Fani Willis rival scores win in Georgia Supreme Court
- Ashleigh Merchant successfully defends rapper Young Thug's attorney in court.
- The rival of Fani Willis secures a significant win in Georgia Supreme Court.
- Ashleigh Merchant stands up for Brian Steel in the YSL RICO trial.
Ashleigh Merchant saves rapper Young Thug's attorney, Brian Steel, from jail during his contempt appeal process in the YSL RICO trial. Former Donald Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade denies his affair with Fulton County DA delayed the Georgia trial against Trump, calling it 'bad timing.' Wade resigned after his relationship with Willis was revealed during his divorce proceedings, allowing Willis to continue overseeing the prosecution. Trump has pushed to disqualify Willis from the case, leading to a Georgia Supreme Court hearing in October. Wade clarified that anyone convicted in Georgia would go through the sentencing process, but there are concerns about a sitting president being sent to jail due to potential conflicts with the Secret Service. Attorney Ashleigh Merchant expressed support for Steel, emphasizing that he was just doing his job.
