There is no shortage of logistical challenges raised by the sprawling racketeering indictment returned this week by a grand jury in Atlanta.
Several of the defendants on Tuesday accused Willis of playing politics with the indictment.and the Fulton County D.A. are criminalizing the practice of law,” one of the defendants, lawyer Jenna Ellis, wrote Tuesday on Facebook. “I am resolved to trust the Lord and I will simply continue to honor, praise, and serve Him. I deeply appreciate all of my friends who have reached out offering encouragement and support.
Some delays have been specific to that trial — transporting defendants housed in different jails to court each day, bringing contraband to court, the arrest of a defense attorney and a courtroom deputy. But jury selection, which began in January, is still going. That’s partially because the trial is expected to last six to nine months, meaning a lot of prospective jurors have legitimate excuses for saying no.
Though Fulton County prosecutors have painted the 19 defendants as jointly engaged in a criminal conspiracy, there’s no question that those charged don’t see themselves as a unified team. In the years since Trump and his allies sought to overturn the election results, some Trump associates have sought to disavow their past connections.
