The Young Thug trial offers a glimpse into Georgia's Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations case against Donald Trump.
The trial of rapper Young Thug is a good indicator of what might happen in the Georgia trial of Donald Trump, a lawyer has said.The slow-moving, drama-filled trial of Young Thug is now the longest running in Georgia state history. Like Trump, Young Thug is charged under Georgia's Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, which is designed to tackle organized crime. Fani Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, which covers most of Atlanta, is prosecuting both cases.
Newsweek sought email comment from Glanville and from Donald Trump's attorney on Monday.Lat said that the Young Thug trial has been moving extremely slowly, which may be a reflection of how the Trump trial will be conducted.'Young Thug's trial began in January 2023—yes, 2023—and picking a jury took 10 months. Opening statements happened last November, and now, seven months later, the prosecution is maybe halfway through its witness list,' he added.
