Attorney for Jeremy Green Files Pretrial Motions to Suppress Evidence

The parents of Jennifer Cobb plan to be back in Hart County Superior Court Thursday morning when the attorney for Jeremy Green comes before the judge with a list of pretrial motions.

Green was arrested in June 2021 and later indicted on August 17, 2021.

The six-count indictment alleges Green molested and raped “a teenage girl under the age of 16 from July 2015 to November 2015.” That girl was later identified as Jennifer Cobb.

Green has pled not guilty. He was released on a $250,000 bond and has been under house arrest since then.

Jennifer Cobb died in June 2021 shortly after he was released on bond.

On Friday, October 27, Green’s attorney, Nancy Tomlinson, filed a motion asking the Judge to throw out evidence and bar certain witness statements, specifically statements to the GBI made by Jennifer’s mother Susan Cobb, as well as her daughter’s therapist, a friend in Watkinsville and “others.”

Tomlinson said the statements fall under Georgia’s Hearsay rule and should not be allowed as part of the evidence against her client.

She has also motioned to exclude testimony from the forensic interviewer stating that because the victim, Jennifer Cobb is deceased, she cannot be cross-examined.

Tomlinson has also asked to be able to interview potential jurors individually instead of in a group because she said group interviews might influence the responses of those potential jurors who had not heard of the case.

In August, Superior Court Judge Chris Phelps denied Tomlinson’s motion to allow her client to work outside of the house and ordered his case be brought to trial at the upcoming trial weeks in November.

So far a date for Green’s trial has not been announced.
