天黑请闭眼

A Georgia prosecutor filed a motion on Thursday moving up a proposed trial date for Donald Trump and his allies to October in the sprawling case accusing the former president and more than a dozen other defendants of election interference.

Fani Willis, the Atlanta district attorney who brought the case against Trump, initially proposed that the trial begin on March 4, landing squarely in the middle of Trump’s other trial dates amid a busy legal calendar for the former president heading into the 2024 election. But after Kenneth Chesebro, a former Trump attorney and fellow defendant, filed a request for a speedy trial this week, Willis requested that the court set the trial to begin for “all 19 defendants” in just two months.

“Without waiving any objection as to the sufficiency of Defendant Kenneth John Chesebro’s filing, the State requests that this Court specially set the trial in this case to commence on October 23, 2023,” Willis wrote in the filing, noting that the date falls within the next court term, in accordance with Georgia criminal code.

Analysts have noted that even the initial March timeline for the trial to get underway is improbable, with a lengthy period of pre-trial motions expected to delay proceedings. Already a number of defendants have motioned to remove the case to federal court, in the first examples of pre-trial delays. But a trial set to begin in just a matter of weeks appears nearly impossible.

The indictment, which was handed up by a Georgia grand jury earlier this month, accuses Trump and his allies of orchestrating a criminal enterprise to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump is expected to surrender on Thursday to Fulton County authorities for booking.

Trump faces trials in New York in a case in which he stands accused of paying hush money to a porn star and in federal court in Florida on charges he mishandled classified documents. Those cases are currently scheduled to begin on March 25 and May 20. And if things go prosecutors’ way in the election conspiracy case brought by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, Trump would face another trial in the nation’s capital in early January.

状元郎复出倒计时？据ESPN&Andscape名记Marc J. Spears报道，西帝选择在墨尔本自掏腰包参加“零限制”澳大利亚男篮国家队的迷你训练营来恢复状态。并且在社媒上晒出一张训练场照片，照片里赤裸上身的西帝展现出不出的身材管理，肌肉线条非常明显；并配文写道：“我不会去改写我的故事。那些巅峰的荣耀，低谷的挣扎，那些痛苦、岁月与教训，我全盘接纳，将它们拥入怀中。人生的每一章，都在我身上铸就了某些东西，那是任何其他经历都无法赋予的。感恩我走过的来路，自豪我此刻的立足之地。无论未来通向何方，我都已准备好迎接一切。”好家伙，一股 “历经沉浮满血归来” 的氛围感扑面而来~场上场下状态都拉满，行情自然也跟着上来了。由于西帝本人也对接受老将底薪合同持开放态度，目前已经有多支NBA球队联系他了，其中一支西部球队甚至对他发出了训练营试训邀请。此外，西帝心里还揣着一个长远目标——代表澳大利亚出战2028年洛杉矶奥运会。不过有一说一，西帝的经纪人可是里奇-保罗，这老哥在包装球员运作市场方面的能力在联盟独一档，所以西帝的行情有没有那么抢手，懂的都懂。现在呼声最高&最有可能的下家是老东家76人这倒是真的，更耐人寻味的是，西帝最近还晒出了阿kling第23代签名鞋（Old Glory配色），不知道是不是在传递什么隐蔽的信号？再结合76人在四号位上，除了从骑士转投而来的韦德外，几乎没有靠谱轮换；而西帝当年在篮网时期就客串过内线，身高和组织能力摆在那儿，顶一顶小球内线完全够用，正好能补上费城的短板~美记Evan Sidery随后补刀，76人已经在考虑迎回西帝，让后者扮演组织型内线。无独有偶，早在两年前，里奇-保罗就在节目中给西帝支过招，休战一年后改打挡拆型内线，他认为以西帝的球商和运动能力，打打替补中锋绰绰有余，兜兜转转两年过去，费城刚好就卡在了内线缺人的痛点上。

二 | 不过76人现阶段已经无力签下西帝或其他任何人，真想促成这场破镜重圆，还得先动手裁人腾岗才行。
