Defense attorneys for David Taylor and Michelle Brannon are seeking to dismiss an indictment related to allegations that Kingdom of God Global Church used call centers for forced labor. They argue that evidence shows ministers joined voluntarily, while federal prosecutors cited more than 45 terabytes of discovery, including documents and video recordings detailing the charges against the leaders.
