Shanna Shanta Shackleford
Defendant(s).

MOTION TO ENTER NOLLE PROSEQUI

NOW COMES THE STATE OF GEORGIA, by and through the District Attorney, and moves
this Honorable Court to enter, as to, nolle prosequi, for the following reason(s):

The attorneys and investigators from the District Attorney?s Of?ce have met with the

defendant?s attorneys and come to an agreement as to the bene?t both sides would receive from
an independent investigation by the defendant?s experts. This was agreed to by our of?ce since

the State?s case was based primarily on the insurance company?s analysis as to the cause of the
?re.

The State and the defendant?s attorneys John Howe, Mac Pilgrim, Stephen Bright, and Palmer
Singleton have all made multiple attempts over a twelve month period to obtain the material
necessary for these independent tests to be completed. However, as of this date, this case has
been continued for over ?ve trial calendars and we have not received said materials.

Therefore, the State is electing not to proceed with charges against the above-named defendant at this
time.
This 5th day of September, 2012.
