The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling Friday means Ken Hodges cannot be sued on charges that he unfairly targeted Charles Rehberg after he sent faxes that were critical of the Phoebe Putney Health System to civic leaders in Albany. Rehberg contends he was investigated as a “favor” to the hospital.
The federal panel issued a similar ruling in March. Hodges is now a Democratic candidate for attorney general in the race to replace Thurbert Baker.
