Fulton County jury finds Deamonte Kendrick and Shannon Stillwell not guilty
after her prosecution of the YSL gang — Georgia ’s longest-running trial — ended with the acquittals of the last two defendants in the case.
Stillwell was sentenced to 10 years — the maximum penalty for the gun charge. But he will receive credit for the two years he’s already served and can serve the balance of the time while on probation. Nine of the defendants pleaded out before trial started, another four — including Williams — copped to their crimes during trial, and another 12 still have cases pending. The final defendant had his charges dropped after he was convicted in an unrelated murder case.
The state’s top court stepped in to grant Steel bond while he appealed Glanville’s ruling. The judge ultimately recused himself. He also accused the DA’s office of cherry-picking evidence including social media posts and allegedly unreliable witness testimony while the group were simply using music to lift themselves out of financial struggles and rough upbringings.Defense attorney Max Schardt admitted his client, Stillwell, had broken the law in the past to survive on the tough streets of Atlanta — rather than trying to advance the goals of the YSL gang.
