A Georgia judge dismissed the domestic terrorism charge against protestor Jamie Marsicano, citing violations of their due process rights and right to a speedy trial due to prosecution delays. Marsicano was arrested during a Stop Cop City music festival in March 2023, alongside other protesters. Although all were charged with domestic terrorism, none have been indicted over two years later. The judge criticized the state for its lack of progress in the case, indicating that the delays appeared to be a tactical move by the attorney general.
The prosecution's delays violated Marsicano's due process rights and their right to a speedy trial.
More than two years later, none of the protesters have been indicted.
The State's delay appears to be deliberate, weighing heavily against it.
The attorney general appears to have delayed this matter in order to gain tactical advantage over the defense.
