His defense argues the indictment is dangerously vague, citing no specific actions and merely quoting statutes. This isn’t his first attempt; earlier motions also questioned the indictment’s validity, including the absence of a DA or assistant DA. Cole faces multiple counts with alleged crimes spanning 2022 to 2024. He’s not alone: Terral and Erica Jackson, indicted alongside him on similar charges, are also dealing with separate theft accusations. The case remains unresolved as Cole’s team continues to challenge the legal foundation of the charges. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
