Young Thug’s Lawyers Say Judge ‘Morphed’ Into Prosecutor: ‘Potential Criminal Conduct’
In a blistering new filing, Young Thug's lawyer Brian Steel accuses Judge Ural Glanville of 'ethical violations and potential criminal conduct.'
In a blistering new court filing obtained by Rolling Stone, Young Thug’s defense lawyers Brian Steel and Keith Adams say Judge Glanville must be disqualified from handling the high-profile case after he engaged in an “improper, secret and coercive pressure campaign” with prosecutors on June 10 to get key prosecution witness Kenneth “Woody” Copeland to testify. The highly controversial meeting, which excluded defense lawyers, focused on Copeland’s ongoing refusal to testify even after he was granted use immunity and spent a weekend in jail for getting on the witness stand on a Friday and still invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Steel and Adams claim Glanville misled Copeland, improperly dispensed legal advice, and made biased statements that presumed Williams could draw on insider knowledge of other criminal endeavors during cross-examination.
