A jailer’s termination was upheld Friday during the first civil service board hearing before a singular attorney following the seven-member board’s disbandment. Abena James Brown appealed her firing from the Hall County Jail, claiming it came following an injury on the job last October. “It wasn’t until I was injured that I started getting suspended (and) reprimanded,” Brown said before Gainesville attorney Madeline Wirt.
