The Supreme Court of Georgia refused to consider the appeal of the Fulton District Prosecutor Fani Willis about Donald Trump and others.
Quoting a “inappropriate show” created by a romantic relationship, which Willis had with a special prosecutor Nathan Wade, which she hired to lead the case, in December. The Georgian Court of Appeal ruled that Willis and her office could not continue prosecuted.
“Willis’ misconduct during the investigation and prosecution for the president was terrible and it deserved at least disqualification,” Steve Sadow, a Trump’s lawyer in Georgia, said in a statement.
Ashleigh Merchant, who revealed the romantic relationship between Willis with Wade, as a defense lawyer for a short fellow novel by Michael’s novel, said, “We hope it will finally close this section.”
Mris stated that she disagreed with the judgment, but would indicate the case file and the evidence to submit her office to the Georgian Prosecutor’s Bar Council to appoint a new prosecutor who would change it.
“I hope that the one who will be appointed to hear the case will have the courage to do what evidence and the requirement of the law,” said Willis in an email. By mail.
January Willis asked Georgia’s Supreme Court to review that decision, and the High Court on Tuesday refused 4-3 decision to make the case. One judge did not attend and one judge was disqualified.
This means that the Prosecutor’s Bar Council will have to find another prosecutor who would take the case. The council executive director Pete Sandalakis told Tuesday that he would start looking for a new prosecutor who would replace Willis, but did not know how long it could take.
The Scandalak said that the new prosecutor was appointed, he was “before him or to do it with the case”.
That person could continue the path to Willis, it was decided to investigate only some of the charges or completely dismiss the case. Depending on the complex nature and the resources needed, it can be difficult to find a prosecutor who wants to take the case.
Even if a new prosecutor wants to continue the road drawn by Willis, it seems unlikely that Trump can be prosecuted now that he is a sitting president. However, there are 14 more accused who are still confronted with accusations in the case.
The huge jury in Atlanta accused the short and another 18 other 2023. In August, using the law of the state’s fight against fraud to accuse them of involvement in a broad scheme that illegally attempted to abolish the narrow D. Trump 2020. Loss of the Presidential Election to Democrat Joe Biden Georgia. The alleged scheme included Trump’s call to Georgia’s secretary Brad Raffensperger, who urges him to help find enough votes to overcome the biden. Four people admitted guilt.
Georgia’s case was one of four criminal cases brought by 2023. Before the short. Jack Smith, a special adviser to the Department of Justice, abandoned two federal prosecutions after the Trump won in November. Election. In his Hush Money case in New York, Trump was convicted of 34 cases but received a sentence for sentence.
Willis asked Georgia’s High Court to consider whether the lower -level appellate court misconstrued her “based solely on inappropriateness and had not been established in a conflict of interest or court for misconduct.” She also asked the State Supreme Court to weigh whether the Court of Appeal was mistaken for “amendment of the court’s discretion.”
“No Georgia court has never been disqualified to a district lawyer because of the fact that the emergence of inappropriateness was not a true conflict of interest,” says Willis’ application. “And no Georgia court has never annulled the court order, refusing to disqualify the prosecutor based solely on the appearance of inappropriateness.”
Trump’s lawyers in court, in court, stated that the lower -level appellate court understood this and that Willis’ disqualification is obliged because it is the only means of cleaning up inappropriateness. “
