Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis testified yesterday, providing insight into her living arrangements and the reasons behind them. During her testimony, she stated that she had moved into a condo, referred to as the Yerti condo, sometime between late February and April 2021 for safety reasons. Willis explained that her father was concerned about her safety due to various threats and security concerns related to her involvement in police brutality cases and gang cases.
The Yerti condo, located in Hapeville, was chosen as a safer alternative to her previous residence. Willis revealed that her address had been exposed, leading to concerns about potential danger at her house. She recounted instances where people had come to her house early in the morning, warning her about wake-up calls and making security threats. As a result, her father insisted on her leaving the house for her own safety.
However, Willis clarified that her father continued to live at their former residence due to his concerns about COVID-19. Despite her urging, he opted to stay, leading to ongoing safety concerns for anyone staying at the house. While Willis couldn't provide specific details about her children's presence at the house during that period, she mentioned that her oldest daughter had stayed at the house on some occasions.
Moving on to her time at the Yerti condo, Willis stated that she primarily lived there alone, emphasizing that it was a lonely period in her life. She mentioned that her oldest daughter may have stayed there for a girl's night, but apart from that, she did not recall anyone else living with her. When asked about visits from prosecutors, Willis confirmed that Nathan Wade, a member of the prosecution team, had visited her at the condo several times. However, she did not remember the exact number of visits from Wade.
Regarding Anna Cross, another member of the prosecution team, Willis stated that she did not believe Cross had ever visited the condo. She further confirmed that no other prosecutors involved in the case had visited her there. Willis reiterated that despite any potential visits from prosecutors, her time at the Yerti condo was marked by profound loneliness and a sense of isolation.
Throughout her testimony, Willis expressed her gratitude for being entrusted with her role as a district attorney. However, she also admitted feeling guilt and acknowledged the tough and lonely nature of the job. The testimony shed light on the circumstances surrounding Willis' living arrangements and the safety concerns that prompted her move to the Yerti condo.
