But it is dead for this election


Why?

(I think this case is trash and I hope it does not go forward, just an fyi)

The case was set to go with Wade as prosecutor for roughly Super Tuesday.

If Wade and Willis get tossed, which is very likely, it gets reassigned to another prosecutor. Given that the prosecutor is likely outside of the Fulton County DA office, they would have to be chosen and get up to speed.


A hot potato case like this likely can’t be winged by a prosecutor being parachuted in to take over, which means a delay to familiarize themselves.


Given how busy most court dockets are, this likely kicks it past November.

3 reasons...

A) GA is still a mostly red state outside of Atlanta... so the next DA to get the case... or even the state AG... will be a lot less likely to want to continue this case

B) time is running short to get this to trial prior to the election... putting a new prosecutor on the case now all but definitely puts it beyond November since the new prosecutor would have to get up to speed on a case involving 19 co-defendants

C) appeals on this motion's result... no matter which way the judge rules... will keep kicking the can down the road... possibly putting the trial date past November on its own
