they had. is the october 23rd trial date feasible? looking at the court findings from the d. a, fani willis, basically telling the attorney of all 19 defendants, make sure they have a flash drive that will have at least two terabytes of storage space. i, of course, googled how much space is that. it s enough room for 200,000 photos and 500,000 documents. that s a lot of information to have to go through. so is this even feasible or not? so it could be troubling, amara, indeed. it takes a long time to get to discovery, and discovery hasn t even happened yet. now you re looking at a shorter time frame to examine, evaluate, and get your strategic defenses. remember, amara, who asked for this? the defense asked for this. it wasn t the prosecutor saying,
four criminal cases in dc, florida, manhattan and georgia. fani willis proposed october 23rd trial date for all defendants in this case. here is fox news contributor jonathan turley. jonathan: i don t know how that date is possible temperature undermines prosecution to set such a date. they do not need to be tried together. trump s formal arraignment will take place next months, he is expected to plead not guilty and have a new attorney by that time. todd: i will be in the n.f.l. by carley: never say never, todd. todd: bring in sam dewey. sam, all focus this morning on this mugshot.
she s taking cases before the grand jury, she s tried multidefendant cases. she is in the her office is in the midst of a big gang trial right now, ysl gang trial. it has been several months of jury selection. i think that s noteworthy for whenever this case may come to trial, that it is likely to take several months just to even seat a jury. but she knows what she s doing. and i know that sadow has a great reputation, but so does fani willis. she represented defendants before and she s worked as a prosecutor. so she also sat as a judge for a period of time. so she knows all sides of the law and she has been doing this for many years and the fact that she took this before a grand jury i think speaks to the strength of the case that she believes she has. david, a judge scheduled in october 23rd trial for co-defendant chesebro, a lawyer accused of orchestrating the
fake elector scheme, fani willis proposed all the defendants go on trial the same day. is that possible? we re talking about 19 defendants with their, you know, co-counsel. is that possible? if you want to hold it in the basketball arena, perhaps. but in a courtroom, no. not going to be able to put 19 people on trial in a complex rico case at the same time. so i think what fani willis is trying to do is get a bunch of those defendants to flip. and i think she ll get there and get valuable information from some of them. you re going to see chesebro or chesebro, however you pronounce it, he s going to be first. he wants a speedy trial. he thought co-catch fani willis unprepared, she wouldn t expect to go so quickly. well, she called his bluff and they re on for october 23rd. if he thinks she s going to be unprepared, well, she s been working on this case for two and a half years. and i think her prosecutors are going to be very prepared by the time this goes to trial in two
we ll be watching that. lisa, i understand even since we ve been on the air we had some breaking news about this breaking topic of an october 23rd trial for attorney kenneth chesebro. what are you learning? reporter: we re learning that judge scott mcafee who is new to the bench and his relatively young lawyer has already taken his first act in this case, ordering ken chesebro will get the october 23rd speedy trial he has demanded. in the case management order, it s a 1-page order that judge mcafae has set down today, he s also making it clear it only applies to ken chesebro. so he s effectively gotten the trial date he wanted but has served his case at least right now from all the 18 other codefendants that stand with him in this indictment. gwen, is this now the final word? is this now for d.a. willis to go ahead and try mr. chesebro on
