Georgia’s racketeering case against 61 opponents of Atlanta’s police training center remained in court during 2024. Defense lawyers challenged the indictment and the attorney general’s authority to bring it.
Update: Judge Kevin Farmer’s written dismissal order was issued on December 30, 2025, following his earlier decision. The ruling concerned the authorization required for the attorney general to prosecute the racketeering charge.
The order did not dismiss every charge facing every defendant. Separate domestic-terrorism and arson counts remained against some defendants.
The attorney general appealed, and the Georgia Court of Appeals agreed in February 2026 to hear the challenge. The earlier article incorrectly placed the dismissal in spring 2025 and described the racketeering case as conclusively over.
