Fulton County DA Fudges Case Law in the Trump RICO prosecution

AUG 31, 2023

The RICO prosecution against Trump and others was always seen as the weakest case, even by Never Trump lawyers. When the indictment hit, I saw many of them wince. They knew the case was going to backfire. Today shows why.

Speedy Trials.

Numerous defendants have demanded what’s known as their right to a speedy trial. Judges in DC in the January 6th cases have suspended this right, except to use it to force Trump to a face trial sooner than he can prepare for. Hence why a lot of people are confused about this important constitutional right.

Every criminal defense lawyer will tell you that, “Delays inure to the benefit of a defendant.” By the time a prosecutor indicts someone, the case is ready for trial. Prosecutors have all of the evidence. They have every advantage.

Defendants are the ones who want to take as much time as humanly possible to review the files and think about each and every angle of the case. Holding all of the cards, prosecutors want to rush cases to trial.

Some of this may be “inside baseball,” and it’s important.

Under Georgia law, criminal defendants have a strict and strong right to get the case to trial in a timely manner. There’s no indication that judges will ignore this right, as they are doing in J6 cases in DC.
