In the high-stakes criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia, the defendant isn’t the only one campaigning.
In an election year oddity, both the prosecutor, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, and the judge presiding over the case, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, are fighting to keep their seats. “They probably a little nervous,” Willis said with a nod to her team as she took the stage at a recent Democratic Party awards dinner. “They write all these speeches and then I say what I wanna say.
But Wise Smith – who has campaigned on breaking the “school-to-prison pipeline” and tapping more community resources to drive down crime – has also raised concerns about the resources devoted to sprawling, high-profile cases, such as the election interference case. “Would I drop the case? Let me say this, I think the case is in grave jeopardy right now,” Wise Smith said of the Trump case.
