In reply to the discussion: UPDATE: Newsflash for doubters of Fani Willis': "she cannot try all nineteen defendants in one case [View all]multigraincracker
(36,374 posts)24. I support her 100%.
I had a great lawyer and told her what had learned and quoted a few rulings. She said you read the paper and have the internet, so now you think you are a lawyer. She went on tell me what judge will say and how he would rule. She hit it perfect.
She knew that court and that judge. It will be the same with this DA, she knows this court and this judge.

Meadows may succeed in getting airlifted to Fed court; perhaps he has a giant plea deal with Smith?
