The racketeering trial against Jeffrey Williams, also known as Young Thug, and his co-defendants could be one of the longest criminal cases in Atlanta history. After 18 months, the prosecution has only made it part of the way through their witness list. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber looks back at some of the wildest and most controversial moments during the trial so far.

Young Thug faces nearly a dozen charges, including possession of drugs and weapons, participation in criminal street gang activity, and conspiracy to violate Georgia’s RICO Act. The rapper was arrested in May of 2022 along with 27 other alleged gang members. Many of those defendants have taken plea deals in the case. Fulton County prosecutors allege Young Thug, real name Jeffery Williams, is the leader of the YSL gang, short for “Young Slime Life.” Investigators claim the “criminal street gang” was responsible for violent gang activity across Atlanta and point to song lyrics, social media, clothing, photos, and body language as proof. Despite multiple efforts to get released from jail, Judge Ural Glanville denied Young Thug’s bond, and he will remain behind bars throughout his trial.

Are you kidding? He runs an ALL_NONSENSE trial
30 page paper? APA style at that!? Nah, I’ll take jail time.
😂Oh my goodness this was hysterical!!😭
This is no judge who runs a tight courtroom. That’s a man on a power trip. I hope he gets disbarred
As this trial goes on we learn more about the corruption of Fulton County DA and judges instead of the defendants
Why wasnt he supposed to hear that information in that particular time though thats ehat we STILL dont understand months later that judge is bad bad currupt currupt bye byee jail jail
I've noticed that many times when judges have sent somebody to jail for contempt for example 10 days but they've been released much earlier. Why's that?
Wait idk all the rules but when she recorded the jury selection process should not have the whole process been started over then?
entire trial is a soap opera
20 days in jail might be preferable to writing a 30 page paper.😂
Steele got the judge begging lol 💪🏽
Steele pressure lol
He’s the worst. Made that lady write a 30 page paper.
Reminder of how bad the last judge handled this trial. Smh
I don't think people get how much time. But you could put together clips of the lawyers and defendents habe changed over time.
This judge has taken kickbacks jow is he still a judge i could run a red light get a ticket and dont show up i will be pulled my car or home and arrested yet the proof of his misconduct is almost public records and no one does nothing must be nice to work for fani another lying backstabbing corrupt person
🤣🤣🤣
17:18 "You need to please tell me who you got it from" 🥺
See this mess here 😂😂😂😂 it’s genius!!! Because it’s going to end up as a mistrial!!
This is the worst Judge I have ever seen. He has misused his power hungry self way to much.
The Mother didn't bring in tobacco products…..they pulled the cameras it clearly exonerated her.
What a shitshow
A 30 page paper….wtf!
Bro this trail is silly throw everything away lol
An alleged gang member that doesn’t understand what the word “snitch” means. 😂😂 Oh Lawd…this trial is too much! 😂
Just send me to jail i aint writing no report
I couldn’t speak to that judge as nicely as those lawyers are. I mean, I’m going to take you down would be my comment.
Judges must remain impartial. Period. It’s their entire job. The judge Helping the state isn’t a fair trial. Duh
