ATLANTA (AP) — The new judge presiding over the racketeering and gang prosecution of rapper Young Thug and several other defendants said Friday she plans to move forward expeditiously with the trial, which has already dragged on for more than a year. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Paige Reese Whitaker held a hearing with prosecutors and defense attorneys to understand any pending issues she needed to address and lay down some ground rules. Whitaker received the case after the first judge overseeing it, Chief Judge Ural Glanville, was removed. Two defendants had sought his recusal, citing a meeting the judge held with prosecutors and a state witness.  Jury selection began in January 2023 and took nearly 10 months. Opening statements were in November, and the prosecution has been presenting its case since then, calling dozens of witnesses.

Most kids dream of doing whatever they want, especially when someone babysits them. However, surprisingly, not this kid. In a hilarious video posted by Derek Lipp—who goes by @dereklipp_ on Instagram—his son explains why he hates it so much when his grandma babysits him and it has left everyone rolling with laughter. The boy, Dawson, says that he needs more structure when he is with grandma. His elaboration on why he needs more structure makes many wonder if the video is scripted. The boy asks his dad, who is babysitting him as the video begins. As soon as the dad says grandma, the boy lets out a disappointed "Damnit" and adds, "I hate when she babysits me." The dad and the grandma are stunned at his reaction.

Little boy hilariously explains why he hates if grandma babysits him: 'I have no structure!'
