They have petitioned Judge McAfee to consider their motions.<\/p>\n<p>In his hearing notice, Judge McAfee has requested Fulton \u200dCounty District Attorney Fani Willis to provide a &#8220;good-faith \u200bestimate&#8221; of the time it would take to present the case for all co-defendants if they were tried together.<\/p>\n<p>As per Judge McAfee&#8217;s order, Willis will also disclose an \u200cestimate of the number of witnesses and exhibits she plans \u2064to present in the case.<\/p>\n<p>This hearing replaces what was initially a busy day \u2064of arraignments. However, all defendants \u200chave now filed waivers for their arraignment appearances\u2064 and \u2064pleaded not guilty to their charges.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Willis charged all 19 defendants \u2063with racketeering violations and other felonies, alleging their involvement in illegal efforts to overturn\u200b the 2020 election results in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the\u2062 co-defendants, including former \u2062chief of staff Mark Meadows,\u200c have\u2063 filed \u2062to move their cases from state to federal court, which could offer certain advantages to their defense teams.<\/p>\n<p>If\u200b the trial were to take place in federal court, jury selection would involve a wider and potentially more\u200b conservative pool of jurors.
