COBB COUNTY, Ga. A lawsuit filed last year over a bullying case at Harrison High School was dismissed by a Cobb County judge this week on sovereign immunity grounds.
The suit had been filed by the family of Jorge Santa. The student was suspended from school and at one point faced felony charges in 2019 over what his family attorney characterized as defending himself from two other students who accosted him, stole from him, verbally abused him, used racial slurs and then physically assaulted him.
