BREAKING NEWS: Judge Scott McAfee has GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART the motion to disqualify Fulton County DA Fani Willis.
Bottom line: either Willis steps aside, along with her entire office OR Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade withdraws. A decision must be made, per McAfee.
The Court found that there was NO evidence of an actual conflict of interest. However, he did find that the "prosecution is encumbered by an appearance of impropriety." And "as long as Wade remains on the case, this unnecessary perception will persist."
The Court "finds itself unable to place any stock" in the testimony of Terrence Bradley. McAfee also said Robin Yeartie's testimony "lacked context and detail." And he considered the Wade cellphone info but said it didn't say conclusively when the relationship started.
The Court also denied the motions to dismiss the indictment.
The Court ruled that there was "no material financial benefit" derived by Willis in hiring and engaging in a personal relationship with Wade.
Here is the Order:
