Judge in Young Thug’s RICO Trial Recused After Spat Over Secret Witness Meeting
Judge Ural Glanville, who presided over Young Thug’s RICO trial, was recused on Monday.
The motion to recuse the judge was brought by lawyers for Young Thug (real name Jeffrey Williams) and one of the rapper’s co-defendants, Deamonte “Yak Gotti” Kendrick. Considering the jury heard testimony from state’s witness Kenneth Copeland after June 12, the “rewind” could present grounds for a mistrial, Weinstein tells Rolling Stone. In the aftermath, Steel and the other defense attorneys repeatedly asked Glanville for a transcript of the meeting, arguing that any “inconsistent statements” made by Copeland could be used as exculpatory evidence during cross-examination.
