Young Thug's RICO Trial Paused


Last month Atlanta rapper Young Thug's RICO trial attorney was jailed on contempt of court charges after refusing to tell presiding Judge Glanville how he found out there had been a secret meeting in judge's chambers with the prosecutor and the state's star witness [click here if you missed that]. 

Now the trial has been paused to determine whether or not Judge Glanville will remain on the case...

From WSBTV
The longest case in Georgia’s history has been put on hold.
The YSL RICO gang case against hip-hop superstar Young Thug and his alleged associates is paused until another court decides if the judge presiding over the case can remain on it.
Glanville’s decision comes after several defense attorneys filed motions asking that Glanville be recused from the trial after a private meeting between himself, prosecutors and a state witness.
It all happened on June 10. That’s when Glanville, prosecutors and Kenneth Copeland, one of the state’s key witnesses, met behind closed doors without any of the defense attorneys present.
Attorney Brian Steel, who is representing Williams, claimed they had no notice of the “secret” meeting. When he refused to answer Glanville where he heard about the meeting, the judge held Steel in contempt.
Right now, it’s unclear what another judge will make a decision, but in court Monday, Glanville reiterated that he didn’t do anything wrong.

The weight on him looks really good. He needs to keep this look up and turn it into muscle.

They might as well call it a “mistrial” at this point and release all parties involved‼️

@3:12...ikr cause at this point what is this trial about? Too many questions asked of too many witnesses from too long ago. Its too convoluted.

Let that man go. All that money spent on this circus of a case. Atlanta has so many other criminal problems. This pearl and lace wearing mumble rapper ain't it. Where is the accountability to the people for investing in real issues plaguing their communities?
