How often does one reimburse a boyfriend for trips?

My married parents who are in their 80s have always kept separate accounts and settled up "debts" monthly. For what it is worth they grew up in Jim Crow Georgia. Could just be a survival tactic they learned growing up???

Well, let me add that when I was a kid I went digging around their dresser and found a wooden cigar box with a few thousand dollars and a loaded .38 inside. Dad was career Army and Mom was a school teacher. There are a lot of regular ordinary people who keep cash and protection at home. At least down south where my family is from

A conflict is when a member of the prosecution has a family member in the defense. Or if there is a financial relationship between the two parties.

Having people on the same side with a financial relationship or personal relationship is not a conflict.

This whole sideshow is a sham.

I am also confused on this. I asked a question 20 pages ago and no one answered. I saw a news commentator who said to prevail on removing her, they need to prove (1) she benefitted financially (which is an issue of fact to decide on credibility of witnesses, which she probably yes, received some benefit; but also (2) that unfairly prejudices the defendant. Even if (1) is a slam dunk, what evidence has there been on (2)? Was the commentator wrong on the elements to be proven? Because it anything, it helps the defendant because it seems that Wade isn't as experienced as other attorneys she could have gotten.

Men, when they are dating, typically pay for the couple and don't expect repayment.

Some women accept this while others pay their own way. They don't expect receipts if they pay someone back, whether a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Receipts are helpful to prove your case when repayment is in the form of cash. Or, bank statements to prove payments.
As the attorney today said.... Anyone who had worked a money laundering case knows that "I paid cash" is a red flag.

According to Georgia Code, this defines conflict of interest:

Conflict of interest” means an individual has multiple interests and uses his or her official position to exploit, in some way, his or her position for his or her own direct, unique, pecuniary, and personal benefit.

And, the first attorney up - John Merchant pointed out that Fani Willis, as a public employee, is expected to maintain records as to gifts, etc.
She did not do that. She said she paid cash, but has no record of it.

My nephew buys cars with cash a few times per year. Mechanic. Fixes and flips. Where he lives people just want to get on with business. Nobody is writing out receipts.

He may have issues if the IRS comes knocking.

Fani Willis is a government employee and as such, should be maintaining impeccable records when it comes to her expenditures and gifts.
She has failed in that regard.

She probably does. Since there were no gifts here, there was nothing to record or track. The defense, which has the burden here, has not proven anything to the contrary.

The trips that Wade paid for appear to be gifts unless she can demonstrate that she indeed paid him back. She has no proof. She has no records. As a government employee, she should.

The burden is on the defense, not Ms. Willis, to the claim.

Yet, as a public employee - she failed to keep records to confirm her claim.

What kind of records do you keep for your cash expenditures? How was she supposed to know that right wing investigators would be snooping around her private life years later in a court case?

That is such an unrealistic requirement. Again, the defense has the burden of proof here and they have none. It isn't up to her to help them out.

I am not a public employee who hired my affair partner to prosecute a case and paid him nearly $700,000.
So, your question is irrelevant.

I love how the partisan hacks act like her swinging $700,000 public cash to a boyfriend is insignificant. Most Americans can’t even come up with $1,000 bucks cash for an emergency.

My boyfriend and I never did it that way.

Yet Ms. Willis is payed by the taxpayer and expect a higher level of ethics. Gifts are recorded. Receipts are made. Ms. Willis is not a mechanic.

he wasn't an affair partner at the time and according to first hand testimony of two other witnesses called by the defense, he was her third choice as a hire.

At least 2 witnesses refute that statement.

She did not do that. She said she paid cash, but has no record of it.

She didn't benefit in any way if, as her testimony suggests, she paid her own way. Hence no need for a record because there was no gift.

Right now, the receipts and evidence show that Wade paid for trips and outings for Fani that total over $15,000.
She claims to have paid Wade back - in cash.
As a public employee, especially a person in her position - she should have a record of such a repayment. She doesn't. He doesn't.

How do you feel about Clarence Thomas? Because there is a lot more evidence about HIS improprieties and actual conflicts of interest.

I'll express my views on that thread.
This one is about Fani Willis.
