Fulton County DA Fani Willis plans to take a lead role in trying Trump case
By Daniel Klaidman

Updated on: March 29, 2024 / 6:34 PM EDT / CBS News


Two weeks after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis survived a bid by defense lawyers to have her disqualified from the Georgia election interference case, she has all but taken over the case personally, focusing intensely on legal strategy and getting her team in fighting form for trial.

In a significant move along these lines, according to a source close to her, Willis has decided to play a leading courtroom role herself in the sprawling conspiracy case against Donald Trump and 14 co-defendants.


quote:

Instead of replacing Wade with another lawyer from inside or outside the office, Willis is stepping up her own role in quarterbacking the case, CBS News has learned. She has already plunged into the nuts and bolts of trial strategy, including starting to lay out how evidence, including witnesses and documents, will be presented, a process known as "order of proof."

At the same time, she is thinking about how to communicate the stakes of a case about protecting the democratic rights of Georgians — a far more abstract concept than typical murder or gang prosecutions — to a Fulton County jury.

Moreover, according to one knowledgeable source, Willis will now be the primary point of contact for defense lawyers in any future plea negotiations, a role that Wade had previously played. "If defendants come to us and they decide that they want to resolve their case, I'm always open-minded and reasonable, and we will listen to those explanations," she told CNN last week. "Now those conversations will be with me and not Mr. Wade."

When arrogance meets incompetence on the Field of Bias you get a Fani.

If Georgia wants to ever be respected they will have her removed from office. The GA state bar is on the clock

She knows there ain’t no one else out there that would play ball with this ghetto arse case like her boy toy did. Epic fail upcoming. Her position as DA ain’t quite based on actual qualifications to be a prosecutor. Imagine her surprise when she figures out that “everyone be racist against me” is not a legal theory on which to proceed.

Why is no one mentioning the other two special prosecutors with Rico experience (that were supposedly helping Wade) no longer having contracts? Did they quit? That might explain why Fanni is getting this involved now. Not because she wants to but because she needs to.

well that's good, she's dumb as a stump as evidenced by her perjury on the stand. Good thing for her she had a judge that used to work for her yet didn't refuse himself

Unfortunately, with our crooked, politicized legal system, she doesn’t have to be competent to ultimately win.

Stupid people do stupid things and win stupid prizes. Fani is a the epitome of stupid and will, eventually, receive her prize.
I am a Trump supporter, but even the most anti Trump person SHOULD be realizing that every weapon the globalists have formed against him has failed and will fail. That is a simple, undeniable fact.

Making a bad look worse. Getting more involved after a clear demonstration of bias. For something that is a one off crime not prevalent in her district.

This is probably good for Trump. During her testimony she did not look very competent. I was shocked that someone that inarticulate could be a DA.

She's dumb as a post so that might be a good thing for Trump. Plus, probably sets up for an automatic appeal - assuming he needs one.
