‘Justice for all’ fuels Will Wooten’s post-Fulton / Trump bench run
Former Fulton County prosecutor, candidate for Georgia Court of Appeals, Will Wooten, joined the Ron Show last Thursday.
His Georgia Court of Appeals judicial candidacy garners enough attention for Will Wooten because he is who he is on two fronts: he’s an out gay man in the South, and a former Fulton County prosecutor, having worked with Fani Willis’ office to prosecute Donald Trump and his band of co-conspirators for attempting to overturn the 2020 Presidential election results here in Georgia.
While AJC op/ed writer Bill Torpy likens his attempted ascent to part of a ‘Fani Willis revenge tour,’ Will comes with a kind of value set his upbringing and his insight into marginalization that not many white men in the legal profession have insight into.
Hear our discussion and see if you can pick up on that foundation coming through with his words and deeds.
