This is the only Judge in the Enotah District that I haven't appeared in front of. I cannot comment much about this Judge other than that he is the Chief Judge of the Enotah Judiciary Circuit.

Judge Barrett is no longer an active Judge in the Enotah District.

In a letter sent Wednesday to Gov. Nathan Deal, Chief Superior Court Judge David E. Barrett of the Enotah Judicial Circuit said he was retiring on Thursday. Deal, who will name Barrett's replacement, accepted the retirement letter.

A week ago during a Lumpkin County court hearing, Barrett pulled out his handgun -- not in anger but in frustration -- to try and make a point to a witness who was testifying she had been an assault victim.

Feigning to offer his gun to the woman, Barrett told her she was killing her case and then told her, "You might as well shoot your lawyer," according to District Attorney Jeff Langley, who was in the courtroom at the time. Langley said Barrett was trying to make "a poor rhetorical point."

Langley said he quickly approached the bench and told Barrett to put the gun away, which the judge did. "It was totally inappropriate conduct for a courtroom," Langley said in a recent interview. He stepped down amid a Judicial Qualifications Commission investigation into the incident.
