The racist American Justice System locks up only the black guy. while letting the white guys (Trump & 17 other co-defendants) go home!
Harrison Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump, is the only Black man among former President Donald Trump’s 18 co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case.
Harrison Floyd was denied bond on Friday. A judge said he was a potential flight risk.
ATLANTA — Only one of former President Donald Trump’s 18 co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case has been jailed as a result of the charges.
On Friday, defendant Harrison Floyd was informed during his initial court appearance that he’d be spending more time at the Fulton County Jail since he was considered a potential flight risk.
Floyd bristled at the suggestion that he might not return for future proceedings in the case.
“There’s no way that I’m a flight risk, ma’am,” he told Judge Emily Richardson after she denied his bond request.
“I showed up before the president was here,” he added, referring to Trump.
Floyd, who’s charged with racketeering, conspiracy and influencing a witness, turned himself in Thursday afternoon, ahead of Trump’s 20-minute appearance at the jail that evening. Prosecutors allege that Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump and the only Black man among the defendants, was part of a scheme to pressure election worker Ruby Freeman into making false statements. Freeman had been falsely accused by Trump and his allies of election fraud.
Unlike the other defendants in the case, Floyd did not have a lawyer reach a bond agreement with prosecutors before surrendering.
During Friday’s hearing, Richardson asked Floyd if he had an attorney and he said he did not. He said the ones he’d spoken to cost between $40,000 and $100,000, and “I can’t put my family in that kind of debt.”
He added that’d he’d requested a public defender and was denied one. The judge told him he did not qualify for one.
Richardson added that the judge who’ll be presiding over the election interference case, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, “will go through the process if you choose to represent yourself and to not retain a lawyer. He will go through that process and those questions with you.”
Richardson said one of the reasons she was denying him bond on Friday was a pending.
This is completely unconstitutional and a violation of floyd’s rights.
He is an innocent man who is being falsely accused and held hostage in jail! He has a wife and a small toddler daughter and he can’t afford a lawyer, and now he’s being denied a public defender when public defenders are even given to rapists and serial killers. Everyone is entitled to a public defender.
How can he be denied a public defender? He said he can’t afford a lawyer.
He was told that he could post bail at $5,000 and then Judge Richardson said he can’t even post bail anymore, which means he has to stay locked up in Fulton County Jail, one of the most dangerous jails in America.
