Part 1: Doug Weinstein on YSL RICO Being His 1st Criminal Trial, Yak Gotti Charged for Nut's Death
--------
Yak Gotti's lawyer Doug Weinstein revealed his thoughts on Young Thug's recent legal predicament, suggesting that the rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, might have beaten the charges if he had seen his trial through instead of accepting a plea. Weinstein described the tense moments leading up to the decision, highlighting the impactful week when the judge pushed for negotiations over a possible mistrial. During these discussions, the prosecution's plea terms were reportedly unacceptable to Williams, effectively stifling his artistic career, prompting him to opt for a non-negotiated plea. This legal strategy involved pleading guilty without a prior arrangement with prosecutors, placing Young Thug's fate in the judge's hands. Ultimately, he avoided a potential 45-year sentence, receiving a favorable judgment of five years time served and 15 years' probation. Weinstein believes Young Thug acted with courage and criticized those who dismiss the plea as a cop-out, arguing that such decisions are made under immense pressure.
