https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/20/politics/kenneth-chesebro-georgia-election-subversion/index.html
The single felony charge Chesebro has agreed to plead guilty to is Count 15 of the indictment: conspiracy to file false documents.
Prosecution recommends 5 years probation. Other conditions include $5,000 restitution, 100 hours community service, & apology letter.
