Jonathan Turley: “This case (Fani Willis) is dissembling in front of our eyes…”
Video transcript1:10
What do you think will happen in this case as it relates to her and what should happen in your view? Well, this case is disassembling in front of our eyes. This was a very basic error. This is a major case, but these prosecutors didn't put together the most basic narrative or facts that have to support these counts. The question is, what did the grand jury know? If it wasn't in the indictment, how did they vote out these crimes? What were they told as the basis? Because the judge just said, "You're not even telling the defendant what he needs to know to defend himself. I don't know what facts you're alleging here." Now, they could go back to the grand jury and get a superseding indictment, but that's going to take time. It's going to take time off the clock, and they might have a problem doing what is obviously their overriding purpose here, which is to try Donald Trump before the election. They could just go without these counts. The judge said, "I'll let you refer to the underlying conduct. I just won't let you use them as standalone crimes for these particular counts unless you go back to the grand jury."
