Television judge Glenda Hatchett is taking legal action against a former Georgia sheriff following a groping incident that occurred at a 2022 conference. The judge best known for her television shows “Judge Hatchett” and “The Verdict with Judge Hatchett,” has filed a complaint against former Bleckley County Sheriff Kristopher Coody, who has already pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor sexual battery charge. Hatchett’s lawsuit alleges the Georgia Sheriffs Association should not have invited Coody to their event due to his history of “habitual intoxication” and assault.
