Young Thug RICO Trial to Resume After Judge Refuses to Declare Mistrial Over Secret Meeting
Young Thug’s RICO trial will resume after a judge rejected a mistrial, though she also admonished prosecutors for suppressing evidence.
Young Thug ’s sprawling Atlanta gang trial is set to resume after the judge denied requests to declare a mistrial — though she also admonished prosecutors for suppressing evidence and ordered them to take remedial training on due process requirements. 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. In their mistrial motions, defense attorneys have argued that the secret meeting violated the so-called Brady rule — a core requirement in American criminal law that prosecutors must hand over evidence that might help defendants.
