As soon as allegations of an inappropriate romantic relationship between Willis and attorney Nathan Wade surfaced last month, speculation about the future of the case began to swirl. Even if the prosecution isn’t derailed, the upheaval has certainly created an unwanted distraction for Willis and her team and could undermine public confidence in the validity of the case.
The defense attorney who first exposed the relationship says it creates a conflict of interest and is asking the judge to toss out the indictment and to prohibit Willis, Wade and their offices from further involvement in the case. In a response filed earlier this month, Willis acknowledged a “personal relationship” but said it has no bearing on the serious criminal charges she’s pursuing and asked the judge to dismiss the motions seeking her disqualification without a hearing.
The law says “disqualification can occur if evidence is produced demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one,” Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said during a hearing Monday. Because he believes “it’s possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in a disqualification, I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations.”
I think that Trump should be thrown off the ballot due to his malfeasance and inciting of insurrection. However, I am thoroughly disappointed with Fani Willis. I have zero standing whatsoever in any court of law and my opinion is just that, my opinion. My opinion is that she should not be a part of this case anymore, and a new prosecutor should be appointed in her stead. As the judge stated, even the appearance of a conflict can sway a jury. I don’t want Trump to be tossed on his ass to only appeal later, I want that MFer to sit and spin on the real consequences of his actions.
I think Trump should be thrown off one of his towers.
it’s the inevitable fate for all of Putin’s stooges that fail to deliver.
Take a second and explain what you think the supposed conflict is. What are the two conflicting interests and how would they result in a miscarriage of justice that would harm the defendant?
What is the conflict?
She had an affair with someone on the same side of the case she’s on. In what way is this a problem?
with her subordinate. How does this not reek of impropriety? reverse the genders and I’m sure you’ll have no problem understanding why it’s wrong.
He was her boyfriend before he was hired … so not quite a subordinate.
then it’s just favoritism. Public officials can’t be out giving contracts to their lovers. If they had a relationship prior to hiring, then they should have come forward with that at that time.
My summary of your argument: “It’s this. If it wasn’t this, then it’s that. if it wasn’t that, then it’s yon. If it wasn’t yon…”
Nothing to do with trumps case. Should all her cases be thrown out? Lol
Contractor, not employee.
I forgot to mention his inability to tell the truth.
So which web page did you copy pasta that from?
