Fulton DA #FaniWillis asks the Georgia Supreme Court to put her back on her RICO case against @realDonaldTrump and the other defendants
The GA Supreme Court does NOT have to take her appeal
She's asking the court to hear her appeal on a discretionary basis
Questions Presented:
Did the Court of Appeals err in disqualifying a district attorney, divesting her of her constitutional authority to investigate and prosecute crimes, based solely upon an appearance of impropriety and absent a finding of an actual conflict of interest or forensic misconduct?
She says the Court of Appeals got it wrong by making new precedent, as opposed to following established precedent
(Note: In fact, the Court of Appeals got it right)
Assuming arguendo that an actual conflict of interest or actual impropriety is not required to authorize disqualification, did the Court of Appeals err in substituting the trial court’s discretion with its own and becoming the first Georgia court to reverse a trial court’s order declining to disqualify a district attorney based solely upon an appearance of impropriety
The Georgia Court of Appeals has disqualified Fulton DA #FaniWillis from the RICO case against @realDonaldTrump
🚨🚨
"we reverse the trial court’s denial of the appellants’ motion to disqualify DA Willis and her office. As we conclude that the elected district attorney is wholly disqualified from this case, “the assistant district attorneys — whose only power to prosecute a case is derived from the constitutional authority of the district attorney who appointed them — have no authority to proceed"
