“he’ll be required to be in court for his four criminal trials across four jurisdictions, and those could last for weeks at a time while voting is underway.”
By point of comparison, Fani Willis’ last big RICO trial was for a Georgia school cheating scandal, 12 defendants, and it took EIGHT MONTHS.
Hard to say, Chesebro has already been granted 10/23 as his date, which is what Willis wanted, in fact she went “Fine, 10/23 for EVERYONE.” I doubt there will be any delay on the court side.

Trying a former President and his lawyers could easily take a year or more.

Two defendants have invoked Georgia’s “speedy trial” law which means their trials HAVE to be held before 11/3 or the charges will be dropped.
Because the RICO charge hits ALL of them, Willis is like “Game on, you want early trials? EVERYONE gets early trials…”
They probably invoke them because they thought she can’t meet the deadline or the courts will delay it.
What the chances of the courts holding ths up? You look at New York and the other indictments and trails for those not set until long into next year.
