“Given the complexity of the legal issues at hand
— ranging from constitutional questions and the
Supremacy Clause to immunity, jurisdiction, venue,
speedy-trial concerns, and access to federal records
— and even assuming each of these issues were
resolved in the State’s favor, bringing this case before
a jury in 2029, 2030, or even 2031 would be nothing
short of a remarkable feat.”; -Georgia Special Prosecutor Peter Skandalakis
making it clear the election interference RICO
case against the Trump Syndicate was dropped
due to logistical issues rather than lack of
criminal acts committed. Now, I know... mainstream talking heads
are wringin' their hands and worryin' he'll
skate if he just makes it through the next
6 months... But here's the fun part 'bout Georgia's statute of limitations:; Georgia Code Title 17. Criminal Procedure § 17-3-2
The period within which a prosecution must be
commenced under Code Section 17-3-1 or other
applicable statute does not include any period
in which:
(1) The accused is not usually and publicly a resident
within this state;
(2) The person committing the crime is unknown or the
crime is unknown;
(3) The accused is a government officer or employee
and the crime charged is theft by conversion of public
property while such an officer or employee; or
(4) The accused is a guardian or trustee and the crime
charged is theft by conversion of property of the ward
or beneficiary. Can't be an accused non-resident and unknown
at the same time, meaning meetin' any of those
conditionals tolls
the clock... ...so ain't none of 'em outta the woods.
