Young Thug Attorney’s Criminal Contempt Order Reversed By Georgia Supreme Court

Young Thug’s attorney Brian Steel won a ruling at the Georgia Supreme Court reversing a judge’s controversial ruling holding him in criminal contempt.

Given that Glanville’s presence at the secret meeting was directly involved in the dispute with Steel, the Supreme Court ruled that he should have recused himself and allowed another judge to decide the attorney’s fate. Thug ( Jeffery Williams) and dozens of others were indicted in May 2022 over allegations that his “YSL” was not really a record label called “Young Stoner Life” but rather a violent Atlanta gang called “Young Slime Life.” Citing Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) law, prosecutors claim the group operated a criminal enterprise that committed murders, carjackings, armed robberies, drug dealing and other crimes over the course of a decade. The bizarre episode, which resulted in weeks-long delay before Judge Paige Reese Whitaker took over, was slow-down in a massive trial that is already the longest in Georgia state history.
