re: Judge Scott McAfee is ruling on Fani Willis disqualification tomorrow

All our lives we are told that the standard is "even the appearance of impropriety". They've been teaching this in law schools for as long as I've been alive

I'm not sure which law schools have been teaching that. Avoiding the "appearance of impropriety" comes from the code of JUDICIAL conduct, not the rules of legal ethics.

Lawyers have to avoid conflicts of interest, but are not tied to the same standard of avoiding the appearance of impropriety.

If I want to get opposing counsel removed from a case, I have to prove a direct conflict of interest (and I've been successful doing that a couple of times).

While it would make sense for prosecutors to be held to a higher standard in the interest of maintaining public trust, Georgia has no special rules for prosecutors.

Wade should be fired, and possibly prosecuted himself. Willis should be turned over to the State Ethics Commission, the new Prosecution Review Board, and possibly the State Bar.

But she and Wade cannot be removed from the case without showing a direct conflict of interest, and I'm just not sure a financial gain creates that conflict...otherwise a DA would never be able to hire a special prosecutor.

All you had to do was watch the trial.

It was clear Willis, Wade, and others perjured themselves. It was clear the affair started prior to Wade’s hiring, probably in 2019.

Both should be criminally prosecuted. Both should be referred to the bar for disbarment.

Until low life scum like these people suffer real consequences for their actions, it will continue and our “justice “ system will never be seen as fair and objective.

What is the projected outcome?

Dersh thinks McAfee has every reason under the sun to kick Fani off the case and recommend her for criminal charges.

Dersh is predicting McCafee keeps her on the case.

Decision in

Fani stays. Wade goes per fox news

Fukn nasty count. I was hoping to see her eat shite for perjury.


Edit: I see td edits the word c u n t

Amazing you can lie in court documents and not be held accountable.

Most of them are. Too much money and power at stake in their corrupt shell game.

That would be in a different proceeding later. The only impact this had in the subject matter was hurting her credibility for her testimony. Any potential issues relating to perjury, ethical violations, etc. would bein their own proceeding down the road.

And a this begs a question... if there was enough evidence to disqualify one of the two, why not both?

Obviously they were both equally guilty of lying and conflict of interest.
