(82,849 posts)I understand Willis has pursued these kinds of multiple defendant state RICO cases before, and has gotten very satisfactory results (i.e., convictions of the defendants). As obstreperous as this crop of defendants is, I'm confident that Willis will do well by the State of Georgia in bringing the law-breakers to justice.

(12,412 posts)DOES WILLIS HAVE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH RICO CASES?
"When she was an assistant district attorney in the Fulton County district attorneys office, Willis was a lead prosecutor in a RICO case against a group of Atlanta public school educators in a cheating scandal. After a monthslong trial, a jury in April 2015 convicted 11 former educators of racketeering for their roles in a scheme to inflate students scores on standardized exams.
"Since becoming district attorney in January 2021, she has brought several RICO indictments against alleged gang members, including sofile rap artists.
"Lawyer John Floyd, a nationally known RICO expert in Atlanta, helped Willis with the school cheating case. Soon after opening the investigation into potential illegal meddling in the 2020 election in Georgia, she engaged him to serve as a special assistant district attorney to help with any racketeering cases her office might pursue.
