Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America, and Fannie Willis could find
0:05
herself in front of the Supreme Court. That's right, the Supreme Court. Before we get started
0:12
please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe. Those little things really help us
0:16
out, and they help our channel continue to grow. So, Ashley Merchant, the attorney for Michael
0:23
Roman, she appeared on CNN on Thursday night, and she described what the appeals process is going
0:29
to be like in getting Fannie Willis removed. Now, she said the appellate court itself could take
0:35
about six months, but they also reserve the right to take this to the Supreme Court. That's right
0:42
the Supreme Court. And I think there, you know, Trump's going to get a favorable outcome. So
0:48
this is actually huge news. They are now threatening the Supreme Court against Fannie Willis
0:53
and I don't know if Fannie Willis and her case can sustain that. The case is on thin ice as it is
0:57
and so is she. Going before the Supreme Court, I think that's a disaster waiting to happen for her

I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you. Take care, everybody
1:14
Evidence is just too much to corral in such a short amount of time. Would you like to see it start this summer
1:20
I would love to see it start. I'm not sure that we'll be ready this summer
1:24
and part of the reason that we're having trouble getting ready is because the district attorney is
1:28
still giving us discovery. So, if they had been able to give us all of the discovery as soon as
1:33
they indicted the case, we could have hit the ground running. We had to wait. We've gotten it
1:36
in six different terms. And so, we continue to get more discovery, and as we get more discovery
1:41
more witnesses, we have to go through that and see if there's anything relevant and prepare that
1:45
for our case. And so, that's the problem with getting ready as discovery is still ongoing
1:50
You know, for Donald Trump, it's always seemed pretty clear that one of his goals in all of the
1:54
legal cases against him, one of his goals is to delay and delay as much as possible
2:00
How much of a goal is that for you and your client? And we're in a different posture. You know, I think everybody in this case is in a little bit
2:07
different position. Our goal has never been to delay the case. Our goal has been to get a fair
2:12
trial. And I think nobody wants to try a case twice. And so, we want to make sure that when
2:17
we try the case, it is a fair trial. It is a just result. And hopefully, my client and the
2:21
community gets justice. And the only way to do that is to make sure that it's a fair process
2:26
that we have an impartial prosecutor on the case. And so, that's our overwhelming goal
2:30
whether it takes a short amount of time or a long amount of time. As you well know, Judge McAfee, who you've been dealing with a lot
2:36
granted requests from Donald Trump and his co-defendants, one of whom you were representing
2:41
to appeal the decision to allow the district attorney to continue to prosecute the case
2:45
The move doesn't pause the prosecution for now, but it allows the appeals on the disqualification
2:50
to play out before the trial. How long do you think that process will take
2:55
Usually, the appellate process takes about six months. So, the first stage is whether or not
3:00
the Court of Appeals is actually going to take it. That's about 45 days. If they decide they're
3:04
going to take it, it takes about six months. But if they don't take it, then we still have the
3:08
right to go to the Supreme Court. So, that could also add some time in that front end. But usually
3:13
the appellate process is resolved in about six months. Let's talk about jury selection, if this case does happen to begin as..
