🔥 Lawmakers DEVASTATE Fani with New Law That Could Leave Her Bankrupt?
Well looks like our favorite "Fani" "What you talking about" Willis could end up bankrupt after lawmakers are passing a bill which folks could change things in GA forever. Georgia lawmakers passed a new system to pay the wrongfully convicted and here is where current POTUS 47 comes in as his case in GA is tied in so with this now we also find out that the Trump election case was added and he could sue her office along with people like Young Thug for who knows how many MILLIONS! Esentially bankrupting her.
Next stop is Gov. Brian Kemp’s desk for a signature.
Senate Bill 244, originally inspired by Trump’s election interference case in Georgia, was later amended to revive the Wrongful Conviction Compensation Act, a stalled House bill that was aimed at providing reparations to people wrongfully incarcerated. House lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have faced an uphill battle in their efforts to properly compensate those who have been wrongfully incarcerated. The process is currently done on a case-by-case basis through individual compensation resolutions that must pass through the full legislative process like any other bill. Legislation to standardize the process was initially introduced by Atlanta Democratic Rep. Scott Holcomb in 2022, and re-introduced in 2023, but his efforts have repeatedly been stalled in the Senate by Republican opposition. The version that ultimately emerged as the clock ran out on the 2025 legislative session Friday, sponsored by Alpharetta Republican Sen. Brandon Beach, secured a 35-18 vote in its second pass through the Senate, with all Republicans and the three highest-ranking Senate Democrats voting in support of the legislation. Its passage also marked a final sine die gavel for Beach, a staunch Trump ally who was recently appointed by the president to serve as U.S. Treasurer.
If Gov. Brian Kemp signs the bill into law, it will allow criminal defendants to recoup their legal costs from county prosecuting attorneys’ budgets in cases where the prosecutor is disqualified for personal or professional misconduct. (During Trump’s election interference case in Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified after an appeals court judge found that her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade created a “significant appearance of impropriety.”) Separately, it will establish a new process under Georgia state law for people who have been convicted for crimes they did not commit and later exonerated, allowing administrative law judges to rule on wrongful conviction compensation cases and awarding a standardized rate of $75,000 for each year of incarceration to each exoneree, with an additional $25,000 added for each year spent on death row.
This is the third consecutive biennium that legislators in the House have attempted to reform the system for compensating those who have been wrongfully incarcerated. However, Republican opposition in the Senate particularly from Sen. Randy Robertson, a Cataula Republican and former law enforcement officer has repeatedly stalled those efforts. Under current Georgia law, those who have been wrongfully convicted must find a state representative who is willing to sponsor an individual compensation resolution for them and file a claim with Georgia’s Claims Advisory Board. Those resolutions then go through the full legislative process and must pass committees and floor votes in both the House and Senate before they can take effect, but those efforts too have routinely died in the Senate in recent years.
Though Robertson emphasized that he was still not fully on board with the legislation aimed at compensating the wrongfully convicted, he conceded that the current system was in need of reform in a speech on the final day of the 2025 legislative session. “What I realized is the process is not a good process,” Robertson said, but vowed to continue work shopping the wrongful conviction component of the bill after the 2025 legislative session concludes. “I’m going to ask you today to support the senator from the 21st and vote for this legislation, and in the off-season, we’ll tackle the other thing that’s attached to it and we’ll come up with a process that works,” he continued, addressing his Senate colleagues. “Support this bill, get it across, and I promise you the fight’s not over.” Democrats also condemned the original language of the bill, arguing that it could have a disproportionate impact on smaller counties with more limited budgets, and discourage prosecutors from tackling complex or high-profile cases.
But Holcomb celebrated its passage. “This will give hope to real people whose lives were devastated and destroyed by a wrongful conviction, and it gives them a path to get some measure of compensation so they can restart their lives,” he said. “I’m very grateful for that. This is a major legislative achievement that comes out of this session.” Though he acknowledged that there is no way to fully undo a wrongful conviction, he hopes that the new system will bring equality and efficiency to the process. “There isn’t a person alive who would trade the money that these individuals are receiving for what happened to them in terms of being locked up in our state’s prisons, for usually for decades of their lives for something that they didn’t do,” he said. “This is a path to provide some remedy. It’s an inadequate remedy in terms of nothing can bring back those years, but it’s an adequate remedy in terms of dollars that will really help them through the remaining years of their lives.”

Text Message From Fani Willis’ Office Shows Investigator Hitting on Witness
The Fulton County District now disgraced and who should be disbarred Attorney Fani Willis’ and office is facing another scandal. It just came out that text messages produced in court demonstrate that while working on a case, an investigator for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s office made advances on a witness. This happened during the RICO trial for Young Slime Life (YSL) against rapper Young Thug (real name Jeffrey Williams) and several co-defendants proceeded on Monday, additional information regarding the actions of an investigator working for Willis’ office surfaced. During Williams’s cross-examination of a female witness known only as A. Bennett, the witness’s lawyer questioned her regarding messages she had received from Hamilton, the county investigator. Among the text messages was one from Hamilton that read: “Hit me up if you’re bored later. We’re not gonna talk shop.” Asked what it was the investigator wanted to talk to her about, Bennett told attorney Keith Adams that Hamilton wanted to discuss going out on “a date” with her.
“And this is February 7 of 2024, this year, when the investigator for the DA’s office is supposed to be talking to you about a case, but in fact, is calling you talking about going on a date. Is that true?” Adams asked the witness. “Yes,” she replied. Bennett also testified that Hamilton had called her “mama” several times. In a text message that was shown to the court, the investigator had texted the witness, “G[ood] m[orning] Mama. Hope you slept well. Again don’t come at 1:30. I have a feeling the defense will keep this same witness from yesterday all day again today. I’ll give you an update at 3pm. You will most likely go up tomorrow morning. I’ll talk 2 u soon.”
Newsweek reported: “Bennett is testifying in the case about a robbery that Williams and two others allegedly committed in 2013. Williams and 27 others were indicted in a sweeping RICO case by Willis in May 2022. The district attorney is accusing Williams of being the kingpin of Young Slime Life, an Atlanta-based street gang affiliated with the notorious national Bloods gang.”
“The YSL trial has been underway since November and is expected to go well into 2024. Monday marks the 54th day of the trial. Monday’s text messages are the latest details in the sexual harassment allegations being raised by Williams’ defense team,” the outlet added.
Bennett testified before the court last month that Hamilton had harassed her sexually and had once told her he wanted to “take her out when the investigation was over.” She explained that the investigator had wanted to discuss the case with her alone at a restaurant, but she didn’t feel comfortable going alone, so she ended up bringing her 2-year-old son along. Adams asked Bennett: “Did the fact that this employee of the district attorney’s office was trying to date you come into your mind as you were thinking about whether you would be coming in and testifying or not?”
“Yes,” she responded. Bennett further stated in her Monday testimony that Adriane Love, the chief deputy district attorney, and other members of Willis’ staff unnerved her. She claimed that even after informing the district attorney’s office that she had nothing further to say regarding the purported robbery, they still harassed her. Last month, Love’s attorneys attempted to have her removed from the case on the grounds that she had “voluntarily and continuously” inserted herself into the case, thereby making herself a witness.
The presiding judge in the case decided last week not to disqualify Love. Willis has also made national headlines in her case against former President Donald Trump and other co-defendants.
