@Teri_Kanefield@thelmadonna@cherold: First, why can't the trial happen in October if the judge accepts the prosecutor's schedule in response to the request for a speedy trial from one of the accused? Isn't the GA speedy trial law even faster than federal law which I thought was something like starting within 70 days of indictment which would put it in 2023 at least? If not October, then certainly by early December at the latest. Yes, there are holiday breaks, but that doesn't mean that some progress can't be made.
Second, it seems like this motion is really trying to push the co-defendants to turn on one another even more than they already have. It seems reasonable that there would be far less than 19 co-defendants by the time the trial starts assuming some (maybe most) of them fully cooperate with the prosecution and flip for favorable deals.
