Prosecutors in the YSL RICO trial involving Young Thug have requested a ban on filming and photographing witnesses testifying on the stand, citing online threats and doxing incidents. The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office filed a motion, stating that witnesses, including law enforcement officers, have experienced online threats and doxing. They referred to an incident where a forensic analyst's testimony was live-streamed with menacing commentary in the chat, leading to an ominous text message to the witness, requiring law enforcement intervention. The defense attorney criticized the motion as an attempt to undermine the defendants and an attack on the First Amendment.
