The question is whether the new DA would still pursue the "novel" RICO approach, do something else, or drop the charges altogether.
I think Willis tried to form a RICO case because she was reliving a past success -- she prosecuted an Atlanta Public School cheating scandal on standardized tests as a RICO case against 35 people. All but 12 took plea deals, and 11 of the 12 that went to trial were found guilty.
Do you think that if another GA District Attorney were to pick up the case from Willis, they would stick with the RICO approach?

She also charged a rapper, don’t remember his name, and that case is still ongoing. She loves the RICO charge apparently.
