The office’s appeal corresponds to the defendants’ provisional appeal to dismiss and disqualify it from the case in March. “This court granted the defendants a certificate of immediate review for the March 15 order on March 20, 2024, and the Court of Appeals granted the Defendants’ Application for Interlocutory Appeal on May 8, 2024,” said the office in a Thursday court filing. “The Defendants began filing their notices of appeal on May 10, 2024.”.It appealed because it has the power to in any instance where a defendant in a criminal case applies for and is granted an interlocutory appeal. In these situations, it has the right to cross appeal on any matter ruled on prior to jury selection or the defendant being put in jeopardy. It filed this notice of cross appeal within 15 days of the defendants’ initial notices of appeal. During the appeal process, it called for the clerk to not omit any records. The office requested the clerk include pretrial hearing transcripts relevant to the order at issue from December and January. “As the subject matter of this appeal is ‘not reserved to the Supreme Court or conferred on other courts by law,’ the Court of Appeals of Georgia has jurisdiction on this appeal,” it said. Trump surrendered to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office in August over charges about him attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia in his fourth criminal case.
