Fulton County Superior Court Ruling on Harrison Floyd’s Appeal
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee recently issued an order for an immediate review of the appeal made by Harrison Floyd, a co-defendant in the Trump RICO case. The appeal contests the actions of District Attorney Fani Willis, alleging that she exceeded her jurisdiction by pursuing an election-related indictment against Floyd without proper authorization.
The Charges Against Harrison Floyd
Harrison Floyd, known for his involvement with Black Voices for Trump, faced multiple charges including RICO, conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements, and influencing a witness. Despite the efforts of Floyd’s legal team, the judge initially rejected a Plea in Bar filed last year on his behalf.
Following continued legal proceedings, Judge McAfee ultimately granted a Certificate of Immediate Review, allowing for the case to be reviewed promptly.
Legal Developments and Potential Appeals
A recent report by Law & Crime highlighted the significant decision made by Judge McAfee. The report noted that Harrison Floyd would have the opportunity to appeal several trial court rulings to the Georgia Court of Appeals in relation to his case.
McAfee’s decision to grant a certificate of immediate review offers Floyd the chance to challenge the court’s previous denials of his arguments. These arguments primarily centered around District Attorney Willis’ actions and the jurisdictional concerns raised by Floyd’s legal team.
Since October 2023, Floyd has been persistent in his claims that the charges against him were unfounded due to the lack of proper authorization from the State Election Board. The ongoing legal exchange between Floyd’s attorneys and the state further underscores the complexity of the case.
As legal proceedings continue in this high-profile case, the decision to allow an immediate review provides an avenue for Harrison Floyd to pursue further legal remedies in defense of the allegations against him.
