170 day trial…. Not guilty and then 2 years probation! If you can’t prove your case after 170 days maybe you never should have brought this overcharged made up case?? The state should be ashamed and give everyone back the stuff they stole from them through seizure! Biggest

Our justice system at work. I wish this wasn’t the norm. Admit what the state wants the truth to be and you can go home, tell the state they got it wrong and you gotta sit in jail.

STATE WAS READY TO LET THUG GO HOME TODAY IF HE TESTIFIED TO BEING A GANG LEADER AND THAT HIS MUSIC ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO COMMIT VIOLENCE HE WAS SICK OF ALL THE CONDITIONS AND WALKED AWAY FROM THE DEAL. SUDDENLY, THEY ARE RECOMMENDING 25 YEARS INSTEAD.

Wait, what? #faniwillis wants the public to fund her legal fees to sue the county commissioners for daring to check her budget after she refused to be subject to an audit and told the county that she didn’t have to answer to them as a constitutional officer? She seriously refuses

Disgraceful Georgian DA Fani Willis, who hired her lover to prosecute Trump and funneled over $650,000 in taxpayer money to him, is now asking for donations to fund her security.

This is a professional police officer! This is our justice system? I hope they require some retraining that includes reading the constitution and learning about due process and the right to a fair trial.

Listening to the livestream arguments in the case where #FaniWillis has her attorney, Roy Barnes, actually arguing that the Georgia Senate only subpoenaed her because she had an affair? Ummm, no, I would choose “DAs who had an affair and paid their lover a million dollars out of

Perhaps #FaniWillis should have been more careful with the taxpayer funds given to her in the past?? Or maybe she should have permitted the audit of her office? Or maybe not told the #fultoncounty BOC that they give her a budget and she can spend it however she sees fit?

Can’t wait to see what is turned over. My guess- nothing. I have learned that the tactic for #FaniWillis is always to deny and defend and hope people will stop asking.
