Georgia Court of Appeals disqualifies Fani Willis

The Georgia Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that Willis and her office could not continue prosecuting the case, finding that her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade created an appearance of impropriety. The decision reversed Judge Scott McAfee, who had allowed Willis to stay if Wade left, and left the case without a prosecutor.
