Georgia Drops Money Laundering Charges Against Activists
News summary

Georgia prosecutors have dropped all 15 counts of money laundering against three Atlanta Solidarity Fund leaders accused of misusing a bail fund to support violent protests against the proposed police and fire training center, known as 'Cop City.' However, Marlon Kautz, Adele MacLean, and Savannah Patterson still face racketeering charges, along with 58 others, for their involvement in the 'Stop Cop City' movement. The decision to drop the money laundering charges came just before a motions hearing, with the Attorney General's office stating it was a strategic choice, though the rationale was not fully disclosed. Critics and supporters view this move as highlighting flaws in the state's case, which has been criticized by civil rights groups as an attempt to suppress protest activities. The dropped charges were related to minor expenses, such as $93.04 for camping supplies and $12.52 for kitchen materials. Patterson's attorney, Kristen Novay, praised the dismissal as a wise prosecutorial decision.
