Bad News For Sidney Powell And Kenneth Chesebro. They Go To Trial Next Week

Two cases associated with the Georgia RICO indictments of 19 people in Fulton County Georgia will be going to trial very soon. Two of the defendants, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, demanded quick trial under Georgia’s Speedy Trial law. Once the defendant timely demands that Georgia law sets strict time limits for the trial to occur. Jury selection in their trial starts on Friday.

It should be noted that they are charged with very different aspects of the case. Powell’s charges relate to her role in a conspiracy to break into Coffee County Georgia voting machines and illegally download data from them. Chesebro is charged for his roll in putting together fake electors, forging fake electoral college certificates, and presenting them to Congress as authentic.

Both Powell and Chesebro submitted motions to dismiss their charges to the judge. Today the judge denied those motions. You can read the judge’s decision doing so HERE.

Thus the case will proceed to trial. The motions to dismiss required the defendants to show that the indictment against them was procedurally defective. That even assuming all facts alleged by the indictment are true that the indictment still fails to articulate a crime.
