Legal scope of an indictment?

Right, I believe those other acts are distinct from the charged counts, and are not being prosecuted by the prosecutor in this hypothetical, anonymous county. Instead, they may be mentioned because this particular anonymous state's RICO statute has a threshold question of whether the charged criminal acts were isolated or were part of an ongoing pattern of activity, and the statute allows taking account of conduct elsewhere, conduct that hasn't been criminally charged, even conduct that on its own may not always be criminal, when it reveals a pattern of conduct in furtherance of the charged criminal enterprise.

The details on how the law works would probably be found in the hypothetical state's RICO statute.

 

There are so many layers to this case .

That's an argument the lawyers for former White House chief of staff is making in their likely failed effort to have his case moved to federal court. His lawyers rightly argue that his work to defraud the voters of Georgia happened at the White House and that there's precedent for state's not having the right to charge and convict federal leaders who are doing there job. However, the chief of staff's work in Georgia didn't require him to be in the state to break state laws, which is in part why RICO laws and wire fraud laws were created: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/08/17/mark-meadows-georgia-charges-federal-court/70613283007/

Likely the bigger issue happens on or before next Friday when a judge has to determine if Trump is released on bail when Georgia law doesn't allow that if there's evidence that the defendent will tamper with witnesses and the trial and there's evidence that he does that almost daily. And if they really do lock him up his braindead fans will go crazy while the majority will celebrate. And I'm sure Fulton County is more concerned about Trump fans going crazy rather than the rest of us celebrating that its finally over for good.

 

And specific to Georgia's RICO law "ongoing pattern of activity" means it only has to happen twice, whereas in other jurisdictions it has to be more than twice to be valid."

But more importantly there's a mandatory 5 year sentence on the primary charge against these 19 people and Georgia doesn't allow their governor or a US president to pardon people. Only their parole board has that authority.
