more from Litman:
3 factors:
1. no likelihood of confusion re which evidence & #law apply--same conspiracy, all acts apply to all.
2. #evidence all admissible so spillover irrelevant.
3. antangonistic defenses-they concede.
#Court granted expedited timeline b/c of #SpeedyTrial.
∴ the Oct 23 date sticks.
#RICO can't be all encompassing, but broadly construed.
3 factors don't apply.
So no #legal basis to #sever #Chesebro or #Powell.

His speedy trial demand seeks to force a quick #trial that comes within, or shortly after, the term of the grand jury that issued the #indictment against #Trump & his allies. On Thurs morning, #Chesebro asked for an “#expedited” #arraignment to facilitate his #SpeedyTrial effort.…
A trial just 2 months from now seems implausible given the torrent of anticipated pretrial motions & complex #legal issues likely to be litigated before a jury can be seated.

#Georgia prosecutors asked a state judge to schedule Trump’s #racketeering #trial for Oct 23, 2023, an unexpectedly #expedited timeline proposed in response to a formal demand by 1 of #Trump’s 18 #codefendants for a #SpeedyTrial.
The demand came Wed from Kenneth #Chesebro, an #attorney who is accused of orchestrating a scheme to send #FakeElectors to Congress.

In a filing last wk, #JackSmith's team requested that jury selection begin Dec & that the #trial start… on Jan 2, 2024. That date, per Snr Asst #SpecialCounsel Molly Gaston, "would vindicate the public’s strong interest in a #SpeedyTrial—…guaranteed by the #Constitution & fed #law…, but of particular significance here, where the defendant… is charged w/ #conspiring to overturn the legit results of the 2020election, #obstruct the certification of the election, & discount citizens’ legit votes."
