An Atlanta judge has put rapper Young Thug’s trial on racketeering charges on hold indefinitely after his lawyers asked the judge to recuse himself over misconduct allegations.
The lawyers said Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville held an “improper” meeting on 10 June when he met privately with prosecutors and a key witness.
Defence attorneys have alleged that Judge Glanville sought to pressure the witness into testifying and they pressed him to recuse himself, motions which the judge had denied.
Judge Glanville announced from the bench on Monday that he would release the private meeting’s transcript and send the recusal motions to another judge.
I recently saw the video of Young Thugs lawyer complaining about the mistreatment he has been receiving during this case. The private meetings were mentioned. Kind of crazy how all of this is playing out.
And to think, he was never even president of the United States!
Unless Young Thug is a domestic terrorist this shouldn’t be headlining news
The official misconduct that happened during this trial by the government is absolutely headline news.
They didn’t read anything but the headline
