Interesting detail in this case on Harrison Floyd. Remember he didn't get bail and then raised $250,000 online? Did he play folks? He showed up in Atlanta and said he had no lawyer, couldn't afford a lawyer. Everyone else had a lawyer who negotiated bond beforehand.

He couldn't get a public defender because he made too much money. AND HE HAD A LAWYER. He had a federal case that he was already out on bond for assaulting an FBI agent. And Fani Willis spoke to his lawyer

Willis’ office provided the Atlanta Journal-Constitution with a recording of a phone call Willis made that same day to attorney Carlos J.R. Salvado, who is Floyd’s attorney in an unrelated criminal case in federal court in Maryland. In the call, she explained that she had sent a representative to meet with Floyd at the jail when he turned himself in. Willis told Salvado that Floyd was offered a consent bond at that time, but he refused it.

“He said he didn’t want to talk to anyone without a lawyer, so they ended the conversation and walked out of the jail. So, your client’s going be sitting in jail with no bond,” she said, according the recording reviewed by The AJC.

...

In the recorded phone call with Floyd’s Maryland attorney, Willis said when Floyd turned up in Atlanta, he “made somewhat of a scene in the lobby of the jail and basically just begged to be booked in.” Lawyers for all of the other defendants came to her office to arrange bail prior to their clients going to the jail, she said.

Was he just a rube?

“You know what? I feel bad about it, and I’m gonna tell you the reason I feel bad is there’s 19 defendants on this indictment and he is the only one held with no bond, and I think it’s because he’s a layperson and he doesn’t understand,” she said in the recorded call.

Salvado, who did not immediately return a call and email seeking comment, seemed to agree with Willis that Floyd’s lack of knowledge of the criminal justice system contributed to his predicament.

But this guy is facing a RICO charge minimum 5 year, maximum 20 year sentence, and two charges of intimidating a witness, which are 1 year minimum, 5 year max. And he didn't have a conversation with his criminal attorney? We knew a RICO case was coming in GA for a long time. We knew at least as early as March, Ruby Freeman the witness he's accused of intimidating spoke to the grand jury.

This guy has known for months he might catch a charge, a RICO charge and he never talks to his lawyer? Plus he's already on pretrial release in the federal case, so he's gone through this once and and knows the process.

Did he do this to get free legal funds? Something is weird.
