Seems like the state doesn't have their shit together. I think all these plea deals were the strategy of the state from the jump, scare tactics to make co defendants fold and turn on Thug in lieu of a strong case. The defendants all have the right to a speedy trial and the fact that some of these guys still don't have attorneys is insane to me.

i find it funny they are going after the "head" of YSL due to RICO charges but when you think about YSL is only a label that is under a much bigger entity which is ultimately Warner Bros. The Board of Directors for Warner Bros and their owners (if they have any power in the company) should also be charged in the RICO case as well since they are in fact the actual "heads" of the alleged corrupt criminal organization . I wonder why they dont bring this up?

Its like a game they are playing with us. we dont know what even is real or fake these days.

I will never be able to find a lawyer....ever!

Everybody screaming gang gang gang but when you get caught you gon tell on tha whole gang, that don’t snitch applies to an old and gone era.

[youngjp]

How are you affiliated with Young thug and part of his atmosphere but don't have money for a lawyer?? That's wild.

[kymtaylor]

You had cops killed at the Capitol but these young people are being charged with RICO and trying to take their lives.
While Domestic Terrorist is getting days, months, and a few years. On federal government property, WHERE ARE the charges DOJ.

[kakasule]

[frenchonionmedia]

He seems like a fair judge #freethuggga

[donaldray]

[ropo]

Why can't they find council to defend the others?

[jerryjones]

Who ever reads this and are in gangs hope this makes you think twice people will tell on you don't do it reconsider be ya own man

[dameyonealons]

Those six are not going to get a plea deal. It's to late. That boat has left!

[trippdocta]

I wonder how long this trial is going to last ?
Honestly man I think with the dude that took the plea yesterday was the nail in the coffin for Young Thug.

[soniarobinson]

The title is misleading. The six defendants were severed…not dropped. They still face trial…only separate from Young Thug. They will only be “dropped” if the charges are.

[boskobells]

Damn they really serious about cooking that goose that lays the golden egg (young thug)

[peeweegee]

It's not that they aren't being tried. They just aren't going to trial next week. They will have to go through the process at a later date.

[jaynew]

They so poor they can't afford counselors!!

[derrickwoods]

They the informants that haven’t been mentioned. So they gone let them loose as if it’s an attorney problem.

[meyagadsden]

This prosecutor was way too ambitious from the start smh and I think those around her allowed it in order to run against her because clearly they knew that she doesn't stand a chance. She's a pawn and doesn't even realize it.
