in front of, by the way, a pool of potential jurors. Okay, you can't try cases on the courthouse steps, let alone in the well of a church filled with potential jurors on the case. And so it was all of these things put together that I think made this the right opinion. And it's for, just like Ashley said, the Georgia Supreme Court, I predict is not going to want to touch this.
This case is effectively over. It's dead. It's dying. It's not going to be revived by the Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia, in my view.

Yeah. Look, and I remember very clearly because I was posting on X or Twitter about it, whatever it was at the time and other media, we were talking about it here and, and we, we got just a lot of people just dismissed. Oh, well there's, you know, there's no evidence and all this, but I knew better. Okay. I knew there was evidence.

And even if I didn't know maybe what exactly some of that evidence was, I know Ashley Merchant. We're co-counsel together on certain cases, even right now. And if Ashley Merchant says she's got evidence, she has evidence. And there is no doubt about that in my mind. And so we fast forward to the hearing.

We saw a lot of what her evidence was. And we saw that this thing does have legs. And to be honest with you, Some of the best evidence for Ashley and her client in this case was the testimony of Willis, right?

Because if she had not testified the way that she did and made this whole thing into such an outrageous spectacle, it probably would not have caught the attention of the Georgia Court of Appeals the way that it did. Because they pointed out in this opinion, guys, they said, look, normally the mere appearance

Well, the conflict of interest is not going to be enough, but this is the exceptional case. That may be the rule, but this is the exception, and it's the exception because it's so egregious.
