Charges of embezzling public money and paying Wade for trips in secret. According to the district attorney, Willis acted aggressively toward the attorneys involved in the RICO case and withheld funds from a campaign.
Roman’s attorneys contend that Willis fabricated their relationship’s chronology and made money off of Wade’s hiring.
During closing arguments, the judge asked a question that rendered Willis’s attorney speechless. Chief Deputy DA clarifies that the complaint misrepresents the statute regarding elected district attorneys’ disqualification.
“Let’s go back to that. Show me how,” the judge then interjected. “Certainly a conflict of interest or the appearance of impropriety, may be the grounds for disqualification,” McAfee continued while citing a relevant case.
Abbate stared silently and blankly at the judge during the entire exchange.
“Well, I think they acknowledge that there’s some ambiguity here that sometimes Whitworth and Whitworth gets cited of insurer and we’ve got this quote that comes up where it’s just they only cite to an actual conflict that must be involved. They acknowledge the ambiguity. They acknowledge the ambiguity. You’re saying there’s no ambiguity whatsoever,” the judge continued after another long pause.
