September 28, So much of what is ugly and unhinged about America can be seen in the eyes of a mother whose 8-year-old is dead. A bullet pierced her back and killed her last year after she attended a Fourth of July fireworks show. By Independence Day, armed menโwhom Willis takes pains to distinguish from protestersโhad erected barricades nearby. It has since become public knowledge that city officials appear to have directed police not to intervene right away.
Secoriea and her mother were in a Jeep that drove past the barricades, prompting multiple people to open fire. The family later put up a billboard imploring the public for information about her killers. But there have been no answers for more than a year. Williamson and Ms. She looks as if a strong blast from an AC vent could displace her entirely.
Authorities have charged a suspect with felony murder and aggravated assault in a shooting that killed the 8-year-old girl near the site of an earlier police shooting. Charmaine Turner, mother of Secoriea Turner, is surrounded by her sons and Secoriea's father, Secoriey Williamson, while reciting a poem during the home-going service for Secoriea at New Calvary Missionary Church on July 15, Willis delivers her news. More defendants and charges could follow. This is the practical and some might say political work that occupies any chief prosecutor of a major city.
Murders in Atlanta and almost every other major U. The increase in crime has not slowed this year. They include a series of shootings in Atlanta-area spas for which a man steeped in white Evangelical culture stands accused of shooting and killing eight people, six of them Asian women. That creates its own pressure. The case could even lead to an indictment for Trump himselfโand while election-related prosecutions are already rare in the United States, criminal prosecution of an ex-president would be unprecedented.
The consensus among constitutional scholars is clear, says Fred Smith Jr. Since the election, Trump supporters have dispatched such a high volume of threats that, while the Fulton County District Attorney has long had a protection detail, the group of officers protecting Willis is larger and continuous. When Willis goes to dinner or does some shopping or hits the gym before sunrise, her security detail is there.
