The judge presiding over the Georgia election subversion case rejected a bid by defendant Kenneth Chesebro to dismiss his indictment, according to a filing on Friday.
"Because Mr. Wade did not file his oaths as expressly required by law, any actions that he took prior to filing the oath on September 27, 2023, are void as a matter of law," Chesebro's attorneys wrote in court filings earlier this week. Georgia law states"official acts of an officer shall be valid regardless of his omission to take and file the oath, except in cases where so specifically declared," McAfee wrote.
"If this parrot of a motion is somehow not yet dead, the defendant has failed to establish how Special ADA Wade's actions resulted in prejudice, i.e., how his assignment singlehandedly changed any specific actions taken during the investigation or resulted in the true bill of the indictment," McAfee argued."Nor has defendant established a constitutional violation or structural defect in the grand jury process sufficient to justify outright dismissal.
