This seemed to be popular information when I posted it (ahem) “elsewhere”. Thought it might be welcome to have here.

Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, have not been announced.
The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. That trial date is currently set for January 15th, the same day as the Iowa caucus.
As someone who is not as familiar with the legal system as I probably should be: Does anyone have any guesses as to how long is this Georgia trial going to take? What if it is set 21 days before the New York trial but drags out longer? He can’t be in 2 places at once, are there laws that one of the courts is required to adjust dates or could a judge be a dick and refuse to do so? Also, what happens if he would get sentenced to prison for one crime before another trial? Would they just ship him out of prison for his trial? What if he is sentenced to prison in Georgia but has to go to trial in another state, where does he stay during the trial, in a state or federal prison? Also, is it truly possible that we could have a reality where the president of the United States is in a state prison in Georgia during his term?
Not that I believe for one moment that he will ever spend a night behind bars. I will believe it when it happens.
I think even people familiar with the legal system are going to have no clue because we’ve never tried a former President before and certainly not one as delay prone as this one.
Looking at other GA RICO cases though, Fani Willis did the Atlanta public schools cheating trial with 12 defendants, it was the longest trial in Georgia history and took 8 months. There were originally 35 defendants and all but 12 took plea deals. She called over 100 witnesses.
