After the Stop Cop City RICO failed, the GA AG is now prosecuting the Cobb County 3. What’s happening to Dr. Hannah Kass?

On April 24, 2026, the GA AG Chris Carr indicted 3 people in Cobb County for a protest that happened 47 months before. This same protest and group of defendants were included as an “overt act” in the massive RICO conspiracy in Fulton County.

The protest occurred on May 12, 2022. At the time, Dr. Kass was a PhD student researching social movements. She attended the protest, and police arrested her, as has occurred to hundreds of people who opposed Cop City. After being released on bond, the Cobb case was abandoned for almost 4 years.

This timeline is troubling:

• For this 2022 protest, the GA AG indicted Dr. Kass and her 2 co-defendants in August 2023 in Fulton County.
• The 2022 accusations were dismissed in December 2025.
• The AG then appealed the dismissal in February 2026.
• And then he indicted the Cobb County 3 for the same dismissed-and-appealed alleged conduct.

People’s Law Collective (PLC) is arguing that this violates Dr. Kass’ Due Process rights. The State of Georgia should not be allowed to take 2 bites at the apple. The Cobb indictment came days before the statute of limitations was set to expire, and only after another case for the same conduct was dismissed.

4 years later, Dr. Kass is a PhD. She has sued the officers who arrested her, but that case is frozen due to these unending criminal charges.

PLC will keep fighting against these political prosecutions!
