GA Trump Case At Appeals Court After Novmber Election

A Georgia Appeals Court has set December 5th, 2024, Hearing for Arguments, on the Appeal of a Lower Court Ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D), to continue to Prosecute the Election Interference Case against Trump.

That timing means the Lower Court proceedings against Trump, which are On-Hold while the Appeal is Pending, will Not resume before the November General Election, when Trump will be the Republican Nominee for President.

The Appeal is to be decided by a Three-Judge Panel of the Intermediate Appeals Court, which will then have until Mid-March, 2025, to Rule. The Judges assigned to the Case are: Trenton Brown, Todd Markle, and Benjamin Land.

Once the Panel Rules, the Losing side could ask the Georgia Supreme Court to consider an Appeal.

A Fulton County Grand Jury last August, indicted Trump and 18 others, accusing them participating in a sprawling Scheme to Illegally try to Overturn the 2020 Presidential Election in Georgia.

Four Defendants have pleaded Guilty, after reaching Deals with Prosecutors, but Trump and the others have pleaded Not Guilty.

They argue that a Romantic Relationship Willis had with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade created a Conflict-of-Interest. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee in March, found that No Conflict of Interest existed, that should Force Willis Off the Case, but He granted a Request from Trump and the other Defendants to seek an Appeal of His Ruling from the Court of Appeals.

McAfee wrote that “reasonable questions” over whether Willis and Wade had Testified Truthfully about the timing of their Relationship “further underpin the finding of an appearance of impropriety and the need to make proportional efforts to cure it.” He allowed Willis to remain on the Case only if Wade Left, and the Special Prosecutor submitted His Resignation hours later.

The Allegations that Willis had Improperly Benefited from Her Romance with Wade, resulted in a tumultuous couple of months in the Case, as intimate details of Willis and Wade’s Personal Lives were aired in court in Mid-February.
