Georgia prosecutors accused of improperly avoiding Final Exit Network trial

Description:

Robert Rivas, attorney to the Final Exit Network (FEN), says that Georgia prosecutors are intentionally delaying the start of court proceedings against the Final Exit Network members. In contrast, the Arizona prosecutors are proceeding at normal speed with their charges.

Rivas alleges that the Georgia prosecutors have a broad strategy of attempting to inflict damage on FEN outside the courtroom: filing criminal charges and not prosecuting them; seizing assets and avoiding the hearing which could give them back to FEN; and stimulating other states to investigate FEN.
