Young Thug and his legal team recently asked a judge to suppress statements Thugger made while in police custody during an involuntary interrogation. Now, questions from Young Thug and his legal team for the jurors on the YSL RICO case have surfaced.
Questions created by Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel were made for potential jurors to spot a possible bias towards rappers. One of the questions asked, “Do you associate Hip Hop artists/rappers with criminal behavior or believe they break the law more than average citizens?” Another question found Steel asking “Some people believe that artists who perform rap music, including ‘gangsta rap,’ may commit crimes or violent acts to enhance their image or promote their career. What do you think?”
At one point, jurors were asked to share if they had any experience with crime in their past, including possible arrests. The question posed said, “Have you known anyone who has been murdered or died as a result of a crime?” A portion of the questionnaire from Young Thug’s legal team addressed how high-profile the case is and found them saying, “There is nothing wrong with having read, seen or heard something about the case. However, we need to know what, if anything, you have read, seen, or heard.” Take a look above.
