    In May 2022, Young Thug and 26 others were arrested on a 55-count indictment, including RICO charges. The trial has already taken almost 11 months to select a jury and is expected to last numerous months. With the length of this case, the roadblocks in this first week have already frustrated Judge Ural Glanville, including errors made by the prosecution in opening statements. This case has already had some wild moments in court. This week, I break down the charges, the law, the controversy, and the unusual moments.

    • @yesitschelle

      @ValorWarrior5258 7 місяців тому

      But, the lack of evidence of the “ criminal gang “ allegations are falling flat. In NONE of the police reports were a gang or gang activity, or even suspected gang activity was ever noted: but they testify in direct that a well known gang called YSL is part of this, until on cross, they admit, there was no mention of anything pertaining to a gang at the time they were involved in the actual incident, and they are asked to identify the person they are testifying about, and look around and see the person is NOT actually a defendant in this trial! Not very good evidence, if I am a juror sitting there.

    I had never heard of this guy or this gang. I’m not exactly a fan of rap and don’t pay any attention to what’s happening in most of America as I’m 🇨🇦Canadian. Having said that, to see the prosecution failing to turn over ,materials that the court had ordered and watching her attempt to shift the burden to the defense was appalling! The judge was more than a little displeased and if it has carried on, then the prosecution are going to blow this case.

      @Peacekeepa317 7 місяців тому

      Sensible people know the prosecutor is doing just fine. Anybody think she isn't is likely biased as a fan, trying to virtue signal and/or has never been in legal trouble and don't understand how a case is built. If you think the defense argument that Young Thug is a choir boy studio gangster is going to work.... you're not in your right mind. Look at how it went today. The body language of the 911 operator. Because she is hearing all that violence daily. Calls coming from the same area over and over again. The defense disgusts her. As it does anybody else that actually cares about the effect these people's crimes have had on where they have to live and raise kids.
