UPDATE: Newsflash for doubters of Fani Willis': "she cannot try all nineteen defendants in one case"

This is not her first rodeo…

First, the clerk of the court leaked the indictment not DA Willis’ office. The leaked indictment was posted on the court’s website not the website of the DA.

Second, in the Atlanta School’s cheating case her office indicted 35 defendants or almost double those indicted in TFG’s alleged criminal enterprise. Those saying its “aggressive” — yeah, she’s a prosecutor. I notice that Jack Smith skills and strategy were not questioned but immediately accepted as “smart,” yada, yada, yada. DA Willis has earned that same respect.

In the cheating teacher case, all 35 educators were indicted for RICO and other offenses. Of those, 21 pleaded guilty, two died before trial and 11 of the 12 who went to trial were convicted. Please also remember that this criminal enterprise happened in public view. My guess is the Georgia telephone call alone by TFG satisfies all the elements of the Georgia RICO statute.

However DA Willis decides to try this case whether in a single trial or in multiple trials the media who has never tried a RICO case under Georgia’s RICO statute need to provide her the same respect provided to Special Counsel Jack Smith and stop second guessing her trial strategy...talking to you MSNBC.

SHE GOT THIS!!!!!


UPDATEx2: First, I’m glad this resonated with folks. Second, for those attempting to explain that the pundits are correct because 19 defense attorneys, voir dire, jury selection, logistics and so on and so forth I remind you that DA Willis has successfully tried 11 RICO cases under Georgia’s RICO statute just as the DA. She tried more of such cases as an assistant DA. As such, DA Willis is in fact an expert at successfully prosecuting these cases under the Georgia RICO statute so why assume that she has not thought about and prepared for any complicated logistics for the most important case of her career? Further, why assume that she was not aware that some of the Defendants will plead out when she made the statement about it being tried as a single case when that is exactly what happened in the school cheating case referenced. This conversation happened immediately after the DA’s press conference when the pundits had received the indictment a mere hour before. To make such declarative statements about DA Willis’ case and trial strategy as if all of them know her case better than she does I found offensive. I am also quite certain that those same pundits as lawyers would also find it offensive if it were done to them in one of their cases.

The pundits also claimed that the 167 acts identified was “overkill????” This is one of the most important cases in this Nation’s history there is no such thing as “overkill.” Add to that that the case is being litigated in the South and will likely include TFG’s supporters on the jury...I would have included 500 acts if the law and facts supported that number.
