Still think this is just a game?

Racketeering expert aiding APS investigation | ajc.com
Atlanta lawyer John Floyd, who has served as a special prosecutor in a number of high-profile cases, is working with the District Attorney's Office as a grand jury investigates the scandal, lawyers familiar with the probe said.
It is unclear how close [Fulton County District Attorney Paul] Howard is to deciding whether to ask the grand jury to hand up indictments in the APS case. It also remains to be seen whether racketeering charges will be sought and, if so, who would be the possible targets. But bringing Floyd into the case shows the charges must be under consideration.
It's hard not to see this revelation as a direct response to the Dirty Quarter-Dozen's threat to sue over delays in scheduling their APS tribunals. Those delays, APS says, are because the DA's office hasn't released its evidence or decided whether and whom to prosecute to what degree.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing Cotman, Pitts and Williams face racketeering charges... unless it would be seeing them found guilty. That would be appropriate restitution. They should be well convinced by now that an APS tribunal is the least of their problems.
