Update: Rapper YoungThug is Coming HOME
- Thread starter DC_Dude

The way this is going I think Ashanti and Nellys child might end up being a replacement juror in this trial.
I finally got caught up on this case when I saw this Brian Simpson clip. I didn't realize it was Fanni Willis attached to this case. Sound like the DA's office and judge is some messy muthafuckas(corrupt as fuck) in Atlanta. How this people still have law licenses is beyond me. 
Young Thug Trial Is A "Dumpster Fire" According To Georgia's Former Judicial Chair
Lester Tate referred specifically to the dispute over Judge Ural Glanville's recusal dilemma in the Young Thug and YSL RICO case.

Damn
So it's not going to be a mistrial.
The case has been reassigned to Judge Shukura L. Ingram:
An article explaining it:

I think this is going to end up working against Young Thug, the other defendants and tbeir attorneys.
The previous judge appeared to have lost control of the courtroom (it reminds me of Judge Ito and the O.J. trial) which meant he let a lot of shit slide and was too laxed IMO.
A new judge stepping into this case after it already been ongoing for so long and who also just witnessed her predecessor be recused and embarrassed publicly will probably be far more stringent and no nonsense in comparison.

Order in the Court! New Young Thug, YSL judge establishes new rules for court

A new judge has been assigned to the massive Young Thug and YSL trial in Fulton County after the original judge was recused for an ex parte meeting, and the second judge recused herself. This new judge, however, is not messing around.
"I don't want to get into any substantive arguments today because we don't have the parties themselves here," she told attorneys.
Starting on time
The first thing Judge Whitaker did was make it clear that court would start promptly at 8:45 a.m. and end at 6 p.m. daily, though Fridays might be half days depending on the tasks at hand.
"I'm thinking 8:45 to 6 and when I say 8:45, I mean 8:45. I intend to take the bench at 8:45," Judge Whitaker said.
Judge Whitaker also said that she knew some defendants had several attorneys, but if one attorney was present, court would go forward.
"I don't want to be waiting around until 9:30," Judge Whitaker emphasized.
Next, she addressed concerns raised by individuals associated with the trial.
Food in the Courtroom
Judge Whitaker stated that everyone is welcome to have water or any drink they prefer, provided they aren't clumsy and avoid spilling it everywhere. However, food will no longer be allowed in the courtroom unless the court is working through lunch or dinner.
"No snacking during the trial. If we're working through lunch or it's late and it's dinner time, it will be okay for the attorneys or the defendants to have food, but not while someone is on the stand testifying. This isn't a movie theater. We’re not eating popcorn," she explained.
Defendants' Clothing
Judge Whitaker mentioned that deputies had informed her that the clothing situation had become excessive. Some defendants appeared to have wardrobes full of clothes, which was cumbersome for the deputies to manage.
"Let’s make sure it gets whittled down to a manageable amount. There are only five days in a week, so even if they had a different outfit each day, that would only be five outfits. We shouldn’t have 20 different outfits for anyone. Clear out the closet," she instructed.
Use of AirPods
The judge also banned the use of AirPods in court, noting that they raised security concerns. Initially, someone suggested they were to prevent defendants from being bored.
"Well, we won’t be bored from here on out," she quipped. She added that if AirPods were needed for listening to interviews or other legitimate purposes, this should be done before court, and any scheduling issues should be communicated to her.
Courtroom Disruptions
Judge Whitaker asked the lawyers to conduct court in a manner that minimizes disruptions, though she didn't specify what those disruptions might be.
Witnesses and Evidence
Finally, Judge Whitaker instructed the prosecutors that attorneys must provide lists of witnesses and summaries of their testimony. All evidence, especially extensive items like audio or video recordings, must be reviewed and their admissibility determined before being presented in court. Any missing reports or discovery materials need to be listed and addressed promptly.
Additionally, given the number of witnesses that the state plans to call, Judge Whitaker made it clear that she expects the actual testimony of witnesses to move along quickly.
"I expect you to have your next witness ready to go. I don't want there to be a five-minute pause between one witness getting off the stand and the next witness getting on the stand," Judge Whitaker instructed.
Who is Judge Whitaker?
Judge Whitaker is a former Fulton County prosecutor, who also worked at the state Attorney General's Office. She has been a judge in Fulton County since 2017.
Judge Whitaker received her Bachelor of Arts from College of Charleston and her Juris Doctor from Duke University School of Law.
Her professional experience and associations include Board of Governors for State Bar of Georgia, Georgia Womens' Policy Institute, Lawyers Club of Atlanta, past chair of the Fulton County Juvenile Court Citizens' Review Committee, ambassador for the Pink Ribbon Story Foundation, and sustainer for Junior League of Atlanta.
Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, and his co-defendants were indicted in 2022.
Following the longest jury selection in history (10 months), the trial got underway in November 2023.
At 18 months and counting, it is the longest trial in Georgia history. The trial has been plagued by various disruptions, including illnesses, the arrests of a juror and lawyer, the stabbing of defendant Shannon Stillwell, and various other disruptions.
There are 5 others on trial with Williams. They are Marquavius Huey, Deamonte Kendrick (known as Yak Gotti), Quamarvious Nichols, Rodalius Ryan and Shannon Stillwell.

This might be just what this case needed.
From what I watched the defense was taking advantage of the previous judge who didn't seem to know how to rein shit in including Woody and the defense lawyers which they took full advantage of.
I think those lawyers are going to regret having that judge removed when it's all said and done.
Right.
Be careful what you ask for..... This judge is no nonsense and a lot of that previous shit won't fly.
This shit needs to wrap up one way or another. Been going on for well over a year.
Speaking of. Did yall see the recent releases shooting video of Thugs ops YFN LUCCI boy catching one in the dome ? Lucci just had just copped a Maybach SUV , left the dealership in same car to do the shooting. Fani wrote a letter in support of him to drop the case...that broad is something else man
So basically thug finna come home
No way in hell.
The only people who benefit from a mistrial are the defendents lawyers who'll get to start the clock all over again to charge them for a new trial while also benefiting from the publicity of getting a mistrial.
But IMO it's been made clear thar Thug and his people are just as dangerous as they've been accused of being and are but have benefitted from the prosecutors mistakes and from a judge who I think found himself in the same position the judge in OJ's case was in meaning he couldn't effectively control the trial due to the intense scrutiny.
I highly doubt Thug walks and if the prosecutors in Georgia pass on a new trial I'd fully expect the FEDS to step in which would be 10x worse for them.
There best bet is to ride this trial out which will be their best chance at a hung jury or outright acquittal.
