it doesn't say anything good about her judgment that she had an affair with an underling, without a care as to what kind of impact the news of their affair would have on her highest-of-high profile cases.

Your user name is perfect for this post! 50 Shades Of Blue Feb 2024 #2

she's only human... anyway, it really shouldn't matter except for the distraciton factor LymphocyteLover Feb 2024 #4

She may be only human but she's also in a very highly scrutinized position, and IMO 50 Shades Of Blue Feb 2024 #6

Do you really think she did it "without a care"? SunSeeker Feb 2024 #23

These situations are far more common than a lot of us admit. I've spooky3 Feb 2024 #28

Yup! SunSeeker Feb 2024 #42

Even worse if she gave it a lot of thought and did it anyway, risking blowing up the case. 50 Shades Of Blue Feb 2024 #47

How is she risking "blowing up the case"? This is not a basis for dismissing the case. SunSeeker Feb 2024 #53

Her successful record in bringing, trying and winning cases says everything about her judgement to me happy feet Feb 2024 #43

Okay, except you left out the defense attorneys conflict of interest Ponietz Feb 2024 #8

Because it's fucking irrelevant. "They did it too!" Is no justification in my book. 50 Shades Of Blue Feb 2024 #10

Duty to the client is ALL that's relevant here Ponietz Feb 2024 #11

Well, I guess you just told me! Yeah, I'm way less perturbed by the F-word than that Fani Wills 50 Shades Of Blue Feb 2024 #16

What legal basis is there for throwing her off the case? SunSeeker Feb 2024 #22

I suspect you're not going to get an answer because there is no legal basis MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2024 #26

Willis and Wade are co-counsel on this case. SunSeeker Feb 2024 #9

Wade didn't hire himself. Willis hired him. He doesn't report to himself. He reports to her. 50 Shades Of Blue Feb 2024 #12

The county contracted with him. He does report to himself; he's an independent contractor. SunSeeker Feb 2024 #21

Very good points. I also think sexism is involved here. Some people spooky3 Feb 2024 #30

What LEGAL basis is there for removing her from the case? nt MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2024 #31

None Zeitghost Feb 2024 #33

That may be, but I don't think she gives a crap about the media, MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2024 #35

She's a prosecutor, not a politician. From what I've read spooky3 Feb 2024 #36

Nope. The contract was signed months before they started dating. SunSeeker Feb 2024 #41

Good point. Apparently he doesn't have much RICO experience, but is a good QB? Evolve Dammit Feb 2024 #44

Wade really knows his way around a courtroom. That makes him a great QB. SunSeeker Feb 2024 #54

Thanks much. Good info. Evolve Dammit Feb 2024 #55

She still has direct influence over his contract Zeitghost Feb 2024 #48

She is not his supervisor. He is an independent contractor. SunSeeker Feb 2024 #49

She is the DA Zeitghost Feb 2024 #50

She is not regulating Wade. They are co-counsel. They're on the same side. SunSeeker Feb 2024 #52

Thank you, Willis, after that there will be nothing but crickets. republianmushroom Feb 2024 #7

I am glad to see Fani Willis fighting back. Let's have her back. Hekate Feb 2024 #17

All of us in this thread, except for one, do have her back. MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2024 #25

I too have her back. But it doesn't stop me stopdiggin Feb 2024 #37

I certainly didn't mean to imply you didn't have her back, if I came off that way, MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2024 #38

no prob. no offense taken. -(nt)- stopdiggin Feb 2024 #39

I read she tried to hire 2 different prosecutors prior to Wade judesedit Feb 2024 #18

Correct. There aren't a lot of seasoned Atlanta prosecutors willing to risk their life for a temp job. SunSeeker Feb 2024 #24

That is one very sad reality that seems to be trending. Cult 45. Evolve Dammit Feb 2024 #46
