State lawmakers have filed two bills that would affect the work of Georgia prosecutors, requiring them to pursue certain cases and making it easier to remove DA’s from office.

Some prosecutors, like Western Circuit District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez, say that the measures are an attack on their offices.

Alexia Ridley sat down with Gonzalez to talk about the two bills.
