  • Sixty-One defendants are accused of participating in a racketeering conspiracy to halt the construction of a police and firefighter training facility outside Atlanta, known as 'Cop City'.
  • The case has been at a standstill for 20 months, with trial delays leaving people facing charges carrying up to 20 years in prison for what they maintain was legitimate protest.
  • Protests escalated after the fatal 2023 shooting of Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, known as Tortuguita, who officials said was killed after shooting and wounding a trooper, though a family-commissioned autopsy concluded Tortuguita was killed with their hands in the air.
