7 days before the election and potential plea deals are going to happen after not allowing these defendants to see the light of day for 3 years!! So why now? I have one guess: November 5th. Now, I don’t have any idea if any pleas are coming but let’s put things in perspective: These defendants are in jail in conditions worse than most third world countries jails, we have seen the first judge get away with completely ignoring the law without any actual consequence, we have seen a lawyer locked up for doing his job, we have seen repeated violations of basic concepts of fairness and due process at the hands of the prosecution. If those same prosecutors say “we will let you walk free today, or else you can stay in jail without bond and we will continue to trample your rights without any immediate recourse”, who would be able to walk away from that?
This is how our criminal “justice system” functions. #ysltrial #FultonCounty @ThuggerDaily #firefani
