"
One of former President Donald Trump’s co-defendants has pleaded guilty to five counts in the 2020 election subversion case in Georgia.

Bail bondsman Scott Hall, 59, is the first defendant in the case brought by the Fulton County district attorney’s office to take a plea agreement with prosecutors.

The agreement, entered in Fulton County Superior Court on Friday afternoon, recommends a sentence of five years probation.

Hall was accused of conspiring to unlawfully access voter data and ballot counting machines at the Coffee County election office on January 7, 2021.

He spent hours inside a restricted area of the election office when voting systems were breached, which was connected to efforts by pro-Trump conspiracy theorists to find voter fraud. Hall was captured on surveillance video at the office on the day of the breach. He testified before the special grand jury in the Fulton County case and acknowledged that he gained access to a voting machine.

The sprawling racketeering case brought last month by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis accused Hall, Trump, and 17 others of participating in a broad conspiracy to overturn the election results in the Peach State.

Trump and the remaining 17 defendants have pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors in Willis’ office signaled earlier Friday that they may soon extend a plea deal to one or both of the two defendants headed to trial."

"Under the terms of the deal, Mr. Hall is to pay a $5,000 fine, surrender his firearms carry license, perform 200 hours of community service and write a letter of apology to the people of Georgia. He is not to participate in any activities related to the administration of elections, and he agreed to testify truthfully against other co-defendants if called upon to do so."

That might get interesting - for legal experts. GA no longer requires
a license to carry. However comma if he wants to carry in a
reciprocity state, he may have a problem. However comma again I've
carried in almost every state* and have never been asked to produce a
gun license.
*I'm reasonably sure that I've never carried in ND or HI or AK.

I'd guess as a bail bondsman, he realized a fantastic deal when it was offered? I hope he'll give insight into others besides just his "crimmies, who were " filmed inside where the votes were tallied?

Before they are released probationers have to agree to all sorts of conditions. One of them is usually that the probation department can search him, his home and his vehicles any time they feel like it. If he's half smart Mr. Hall will be living very carefully for the next 5 years.

The most important condition will be no alcohol and no associating with other felons, this two are the ones most often violated, mind you I can see the game plan here most of the rest will jump at this and plead guilty believing all they will get is probation and be surprised when the actual judgement comes down harsh, the real holdouts are the ones with the heavy jail time. It’s the carrot and stick justice.

I don't know what they're doing these days, but, in the past here, the no alcohol provision was usually only applied if the crime had involved drugs or alcohol in some way, or if the probationer had a history of drug use or alcohol problems of any sort. It would otherwise be unusual in this case for one simple reason. At this point Mr. Hall is not a felon. He pled guilty to misdemeanors. His probation will probably not interfere with his profession. Even if he violates his probation the worst that could happen is a year in the county jail. That isn't likely, unless he seriously screws up.

And because it's misdemeanors and not felonies, it will be as I said -
interesting for legal experts - which I'm pretty sure none of us are.
Depending on the exact terms of the plea deal, he may or may not be
able to carry a gun in GA - which as of recently, requires no license
- and he may or may not be able to possess a gun in his home (or car)
without a license, which has never required a license for as far back
as I can remember.
