Glanville GIVES IN! #ysltrial #youngthug #judgeglanville

After significant resistance, Judge Ural Glanville has agreed to allow another judge to conduct a hearing as to whether Glanville should have to recuse himself from the YSL RICO trial.

--Previous Update--
After a string of major disputes with the judge in the YSL case, lawyers for rapper Young Thug have filed a motion for the judge to recuse himself from the case. This comes after the judge threw one of the rapper’s lawyers in jail earlier this week.
According to the Oxford dictionary, in terms of a legal trial, recusal means: the withdrawal of a judge, prosecutor, or juror from a case on the grounds that they are unqualified to perform legal duties because of a possible conflict of interest or lack of impartiality.
Interestingly, it is not a separate and independent body that decides if the judge must leave the case. Instead, the judge himself reviews the motion to recuse himself, and then decides whether he thinks he should step down. Put simply, the judge is judging himself.
The judge argues that the attorneys do not like the rulings the judge is making, but he says that is not a reason for a judge to remove himself from the case. The judge argues that in order to have him recuse himself, he would have to have done something extrajudicial, outside of the accepted bounds of the legal process.

He needs to be investigated. The only reason he is giving in is the publicity that this has garnered

[rogerchavez]

He didn't do this on his own. The Georgia Supreme Court had to tell him that the recusal motion had to be heard by another judge. This judge is an embarrassment to the judiciary.

[bkk]

He's guilty of making up rules not according to the law unacceptable

[Draxx]

Judge received a reality check. He overstepped his bounds.

[chantejohnson]

This judge needs to be fully investigated!

[KrazyKaren]

I pray God that I never need a lawyer, but if I do, I’d like to have Mr. Steele or Miss Bumpus as my attorney way to go guys!

[seanmccreery]

This judge needs to be taken off the bench...

[kenone]

Upon further review.. fcked up and now need to get out of this before they kick his ass out as a overpaid judge..😂😂😂

[anibaljrbalt]

Did someone get to him and tell him he's in the hotseat?? What a clown 🤡

[tyronetaylor]

Judge glanville was told by a higher court if he didn't obliged and step down they would show him what being disobedient would look like.😅😅😅😅😅😅😂

[timbrown]

He didn’t give in on purpose or have a change of heart. He was told by his counterparts that he’s in the wrong and he denied things that were out of his power to deny and is setting himself up to being sued for everything he has .

[neilswan]

Hope they haven't got another corrupt judge lined up.

[michaelwimberley]

He should not have an option. He has shown he has no regard for the law and he has performed illegal acts. He is an individual human as any human is . Trial and conviction then appropriate sentencing is mandate.

[Nikalette]

Granville didn’t recuse himself, he is allowing another judge to hear the recusal case.

[Annienpeace]

WOW... What happened to Judge Glanville to change his tune? Did someone have a serious talk with him overnite? Did he get a visit from "an angel" last night? He has been so much of a bully up till this moment! Miracles still exist indeed!

[ThomasMartin-qv]

Finally someone spoke with him and gave him some understanding of what is sometimes called THE LAW.

[ronaldelkins]

If it's being sent to another judge, then that/they should be to the state Supreme Court. There, the entire issues will be resolved.

[andrewlampkin]

Trying to protect his job as a judge, the pay is the reason.

[damonjohnson]

If this judge has to step down it should be a mistrial all for all the defendants 5 years and get this case over with and get the convictions

[jameskollath]

He probably had another secret meeting. BUT WITH THE SUPREME COURT
