Whether they would have information regarding Willis' strategy would not impact the evidence and the witness testimony. That doesn't change, whether or not a motion to sever or a motion for a speedy trial is filed.
I just think that he thought that somehow Fani Willis hadn't already begun her trial preparation (which is a lot in criminal and civil trials for trial attorneys), and made a pretty stupid miscalculation, considering that her office has all of the evidence already and has poured through it and developed their trial strategy already.
I think that considering that this is a RICO case, if a motion to sever is filed by any of the other defendants, it will only be granted in the event that the other defense lawyers (being smart) choose to file motions asserting that the other defendants' Constitutional rights will somehow be adversely impacted by not having adequate time to pour through discovery and actually develop the best defense possible for their clients (taking advantage of filing motions and scheduling pre-trial hearings to exclude certain evidence, etc.). On the other hand, the judge may deny the motion to sever, considering that having the same evidence introduced multiple times in multiple trials would not be that efficient (as it relates to the fair administration of justice). We'll just have to wait and see.
