Atlanta, GA: Young Thug’s racketeering trial in Atlanta is now open after a recent incident in which a defendant was stabbed.
On Monday, witness evidence in the Young Thug racketeering trial resumed after a break. The reason for the break in the trial was a medical emergency.
Shannon Stillwell, a defendant, was stabbed by another inmate at the Fulton County Jail. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville confirmed this during the trial.
Willie Brown, an inmate who is facing many charges, struck Stillwell on the evening of December 10. Brown is charged with aggravated assault and murder.
The trial has already faced many delays owing to the complications involved in the case. The prosecution is getting ready for more witness evidence in the case against Jeffery Williams, better known as Young Thug and his associates.
This trial is being called Georgia’s longest trial. Judge Glanville has even suggested that court meetings be held on the weekends to cut down on wait times as per Atlanta News First.
Rapper Young Thug is accused of several crimes, such as racketeering, drug possession with the intent to distribute, and multiple gun violations. He is facing the trial in Atlanta.
Atlanta News First reported that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office sent in a long list of witnesses, with 153 names on it. Weinstein has said that the length of the trial is not acceptable because he is worried about the jury’s health and ability to keep going through the complicated legal fight.
The trial is the center of interest for both legal and hip-hop enthusiasts as they closely follow the trial.
