The conviction under examination at present belongs to Joey Watkins, a Georgia man sentenced to life in prison in July 2001 for aggravated assault, a weapons violation, misdemeanor stalking, and the felony murder of Isaac Dawkins in January 2000.
And despite the fact that there are many lawyers who have skeletons in their closet, including criminal
convictions, the law society defines good character pretty broadly to include an
examination if someone has ever been found guilty of or been convicted of any offence
under any statute (excluding speeding and parking ticket).
