Judge Halts Young Thug Trial In Georgia Following Complaints Of Misconduct

The legal proceedings for the YSL RICO case involving Young Thug and his associates have been suspended until further notice. The trial will remain on hold until a different judge determines if Judge Ural Glanville should have recused himself from overseeing the case.

As we previously reported, lawyers representing the rapper Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, formally requested the removal of Judge Glanville from the case by filing a motion for recusal. Thug’s reasoning for this move is similar to his attorney Brian Steel, who was recently found in contempt for raising concerns about potential misconduct by the judge. If you remember, Steel alleged that Judge Glanville may have conducted a private meeting with defendant Kenneth “YSL Woody” Copeland without the presence of others, a situation that Young Thug and his team are objecting to.

Interestingly, the judge did not deny the occurrence of the meeting. Instead, he attempted to have Steel jailed for failing to disclose how he obtained this information.

Young Thug is also advocating for a mistrial, although his efforts have not yielded much success thus far. In the meantime, Steel will continue to be free while his contempt of court charge is being appealed. A decision on Thug’s motion has not been made by the judge yet.

The timeline for a ruling on the recusal motion and the resumption of the trial, which commenced in 2023, remains uncertain.
