Well, this case isn't going anywhere in 2024, maybe ever.
But Fani may be going someplace. Certainly to disbarment, maybe dressed in orange too.
A pivotal legal battle looms over Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as the Georgia Court of Appeals is set to hear the case that could unravel her prosecution against former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants. Collectively known as “The Fulton 19,” the group was indicted on allegations of election interference and seeks to challenge Willis’s jurisdiction as well as conflict of interest, which they argue should disqualify her from the case and could potentially exonerate them.
At the core of the issue is a jurisdictional challenge brought forward by Harrison Floyd, a former Trump campaign staffer and one of the 19 defendants. Floyd’s attorney argues that the state election board has the primary jurisdiction over election-related violations, not Willis’s office. His attorney claims that Willis exceeded her authority by pursuing the indictments, and her involvement could lead to fragmented or duplicate prosecutions.
Presiding over the case, Judge Scott McAfee denied Floyd’s motion challenging Willis’s jurisdiction but approved it for immediate review by the Georgia Court of Appeals. Should the appellate court side with Floyd, Willis’s case could crumble, exposing her to civil rights lawsuits for lack of proper jurisdiction. According to Floyd’s attorney, Chris Kachouroff, if the Georgia Court of Appeals or the Georgia Supreme Court rules in Floyd’s favor, it would mean that Fani Willis indicted the defendants without proper jurisdiction. Such a decision would not only cause Willis’s entire case to collapse “like a house of cards,” but it would also strip her of legal immunity. This could expose Willis and Fulton County to multimillion-dollar civil rights lawsuits from the defendants as explained by The Federalist.
