set in the motion.

#1 and he is an attorney on 09/07/12 at 12:46 PM [Reply]
Mr. Madison told many people, many things when he was the DA. He used threats of jail time againt those who didn't testify the way he wanted. He was an attorney in the State of Geogia but now he wants to blame another for things he did wrong because he served his time in state prison. Next thing he will want is is license back to pratice law.

Actually, that is the FIRST thing he wants. That is what this is all about. HOWEVER, the Georgia Bar will determine whether he gets them back even if he is(which I doubt) able to get the plea thrown out. He had the best lawyer in the state. Mr. Tolley is no idiot. Madison is as shown by his actions for that past 20+ years!!

Imagine that a Lawyer that told a lie. Well Tim Madison what makes you think that you are better than all the people you sent to prison because you lied to them. The way I see it Your lying to me and others is just karma coming back to bite you.
Senior Judge Marvin Sorrells should deny your guilty plea withdraw.
