McCracken Poston Biography

McCracken Poston is one of the most popular and richest Attorney who was born on October 24, 1959 in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, United States.

McCracken King Poston Jr. (also known as McCracken Poston or “Ken” Poston; born October 24, 1959), is an American criminal defense attorney, former politician and part-time juvenile court judge. He gained national attention for several notable cases which were featured on TV series specials such as CNN Presents, Dateline NBC, A&E’s American Justice and Forensic Files. Poston is a practicing defense attorney in Georgia and Tennessee. Poston was elected and served as a state representative in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1989 to 1997.

In 1984 he interned in the office of Congressman George Darden. From 1985 to 1986 and from 1988 to 1989 he was in private practice. From 1986 to 1988 he was an assistant district attorney in the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office. Poston started a solo law firm in 1989 after briefly working for the Offices of Clifton Patty, and he has served as a juvenile court judge since 1997.

Poston represented Alvin “The Zenith Man” Ridley in an eight-day trial in January 1999. Ridley’s wife, Virginia, had been found dead in their home after not being seen in public for nearly three decades. Virginia Gail Ridley (née Hickey) (April 18, 1948 – October 4, 1997) was a woman who lived with her husband on the outskirts of Ringgold, Georgia, in a dilapidated, cockroach-infested house—though, according to Ridley’s lawyer, they made an effort to keep the house clean. Virginia’s family claimed Alvin prevented all attempts by them to contact her. Eight months after her death, Ridley was arrested and later charged with murder, but claimed his epileptic wife died in her sleep. Ridley claimed the reason why no one in Ringgold knew of her condition was because of her family’s opposition to their marriage, as well as Virginia’s fear she would have a seizure in public, and therefore, she decided to live as a recluse. Ridley maintained he and Virginia were happy and he never harmed her. He shared with Poston Virginia’s journal, an evidentiary treasure trove consisting of 10,000 pages written over three decades. During the trial, Poston presented the courtroom with hundreds of notes and scraps of paper that Virginia journaled on about their reclusive life together. After the testimony of defense witness Dr. Braxton Wannamaker, an expert on seizure disorders, and the lack of a motive from the prosecution, the jury acquitted Ridley of all charges.

In 2002, Poston represented Ray Brent Marsh of the Tri-State Crematory who had been charged with two counts theft by deception for each body that was identified on his property in Noble, Georgia. 334 bodies and remains of the deceased had been discovered at the Tri-State Crematory, a family-owned business that Marsh had been managing after his father’s health failed. Marsh was cited with 787 felony counts, amounting to a possible sentence of thousands of years in prison. Poston put forth an aggressive defense for Marsh, threatening to require Walker County to conduct and pay for a costly trial that could potentially take months, and was partially successful in a change of venue effort in securing that the jury would be acquired from out of the area, which would have added great additional cost to Walker County. Poston also attacked the theories of prosecution that the state was utilizing, questioning how a human body could be the subject of a “fiduciary” relationship, and how a dead human body could be given the requisite monetary value to ascertain whether each body represented a misdemeanor or felony. The Georgia Supreme Court agreed with Poston of the need to clarify these issues and certified the questions for pre-trial appeal. After the high court ruling, Poston was able to arrange for Marsh to accept a plea deal of a 12-year sentence in prison, with eligibility for parole. The case appeared on an episode of Crossfire (‘Should government increase regulations on funeral’).

While Judge Cochran won the 2012 reelection handily during the investigation, the discovery of the pre-signed warrants started speculation that the Chief Magistrate would step down. Before this happened, however, Poston’s client was stopped in her car at night near her home by a Murray County deputy, who was almost immediately joined by his Sergeant, the judge’s cousin. When the first officer’s drug dog failed to signal the presence of any illegal drugs, the officers turned off their lapel microphones and called the embattled Chief Magistrate Judge. Just after the call, one of the officers walked directly to a certain spot and reached under the car. A magnetized tin-box was found under the woman’s car containing methamphetamine.

Poston represented Byron “Low Tax” Looper in the Cumberland County case of the murder of Tennessee State Senator Tommy Burks in 1998. Looper was the local tax assessor in neighboring Putnam County who had won his position after changing his middle name from “Anthony” to “Low Tax.” Looper was challenging the incumbent Senator Burks (D-Monterey), until Burks was found shot to death on his farm just days before the election. A write-in campaign elected the Senator’s wife, Charlotte Burks to the seat. Looper was attested to be an atrociously obnoxious and difficult client by the six previous attorneys who had attempted to represent him. When the judge lost patience from the slew of delays, Looper was finally represented through trial by Poston and Ron Cordova of California. Looper was convicted of the murder of Senator Burks in 2000, and received a life without parole sentence. Looper was found dead in his prison cell in 2013, a death that Poston has cited as “suspicious.” The case was featured on episodes of American Justice (‘Eliminating the Competition’) and Primetime Thursday (‘The Last Campaign’).

In 1988, Poston began serving as state representative from Catoosa County where remained for a tenure of eight years. During his term, Poston was a member of the Georgia House of Representatives Defense and Veterans Affairs, Education, and Judiciary committees. After four terms, Poston left the state legislature and ran for the United States Congress as the Democratic nominee in the 9th district. He was defeated in the general election by incumbent Rep. Nathan Deal.

Poston represented a number of South Asian-born defendants and revealed many problems inherent in “Operation Meth Merchant” – a joint Federal and State task force targeting South Asian owned and operated convenience stores in Northwest Georgia. An operative would attempt to purchase pseudoephedrine from the stores while uttering something that the government stated informed the clerks that the operative intended to manufacture methamphetamine with the pseudoephedrine. Poston attacked the scheme, pointing out that many of the clerks do not understand English sufficiently to ascertain what the operative was talking about. Furthermore, Poston began to attack the method of the task force in identifying the clerks, which was a scanning of license plates and acquisition of registration and drivers licenses of the owners of the cars, followed by presenting the license photos to the operative to identify the suspects.

Poston and his client worked closely with the GBI and FBI and quickly provided them a suspect who later admitted planting the methamphetamine on his client’s car. He was a tenant and handyman of Judge Cochran. Poston was joined in the effort by Chattanooga attorney Stuart James, who filed a civil suit on behalf of their client. After three years, and with an intervening second arrest of his client, all known conspirators were brought to justice in federal criminal proceedings. The civilian who planted the drugs and the two officers first on the scene who found the drugs pleaded guilty in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia for their roles in the set-up of Poston’s client. Poston had publicly stated that his client was a methamphetamine addict, which made her the more vulnerable to the set-up, and that the second arrest – although ostensibly legitimate – was a desperate attempt to again discredit his client, this time just weeks before Cochran’s trial. The subsequent arrest ultimately made his client a better witness for the government, having made her realize the issues that she had that made her vulnerable to the Judge. Former Chief Magistrate Bryant Cochran was tried in the same court in December, 2014 and found guilty of all charges. He was sentenced in 2015 to a five-year sentence.
