Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said full speed ahead on Wednesday to an October trial for two key defendants in Fani Willis’ election conspiracy case.
Ken Chesebro and Sidney Powell will go to trial alongside one another with jury selection scheduled to begin on Oct. 23. Both had asked to be separated from the other; a request which McAfee denied.
Willis’ prosecutors still want the remaining 17 defendants – including Trump – to start trial alongside the pair. McAfee said he was “skeptical” of that request for a mixture of reasons, many of them logistical, but ordered more briefing on the question.
That question will likely be resolved in the coming weeks. Until then, expect an early trial for Chesebro and Powell.
Prosecutors said during the hearing that they anticipated calling 150 witnesses in the course of a trial, and that they expected it to take four months, not including jury selection.
Your headline is priceless. Hat-tip to you, TPM.
So, McAffee may opt to… cut the Cheese.
Cheese and Kraken LOL
I thought Cheese got shot by Slim Charles.
Who writes these headlines! Hat tip to YOU! Maybe a little esoteric but not lost at all on our regular readers.
