Actually, I’m wondering if Chesebro will beat him to it. It’s pretty clear that Chesebro is desperate to avoid prison–first, the extremely quick request for a speedy trial, then his failed bid to avoid being linked with Powell. Whoever flips first will probably get the sweetest deal from Willis. It’s obvious this decision will raise Meadows’ stress level. As reluctant as Chesebro is to admit guilt, he’s got to be worrying about what happens if someone else flips first, and given the number of co-defendants, it’s pretty likely that at least some of them will try to.
If she moved the trial back now, the Fulton county case would slot it right after the DC prosecution because Fani Willis wants to go to trial ASAP. I’m curious to see what sort of trial date she gets… she might even try for something before March on the off chance the DC trial gets delayed by interlocutory appeals.
