A Georgia appellate court Thursday disqualified Fulton County District
Attorney Fani Willis and removed her from prosecuting Donald Trump and
co-defendants in a case she brought over his efforts to overturn the
2020 election.

The decision is likely to cripple the case and bring a halt to the
efforts to try Trump and his allies for their efforts to overturn his
loss. Federal prosecutors have already dropped Trump's federal
criminal case related to the 2020 election in the wake of his winning
the presidency.

"After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order,
we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her
office," the court said, referring to an earlier ruling that allowed
Willis to remain on the case. Willis had been under scrutiny over her
relationship with a special prosecutor on the case, Nathan Wade. Trump
and other co-defendants had requested to have Willis removed from the
case.

In a statement, Trump attorney Steve Sadow praised the Court of
Appeals' "well-reasoned and just decision" and said that it "puts an
end to a politically motivated persecution of the next President of
the United States."

I see. So the appellate overruled the trial judge...

...but they can't themselves have their decision overturned?

Do you seriously think they would be successful?
It's over. Make peace with it.

I don't know.

I'm just pointing out a logical inconsistency with your argument.

I made the post in full knowledge that is extremely unlikely that an
appeals court would take this up. No inconsistancy exhibited.

An appeals court DID take it up.

What makes it less likely that it would be taken up again?

Laughter.
Please do hold your breath until this dead case gets taken up by the
next Georgia court.

'One of the three judges, Benjamin Land, dissented.

"For at least the last 43 years, our appellate courts have held that an
appearance of impropriety, without an actual conflict of interest or
actual impropriety, provides no basis for the reversal of a trial
court’s denial of a motion to disqualify," Land wrote.

He added, "Where, as here, a prosecutor has no actual conflict of
interest and the trial court, based on the evidence presented to it,
rejects the allegations of actual impropriety, we have no authority to
reverse the trial court’s denial of a motion to disqualify. None."'
