I can’t seem to get away from RICO cases. This morning, was the arraignment for dozens of co-defendants charged in a RICO indictment over trying to destroy the construction of a controversial police and fire training facility near Atlanta. It’s been dubbed Cop City by its detractors. Some of the 61 co-defendants have been charged with domestic terrorism stemming from charges leveled against them during a September indictment by Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr.
I was inside court during the arraignment. The judge was no nonsense. Someone was chastised for sneezing in court. Here’s my report from this morning before the judge set the trial date for June 2024
