Georgia Fort

Well, I've been told from my attorneys that tomorrow's hearing is going to be pretty procedural.

I will have the opportunity to enter my plea.

And I think it's going to move fairly quickly.

But, you know, this is the week of my birthday.

And so instead of focusing on creating plans to celebrate with my family and friends, our focus is on getting through tomorrow.

Well, Rachel, I want to send a huge thank you to you and your viewers.

After I was on last—was it two weeks ago?

There was an outpouring of support.

And so my concern, honestly, remains with those of the people who are charged in this situation who are now in the media just becoming, you know, Don Lemon and others.

There's other people who are affected by this.

And you read stories of two other individuals who have been—who have claims of their First Amendment right being impeded on, right?

And so, as a journalist, those were the stories that I was here in Minnesota, where I'm from, that I was attempting to document over the period of, I would say, three weeks, very intensively, since the fatal shooting of Renee Good.

It does feel in a lot of ways like we are being muzzled.

It is extremely difficult to continue reporting on something when you're listed as a defendant on the very story that you're reporting.

Right.

And as a journalist, you would consider that to be an ethical dilemma.

But there are only two people who can factually and objectively say what happened on that day.

And now we're facing charges.

I've talked to my attorney and I'm being advised to go with them, I guess, down to Whipple.

And my children are here.
