Column: Some of Trump’s co-defendants could go to trial this fall. Will he have to join them?

LA Times  

Attorney Sidney Powell could join fellow Trump lawyer and co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro on trial in the Georgia racketeering case as soon as November. As McAfee quickly perceived, however, Chesebro and Powell weren’t so much making a compelling argument for separate trials as they were challenging the state’s racketeering law. Chesebro’s move for a fall trial under Georgia’s strict speedy-trial requirements was a clever means of advancing his case for separation given the logistical challenges of trying the whole group that quickly. Because Georgia law doesn’t really require severance of any of the cases, the default position that the prosecution advocates is that once one or more defendants are set for trial, the others follow unless they present their own valid reasons for severance.
