Sailor Anarres<p>"The stakes are high. Every person in the bureaucratic institutions that are trying to put Ayla in prison must know that they won’t be able to do it without publicity or consequence.</p><p>The office of the Georgia Attorney General does not process nearly as large a caseload as the county courts. They are not especially well-equipped to prosecute a big, complex case like this. As a public office, they are required to answer the phone and to open and read all incoming mail. Despite being a public official, Fowler hates publicity. He has repeatedly complained to the court about an instance when a journalist took photos of him while he was accompanying defendants and their lawyers on a tour of the Cop City site, falsely describing the incident as “doxxing” even though he was engaged in his official duties as a representative of the state. When Fowler’s incompetence is exposed, he tends to throw his subordinates under the bus—for example, making assistant Attorney General Hallie Dixon face the judge to apologize for violating attorney-client privilege through illegal searches.</p><p>Of course, it’s not just Chris Carr and his lackey Fowler behind this political prosecution. They’re doing the dirty work for the Atlanta Police Foundation and the whole corrupt apparatus of city and county politicians who have a shared interest in quelling all dissent and civil unrest. All those who care about freedom should concern themselves with the outcome of Ayla’s trial. You can do this from afar by publicizing the proceedings, ordering pizza or otherwise supporting the rallies outside court, or doing research into the ones who are pressing these absurd charges and what their vulnerabilities might be."</p><p><a href="https://crimethinc.com/2025/07/06/the-trial-of-ayla-king-the-first-of-the-stop-cop-city-rico-cases-goes-to-trial" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">crimethinc.com/2025/07/06/the-</span><span class="invisible">trial-of-ayla-king-the-first-of-the-stop-cop-city-rico-cases-goes-to-trial</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/atlanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atlanta</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/stopcopcity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stopcopcity</span></a></p>
