Clock Ticking on Trump Case

A Georgia judge gave prosecutors until Oct. 17 to replace Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis or he will dismiss the 2020 election case against Donald Trump and 14 others.

Judge Scott McAfee said Friday that the case would be tossed “for want of prosecution” unless the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council submitted a replacement.

Peter Skandalakis, the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council, has not given a timeline for when a new prosecutor is expected to be chosen.

Willis was disqualified from the case due to a romantic relationship with a special prosecutor she hired to assist.

  Pro Fisherman Charged in Fatal Boat Crash

A professional bass fisherman from Leesburg was indicted on manslaughter and assault charges for an April boat crash in Alabama that killed three people and injured two others.

Flint Andrew Davis, 22, is accused of speeding across a lake at about 70 mph when his boat struck the boat carrying the victims.

The crash happened during a Major League Fishing tournament. The victims were on a company-sponsored fishing trip and not part of the tournament.

Davis, who lacked a valid boating license, faces civil lawsuits in addition to the criminal case.
