Governor Brian Kemp signed two significant tort reform bills into law Monday, capping off a legislative session that saw vigorous debate over the future of Georgia’s civil litigation system.

Mahendra “Mick” Patel, a 56-year-old Kennesaw man, is being held without bond in the Cobb County Jail after being indicted following an incident at a local Walmart.
