Young Thug RICO Trial Judge Blasts Atlanta Prosecutors for ‘Haphazard’ Case & ‘Poor Lawyering’
Young Thug’s trial judge blasted prosecutors over “poor lawyering" and a "haphazard" approach to the case.
The judge overseeing Young Thug ’s sprawling Atlanta gang trial appears to have reached her wits’ end with the prosecutors trying the case — complaining of “poor lawyering, “baffling” decisions and steps to repeatedly “hide the ball.” 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 trial kicked off in January 2023 but has faced repeated delays and disruptions, including an unprecedented 10-month jury selection, the stabbing of another defendant and a bizarre episode in which the presiding judge was removed from the case over a secret meeting with prosecutors.
