District Attorney Fani Willis sent a letter Thursday sent a letter to county Superior Court Chief Judge Ural Glanville indicating that she plans to have much of her staff work remotely for most days during the first three weeks of August and asking that judges not schedule trials and in-person hearings during part of that time. Copied in on the letter are 20 other county officials, including Sheriff Pat Labat, Fulton City Police Chief W. Wade Yates, the court clerk, and top leaders.
"Thank you for your consideration and assistance in keeping the Fulton County Judicial Complex safe during this time," Willis wrote in the letter, which was obtained by FOX 5.

Willis last month wrote local law enforcement leaders advising them that she intended to announce charging decisions in the case between July 11 and Sept. 1. Thursday’s letter seems to narrow that window. In the earlier letters she advised law enforcement to prepare for "heightened security," noting that the announcement of charges "may provoke a significant public reaction."
