A Georgia state lawmaker filed a lawsuit against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and others, alleging that the district attorney did not do enough to handle a case in which she was allegedly stalked.

Georgia Rep. Mesha Mainor, a Republican who switched from being a Democrat in 2020, alleged in her lawsuit against Ms. Willis, Commissioner Marvin Arrington, the Fulton County Ethics Board, and Fulton County, that they deprived her of certain rights after she requested a jury trial in a stalking case. Further, she alleged that both Mr. Arrington and Ms. Willis used their political connections to protect her alleged stalker.
