Daysha Young, a Fulton County prosecutor, asked Powell how she pleaded to the six counts."Guilty," Powell said.Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee accepted the plea and said she could not withdraw it. She was sentenced to six years' probation, a $6,000 fine and $2,700 restitution. Powell will also be required to testify "truthfully" at future trials and write an apology letter to the people of the Peach State.
Release the Kraken, indeed.@mystery-ak
Molly McCann Sanders@molmccannSidney Powell is absolutely innocent. The fact that Fani Willis dropped all 7 felonies tells the tale. She had no case, but she did have the coercive power of the state.Criminal prosecution is crushing, and it has become clear that juries are no longer the protection to unjust prosecution they were created to be. Juries in these Democrat strongholds convict political opponents. It’s that chilling and simple. And the process of a trial alone is, as I say, crushing. She hasn’t “flipped.” She has made the right decision for herself and her family. The rest of us should be very afraid, though. Why should any successful lawyer put his or her head above the foxhole in future election struggles if the weaponized state can manufacture crimes to destroy them after the fact?My heart is heavy, because Sidney is a wonderful patriot and did not commit any crime. But I am also happy she can be done with this and come home to all of us who love her and can’t wait to hug her.11:24 AM · Oct 19, 2023
Jonathan Turley@JonathanTurleyThe plea of Sidney Powell to six misdemeanors will allow her to avoid jail and only face minor fines. What she did not plead guilty to was the racketeering conspiracy.....That was the most serious charge and tied in former president Donald Trump. She agreed to testify truthfully. She is no longer facing a threat of prosecution and can now testify freely. That could make her a dangerous witness for both sides.11:52 AM · Oct 19, 2023
Raheem@RaheemKassamCorporate media will crow about Sidney Powell's plea deal. But the fact she's being fined $6,000 and being made to write an apology letter suggests their case was not as strong as they originally believed... READ:QuoteProsecutors Drop Felony Charges Against Sidney Powell in Plea Deal Including $6000 Fine and ‘Apology Letter’.The National Pulse, Oct 19, 2023Lawyer Sidney Powell has agreed to plead guilty to reduced charges in Georgia related to efforts to resolve the 2020 election. Powell was charged with violating the state’s anti-racketeering law alongside Trump and 17 others, and entered the plea one day before jury selection was set to begin.

So she's required to turn state's evidence now.
Nope.
