"Defense Attorney Warns of Potential 'Death Knell' for Trump Case as Judge Considers Disqualifying DA Willis"

Defense attorney Caroline Polisi expressed concern that Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis being removed from the case to prosecute former President Trump could be detrimental, potentially leading to the case losing momentum if reassigned to another governing body. Polisi clarified that the judge's decision to disqualify Willis and the dismissal of charges against Trump are separate legal issues, but noted that reassigning the case could derail it altogether. She cited a previous case where Willis was disqualified and the prosecution has not been reassigned as an example of what could happen with the Trump case, potentially leading to the case being "death by a thousand cuts."
