A Georgia county judge and two others are accused of using racial slurs in court.
Allen Duray Green was at the court to testify in a burglary and arson case. Several people were in the courtroom, and Judge Roger Bradley asked who Green was.
“That’s when the two investigators popped off, the ‘N****** Ray,'” Green recalled.
Fannin County Sheriff Dane Kirby and other county workers who were present acknowledged the use of the word but insist that there was “nothing inappropriate said in the courtroom that day.”

They said that the lieutenant and deputy who used the word were referring to Green’s “street name.”
However, Green claimed he did not have a street name and had never been called that.
Furthermore, the judge himself apparently used the word when referring to an old black bootlegger who went by the name “N***** Bob.”
Still, county workers insisted that there was nothing wrong.
“There was nothing derogatory,” Sheriff Kirby said. “The context was good; you all are wasting your time.”
However, Green felt victimized by the language used. “It hurts. It still hurts right now,” Green said. “It’s a subject that my grandfather, my great-grandfather had to deal with. Not me.”
Green has since hired an attorney and is asking for those involved to be reprimanded.
