BREAKING: Georgia Election Case Against Trump, Allies Sees 10 Indictments.
Grand Jury Returns 10 Indictments in Criminal Investigation into Trump’s Alleged Election Interference
A Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury made a significant move on Monday night, returning 10 indictments in the criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is believed to have pursued charging individuals under Georgia’s RICO Act, which allows prosecutors to “string together crimes committed by different people toward one common goal,” as reported by Axios. This strategy poses a challenge for defense attorneys, as it makes it difficult to implement a “coherent trial strategy.”
The report also highlights that the lengthy prison sentences associated with RICO violations serve as a major incentive for co-defendants to seek deals in exchange for new evidence.
It is worth noting that in Georgia, the governor does not possess the power to pardon convicts. Instead, that authority rests with a Board of Pardons and Paroles, which requires a sentence to be completed at least five years prior to applying for a pardon. Therefore, even a U.S. president would not be able to pardon Trump in this case.
Furthermore, the case has the potential to be broadcast on television, allowing the public to witness all the evidence being presented.
