The former US President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants have until Friday noon, Aug. 25 to voluntarily turn themselves in at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia.
On August 14, the District Attorney Fani Willis announced the prolific indictments, handed down by a special grand jury.
Willis provided Defendant Trump and the others more than 10 days to surrender so that the proper security measures could be put in place to safely handle booking a former president and other notable figures.
Trump's three other indictments in New York, Florida and Washington D.C. have attracted large gatherings of supporters and opponents outside of the courthouses.
Additionally, in the other cases, Trump's legal team and law enforcement negotiated a specific date for Trump to be arraigned.
There have been no indications that Trump or the others will not comply with the surrender window, but the question is still worth asking:
What happens if they do not surrender?
Normally, the law enforcement would hunt them, arrest them and bring them to Fulton County jail, assuming they were somewhere that officials had the jurisdiction to make such an arrest.
Arrest warrants have already been filed for Trump and the 18 others, so failing to surrender would make those warrants outstanding and could lead to additional charges.
Failing to surrender would also increase the chances of them being held in jail without bond due to the possibility of being a flight risk.
Definitely, Donald Trump is a coward and will most likely turn himself in before the Friday deadline.
