Young Thug’s trial has transformed into a drama playing out in Fulton County Superior Court about allegations of a corrupt judge and witness tampering.
It was the latest twist in Young Thug’s trial, which has transformed into a drama playing out in Georgia’sSuperior Court about allegations of a corrupt judge, the arrest of the rapper’s attorney, and the prospect of a mistrial in a complex racketeering case eating up enormous public resources.
Young Thug and 27 co-defendants were hit with a slew of felonies in addition to the RICO charge, including murder, armed robbery, and illegal possession of firearms. When the trial finally did begin, the number of co-defendants had been whittled down to six. All have pleaded not guilty to their charges.
But what raised more alarm than the meeting was Glanville’s reaction when he was confronted about it. Attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who was at the forefront of the effort to oust Willis from Trump’s trial, entered the picture on Tuesday and asked Glanville to clarify his contempt charges against Steel.Merchant, the president of the Georgia Association Criminal Defense Lawyers, told the judge that roughly two dozen other attorneys wanted to appear as a “strike force” with her at the courthouse in support of Steel, but the judge said room would not allow it.
