Layperson/I thought *nineteen* defendants was over the top for a mass trial

We've learned a lot - THANKS, Drumpf. Legal pundits taught us that multi-defendant trials are not unusual. But besides her knowing this, D.A. Fani WILLIS also probably knew from the get-go that they would be dropping like flies, such that it just might end up with only one or two at the trial Defendant table. But Drumpf can take his thrill for having all of the attention to himself.

The first 2 got easy deals. Ellis's deal sounds lenient too. But that's not going to last. They're not going to need much more testimony from criminal lawyers, I mean lawyer criminals, so probably soon Ms. Willis will be saying they need to serve time along with pleading guilty and testifying.

Knocking them off one by one....
I think very likely those two women -- the extraneous hanger-ons-- will go next begging for a plea deal. I mean the one who threatened Ladies Ruby and Shay, and the election official, can't remember their names, because they really are just miserable little minions to Trump.

on the ringleaders?

At least that's my impression from posts on DU. You arrest anyone with even suspect relations to those in charge and toss them in a pot and see who sings.

I'll find it awfully ironic that TFG goes to jail for a law written to punish POC.
