First, the allegations must be backed up with evidence, the experts told Law360. And if there is evidence, it is unlikely that the case will be tossed, the experts said.

“If they have enough evidence to move forward, then the fact that there’s a potential conflict of interest because maybe she should not have picked her boyfriend—if he is her boyfriend—I am struggling to see how that is grounds to get the whole thing dismissed,” said Jan Jacobowitz, an ethics expert at the University of Miami School of Law.

Clark Cunningham, a professor at the Georgia State University College of Law, said the allegations could lead to investigations of Willis by state ethics officials or by a new prosecutor oversight commission being created in the state. The standard for disqualification, he said, was set in a 2014 Georgia Supreme Court decision, McLaughlin v. Payne, which found that a district attorney should have been disqualified because of a personal interest in the case.

“It may seem to people kind of far-fetched that Mr. Roman is being prosecuted, so that [Willis] can take a vacation in the Caribbean,” Cunningham told WABE.

I'm thinking "personal interest in the case" is more like "will benefit from the outcome of the case." Which is substantially different from "used the income for vacations."
