A Young Thug mistrial is possible as the judge weighs ending the Atlanta RICO trial after a witness revealed sensitive information to the jury.
Prince Williams/Wireimage’s long-running Atlanta gang trial, a move that would require prosecutors to either start from scratch or drop a case that has already lasted more than two years.
At Wednesday’s hearing, Whitaker refused outright to declare a mistrial with prejudice, which would have permanently ended the case. But she said she would consider doing so, meaning prosecutors could attempt to retry their case from scratch in front of a new jury.
While on the stand, prosecutors asked Lee to identify certain defendants by showing him social media posts. While reading one of the posts, Lee read aloud the hashtag #freequa — a reference to a previous prison sentence for Marquavius Huey , one of Thug’s current co-defendants.
