Georgia lieutenant governor avoids criminal charges over fake elector plot
Briefly

'I find the conduct and involvement of Senator Jones as an elected representative to be reasonable and not criminal in nature,' said prosecutor Peter Skandalakis. His involvement as a fake elector was considered to be within the scope of his duties and aims to represent constituents' concerns.
Peter Skandalakis took over the investigation from Fani Willis, stating that the case could not progress further as Jones's actions were aligned with the advice of attorneys and legal scholars.
Fani Willis's investigation into Jones was initially halted by a Fulton county judge, who criticized her for appearing at a fundraiser for Jones’s opponent, thus raising questions regarding impartiality in the case.
Only some of the fake electors have faced criminal charges in Georgia, with several reportedly accepting immunity deals, indicating a complex legal landscape surrounding the events of the 2020 election.
