District Attorney Japour had the honor of serving as the guest speaker for the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), West Georgia Chapter, during their meeting last night.

DA Japour provided an in-depth update on the development of our newly formed West Georgia Judicial Circuit. She highlighted insights into the daily operations of the DA’s office and shared the progress of our new circuit.

District Attorney Japour and members of the offfice attended the Fentanyl Summit held at City Station this week, joining community leaders, law enforcement, and advocates to address the escalating synthetic opioid crisis.

The summit featured keynote speakers Gus and Beth Walters, who shared the harrowing story of their son, Austin. In the wake of their loss, the Walters have become leading voices in the fight against fentanyl poisoning, successfully advocating for the passage of “Austin’s Law.”

We are profoundly moved by the strength Gus and Beth Walters have shown. Our office stands firmly with them in the commitment to educate, prevent, and hold those who distribute this poison accountable.

District Attorney Sarah Japour was proud to represent the West Georgia Judicial Circuit at Prosecutor Day under the Gold Dome.
The District Attorneys’ Association of Georgia hosted its inaugural Prosecutor Day breakfast at the State Capitol on January 29, 2026, bringing together prosecutors and members of Georgia’s legislative delegation to discuss potential changes impacting our criminal justice system.
Thank you to Senator Matt Brass, Senator Tim Bearden, Representative Jutt Howard, Representative Tyler Paul Smith, and Representative David Huddleston for taking the time to join us and support this important conversation.
