Asked About Prison for Trump in Election Case, Fani Willis Vows 'No Special Break' for 'Status'

Please, please let him go to prison. Show us that the two-tiered justice system that the rich are privileged from is all in our heads.

Let's talk about that for a moment.
https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2022/title-16/chapter-14/section-16-14-5/
Any person convicted of the offense of engaging in activity in violation of Code Section 16-14-4 shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by not less than five nor more than 20 years’ imprisonment or the fine specified in subsection (b) of this Code section, or both.
In lieu of any fine otherwise authorized by law, any person convicted of the offense of engaging in conduct in violation of Code Section 16-14-4 may be sentenced to pay a fine that does not exceed the greater of $25,000.00 or three times the amount of any pecuniary value gained by him or her from such violation.
The court shall hold a hearing to determine the amount of the fine authorized by subsection (b) of this Code section.
For the purposes of subsection (b) of this Code section, the term “pecuniary value” means:
Anything of value in the form of money, a negotiable instrument, a commercial interest, or anything else, the primary significance of which is economic advantage; or
Any other property or service that has a value in excess of $100.00.
A conviction under Georgia RICO carries a mandatory punishment. That punishment is "5 to 20 years' prison" or a fine or both.
Or a fine. One might imagine that that "or," doing so much heavy lifting, exists for the purposes of eliciting plea deals. That may be true, but the fact remains that a Georgia RICO conviction can result in only a fine.
- Meaning the legal system at its core is ineffectual, illegitimate and meaningless.
  I want our revolution and new country and so should everyone else.
- So...
  three times the amount of any pecuniary value gained by him or her from such violation.
  And...
  Anything of value in the form of money, a negotiable instrument, a commercial interest, or anything else, the primary significance of which is economic advantage
  So... to determine the value, we'd just need to calculate everything that Trump would be able to suck out of the country if he had managed to remain in office. We could use what was actually paid out during his presidency as a basis for determining that.
  So, every penny paid to Trump directly, plus anything spent by the government in a Trump property used by him during his term. Including the numerous times he forced the government to pay him to house and feed his security detail and other government officials in his properties. Throw in anything his family got as well.
  Get the total, triple it, and take that much as a fine.
  Then throw his ass in jail.
  It won't happen, but it's a nice fantasy.
- That would be double stupid because when has this man ever paid his bills???
- I'm not a gambling man, but I'd bet you any amount of money the Prosecution isn't angling for "just a fine" & the State would appeal the verdict if that happened.

I hope she nails him to the fucking wall, make proud to be from Georgia Fani!

You’ll never get that grease smear out of the wall…

I fundamentally don’t understand what special “status” Trump has.

He’s not in office, he no longer has any of the benefits of the office of the president.

The whole point of a president is that they are a civilian. The office of the president has many powers and high status in the government, but that’s just the office. Anyone who is elected president gets that power and status because they are president for a time. His time as president is over, now he’s a regular civilian again. If he committed a crime, he should be subject to the same process as any other American citizen.

If the courts don’t do that, they are setting up the president as a monarch that is immune to the law.

His status is- everyone is terrified that his loyalists will go on a murder spree if he even so much as gets fined a small amount of cash. Therefore- he gets treated with kid gloves and gets away with murder.
- They could just bomb them from airplanes if they do so, but that option is historically only reserved for thriving black communities.
- So treat them the same as anyone else who decides to murder spree.

Hopefully the Georgia case will finish before the election, but I've heard some lawyers speculate that for a RICO case with so many defendants, that's wishful thinking.

Because on the chance that Trump actually wins the election before the case is over, he would be virtually guaranteed to get a special break.

he would be virtually guaranteed to get a special break.
There is no legal mechanism, Federal or State, that would permit that to happen. You can't even be pardoned in GA without serving most of your sentence.
- This is the opinion that I heard expressed by Glenn Kirschner. That if Trump was elected, there would be some special agreement between Georgia and the federal government to defer his sentence until he was out of office. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but it seems like you're suggesting that Trump would be serving as President while in a Georgia prison cell. Is that what you're saying?
- Except they can choose just to fine the offender.
