Problems Plague Georgia Case from Jury Seating to Obtaining a Courtroom for the Mammoth Trial
Prosecutors in Atlanta are facing numerous challenges as they prepare to try 19 defendants, including former President Donald Trump, in a sprawling racketeering case. One major challenge is finding impartial jurors who don’t have strong opinions about Trump and his associates. Additionally, the large number of defendants presents logistical difficulties, such as ensuring a courtroom spacious enough to accommodate everyone. Defense lawyers may seek to disentangle their clients from more culpable defendants, and some defendants may attempt to be tried separately from Trump. The trial is expected to be lengthy and complex, with extensive legal arguments and witness cross-examination. The physical logistics of having so many people in the courtroom pose additional challenges. The prosecutors have until August 25 for the defendants to surrender, and the trial is expected to commence in the coming weeks.
