It was captured during a court session where Chesebro agreed to a plea bargain offered by the Fulton County district attorney at the Fulton County Courthouse on October 20, 2023, in Atlanta.

Attorney Kenneth Chesebro is asking a court in Georgia to invalidate his guilty plea in the beleaguered but ongoing racketeering (RICO) and election interference case out of Fulton County.

Chesebro is widely known as one of the authors of the so-called “coup memos” that offered legal opinions on how Donald Trump could overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in a “constitutionally defensible manner.” Specifically, the New York attorney was a chief architect of the alternate or “fake” electors plan.

For that plan, Chesebro was charged with a total of seven counts in the wide-ranging indictment filed by embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Those charges included one alleged RICO violation, one count of conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writing, and one count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents.

In October 2023, days before his case was slated to go to trial, Chesebro pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents – in exchange for Willis dropping the six other counts. As part of his deal, Chesebro agreed to testify for the state against the remaining defendants and received a sentence of five years probation, 100 hours of community service and a $5,000 fine.

Now, second thoughts have been formalized.
