The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the parents of three children who were shot and killed in 2016 are not considered “victims” for the purposes of tolling the statute of limitations.
The plaintiffs argued that the trial court erred in ruling that the two-year statute of limitations was not tolled by OCGA § 9-3-99, which pauses the statute of limitations for tort claims while a criminal prosecution is pending.
