The 19 co-conspirators indicted by a Fulton County grand jury must turn themselves in at the county jail before the August 25th deadline, the sheriff’s office stated, where they will be processed, including having their fingerprints and mug shots taken, CBS News reports.
Fulton County is slightly different than many jurisdictions in that the booking and processing happen at the jailhouse, not the courthouse, located about five miles away. Processed defendants are then typically transported to the courthouse for arraignment hearings, although it is unknown if Trump and the other defendants would be brought by sheriff’s deputies or other transportation to the courthouse.
Adding to the havoc of Trump’s latest indictment is that the jail is open around the clock, allowing defendants to surrender themselves at any time, making Trump Perp Walk Watch more difficult. “Keep in mind, defendants can turn themselves in at any time. The jail is open 24/7,” the sheriff’s office said.
