Yak Gotti's lawyer Doug Weinstein disclosed a clandestine ex parte meeting involving a judge, the prosecution, and a Lil Woody. Weinstein, alongside prominent defense attorney Brian Steele and others, learned about the meeting after the fact, sparking outrage among the defense team. The disclosure came from an insider present at the meeting, raising questions about transparency in legal proceedings.
Weinstein recounted the intense courtroom exchange where Brian Steele confronted the judge regarding this covert meeting. In a dramatic turn of events, Steele was arrested for contempt of court when he refused to reveal the informant's identity. Legal experts criticized the arrest, emphasizing Steele's integrity and adherence to legal ethics.
The fallout contributed to Judge Glanville's recusal and the appointment of Judge Whitaker, marking a pivotal shift in the trial's trajectory. According to Weinstein, Whitaker restored procedural fairness by strictly adhering to legal protocols, contrasting with perceived bias under Glanville's tenure.
