Now she has written the judge and state a few times informing the judge of the full agreement and that she will not tolerate any BS from the state. Also that her clent will not be talking to the state before the trial. Again, no other client that took a plea, had their lawyer do any of this. She also went above and beyond for her client Michael Roman in the Trump Rico case.

@@captrockh2055what exactly did they win ? All they got was a patty cake to do by the court , which is what the open records request is already , this isn’t the gotcha that you all think it is you just don’t actually know legal procedure
Fulton Co. Please vote out this corruption! You deserve better and you deserve the person spending your tax dollars and grant money be held accountable to you! The constituents! She would lock you and your family up. Why is Fani and her office not held to the same standards?
They won't. The last DA was corrupt af. It took 20 years and scandal after scandal before they voted him out. Fani won the primary election for the democrats for DA of Fulton a few months back by 70%. The county is around 70% Democrat and majority black voters. The lady running against her is a very young Republican who did little to no campaigning. Fani will win her re-election.
Ashleigh Merchant is way smarter than what fani willis has appointed to this case. All I'm seeing here is a total waste of tax payers money. This could have been avoided if willis complied with the open records request.
To be fair, he was handed a poo sandwich and told to make a cake with it. I'd have hated to be in his position because he is trying to defend the indefensible.
This is the lawyer who Fani Willis sent to defend her from the DA’s office. Doesn't say much about the quality of lawyers Fani is hiring imo. IDK, maybe the best ones are busy. Well, to be fair, there really isn't an excuse for the DA’s records dept not to give the records asked for by Ms. Merchant though, so it's like he was trying to make a house with paper, nails, and glue..
This guy is simping so hard for Fanni Willis. It’s almost as if you work for the Fulton County DAs office you have to swear fealty to DA Willis. Mrs. Merchant is a world class attorney and had him down bad.
Surely, if she has documents she received through subpoena but were not provided through the records request, then the open records request is still open/pending (not complied with).
Don't you remember her testimony? As a black woman she was raised to keep cash and responsive documents in her pillowcase, so she can't be responsible for not keeping those documents at her office.
I never knew who she was till she came into the YSL court room like super woman for Brian Steel I loved that and she was speaking in a way that we all could understand and the way she had to explain the law to the judge I read more about her and saw fairness. Then I read the motion for her client in the YSL case and it was also something I could follow and understand. So far, the little I've seen, there is a lot of respect. If I lived in GA, she would have my vote
I'm 9 minutes in, just barely know what this is about, but I can see this woman is sharp and I would definitely want her on my side! EDIT; I have now read many comments, I'm not the only one that thinks, THIS WOMAN HAS HER SHIT TOGETHER!
Hey Fulton County residents is this how you want your tax dollars spent??? When I traveled to Florida I passed through Atlanta and when I changed interstates thousands of homeless folks were camped right next to the interstate along with piles of trash! It looked like a dump landfill!! Is that what you wanted when you voted for this Democrat because that's what you got and it will only get worse!!!
Ashleigh Merchant is an Upstanding Hero to her profession. She has exposed the criminals in the DA' s office. Fani Willis is a Judicial Criminal!!! We appreciate you Ashleigh & stand by you 🙏
She is gorgeous and has a fine as hubby. Go Merchants. I love the way AM camevto The Man of Steels defense with her team. Great work. I'm a New Yorker been following the ysl circus. Should have been a mistrial. No evidence against Williams no RICO. Smh
Willis is so corrupt. Why would anyone working for a DA need to sign a NDA? It's a public office not a private legal firm. Thankful for Merchant's hard work in trying to bring some seriously needed transparency to Fulton County. Willis needs to be disbarred.
The bottom line of this hearing is DA Willis is using her position and her office to give A.M. a difficult time getting those documents because when A.M. grilled DA Willis during DA Willis’s testimony about her relationship with Wade. Get the picture here?
I normally wouldn't watch a whole thing like that but the woman on the stand was so intelligent she clearly had that defense attorney whooped it was amazing watching her
@@brijones I don’t think they’re going to call her client! They know they can’t fck w/A. Merchant! She’ll eat the STATE up and leave no left overs AT ALL!
