Here are five key takeaways from Georgia Judge Scott McAfee's 23-page order giving DA Fani Willis an ultimatum: remove ex-lover Nathan Wade from the case or step aside.
A Georgia judge on Friday ruled that embattled District Attorney Fani Willis needed to remove her ex-lover and special prosecutor from the case, or step aside herself, scolding her for 'making poor choices' and having 'tremendous lapse in judgment.
McAfee said that some of those comments, including Willis' 'unorthodox decision to make on-the-record comments, and authorize members of her staff to do likewise, to authors intent on publishing a book about the special grand jury’s investigation during the pendency of this case,' didn't warrant her disqualification. But McAfee said that Willis' racially charged rhetoric about 'playing the race card' during a speech at a church service was 'legally improper.
