The YSL RICO trial began today, and out the gate, Young Thug’s lawyer, Brian Steel, called out prosecutors for intentional misconduct, which caused the case’s judge—Ural Glanville to excuse jurors while the issues were resolved in the court.
Glanville would go on to reject Thug’s lawyer’s request for a mistrial but called out the prosecution and Thug’s team as well. The judge said: “I’ve got a jury that’s out right now that’s being interrupted. And Mr. Williams, you should’ve made your motion or should’ve told me about that an hour ago or when you found out about it, not hijack me at the bench about that. You did what you had to do, but I’m not happy about that.”
The judge expressed not being okay with the decisions made on both sides, saying, “I’m not happy about any of this because this is stuff we could take care of before our jury comes in. And that makes you all less in your ability as advocates and less in our ability for this jury to go ahead and get this case seamlessly. This is what I told you all was [going to] happen.”
