The Georgia Supreme Court issued 10 opinions Monday, five of which reversed lower court decisions, representing victories for a man classified by the state as a dangerous sexual predator, two convicted murderers, one insurance company and a convenience store gaming operator.

The convicted sex offender won the right to a hearing challenging his life sentence of wearing an ankle monitor and other restrictions. In a 30-page unanimous opinion, Justice Keith Blackwell said a man’s constitutional right to due process was violated by the denial of a hearing for him to present evidence challenging the restrictions placed on him by the highest level of threat assessment by the Sexual Offender Registration Review Board. Blackwell said due process could be satisfied by either a judicial or an administrative hearing. But Scott Gregory was denied a hearing by both the board and the Fulton County Superior Court.
