Ann Marie Fitz (born April 5, 1977) is an American criminal defense attorney who has appeared as a legal analyst on cable news programs.
She graduated from George Walton Comprehensive High School in 1995 and received her bachelor's degree from Furman University in 1999, where she double-majored in English and Communications.
In addition to her private practice she served for 7 years as a Panel Attorney under the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) in conjunction with the Federal Defender's Office in Atlanta and Los Angeles.
On March 15, 2010, the Georgia Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the law in a 5-2 decision, based on a United States Department of Justice report finding that 46% of all kidnapping and false imprisonment of minor cases involve some type of sexual offense; however, the dissenting jurists noted that as registration limits where offenders may live, work and congregate, it "is not a requirement that should be imposed cavalierly", and a statutory scheme that has an "error rate of over 50% is clearly not rational".
