If the judge was a coward, then yes. If there was a fix, then no. This tells us that there isn't some deep control of the court systems in Georgia (outside of the Republicans nominating everyone). There is democratic control over the counties where democrats have a majority of, just like everywhere else. That's what happened here, and I expect things to be fine going forward.
Also important to note is that this is about another month and a half of delay on any trial, a trial for which Jury selection would take months. I don't think the trial could conclude prior to the General Election even if everything from now on goes more or less Fani's way.
Also, the delay gives Georgia time to use it's other method to stop this, something Kemp has been behind: a new law where the Georgia state government gets some control over local DAs and can dismiss them or some such.
