BARROW COUNTY, Ga. — The judge overseeing the Apalachee High School shooting case has recused himself.
Judge Currie Mingledorff filed the recusal on Wednesday, according to court records from the Barrow County Superior Court.
Records show Mingledorff decided to take himself off the case due to his retirement. The order also stated that his successor is an assistant district attorney in the Piedmont Judicial Circuit.
It's currently unclear who will take over the case as the new judge.
The new development comes after the alleged Apalachee High shooter, Colt Gray, entered a plea of not guilty and waived his arraignment hearing. Colt Gray currently faces 55 charges, including malice and felony murder.
His father, Colin Gray, is accused of knowingly allowing his son to possess a weapon, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Colin Gray is facing a total of 29 charges.
In a preliminary hearing last week, a judge determined there was enough probable cause for the case against Colin Gray to proceed.
In that hearing, Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents testified that Colt's mother, Marcee Gray, said to them her son had a "fascination with school shooters and school shootings" and that he had access to guns at home.
