About that “Fictitious” Fulton County Filing [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

According to Fulton County it was just a mistake:
The county explained Tuesday that, in anticipation of "a potentially large indictment," Fulton County Clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts, Che Alexander "used charges that pre-exist" to test the system and "conduct a trial run."
"Unfortunately, the sample working document led to the docketing of what appeared to be an indictment, but which was, in fact, only a fictitious docket sheet," the county said in its release.
"Because the media has access to documents before they are published, and while it may have appeared that something official had occurred because the document bore a case number and filing date, it did not include a signed 'true' or 'no' bill nor an official stamp with Clerk Alexander's name, thereby making the document unofficial and a test sample only."
