Georgia officials ‘blatantly violated’ rights in Cop City case, say protesters

Georgia prosecutors and police have repeatedly stretched the law or come under harsh criticism for their handling of a criminal conspiracy case involving protesters against a police-training center.

Experts have told the Guardian the case is the largest use of so-called Rico statutes against a protest movement in US history.

The case has been pushed so recklessly that one of the subjects of the prosecution said their constitutional rights were being “blatantly violated”.

The most recent hearing also made clear that the state had blown all deadlines to share its multiple terabytes of evidence with defense.

Two additional defendants had not received video and audio of their clients until days before.

The state holding onto their personal papers for more than a year is “beyond inconvenient. It’s incredibly violating”.
