we were thinking they could limit themselves to just discreet things in georgia. from reading this, it appears what they have done is gone much broader than we first anticipated. and we are showing an image of the county clerk s hand got some documents to those in the courthouse to our reporters and others, we are expecting to hear from funny willis at any moment, julie sense of how much detail she will go into? we don t yet, anderson, we do know that one of the things that she obviously has to be mindful of is the fact that this is a case that is now in the hands of the court. and she is going to, have this is going to go trial. that is the intent here. so we anticipate that she is going to keep her comments for absolutely more broad, maybe underscoring the importance of bringing this case. why this case is being brought. the message that she wants to bring forward. why is doing in the first, place obviously two years after this investigation.
doubt at trial. i would like to take a moment to think the superior court clerk shea alexander, and her staff, for staying late and making sure that this indictment was processed. i would also like to think the men and women of sheriff allots office for keeping the courthouse open, but most importantly for keeping us safe over the weeks and months that have led up to this indictment. and for what they will continue to do to keep us safe. we also want to thank the atlanta police department and other law enforcement departments who have worked with the sheriff to keep a status. i will now take in a very limited number of questions, prior to going to sleep. if you don t mind. seven elevens. could you clarify in georgia the mandatory minimum when it comes to rico charges, whether it is servile via probation or
