Young Thug Trial: Last Pending Mistrial Motion Denied, Testimony to Resume Monday

The RICO trial of Young Thug and his co-defendants will resume Monday with more testimony after the new judge denied the final pending mistrial motion

The trial with Williams, Kendrick and four other co-defendants started to publicly implode on June 10 when Steel confronted Judge Glanville about his meeting with Copeland and Fulton County Deputy District Attorneys Adriane Love and Simone Hylton. Once Judge Whitaker was handed the reins the same week as the recusal, she immediately promised to move forward “efficiently and expeditiously.” On July 30, she made good on that vow, issuing a number of oral rulings from the bench. She then denied two other mistrial motions: one from Steel based on alleged prosecutor misconduct and judicial bias; and one from the defense lawyer for defendant Quamarvious Nichols that argued it was too late in the process for a new judge to take control of the trial.
