They realizing dealing with this case has alot of mess with it

[keithcornelius]

The defense will submit a move to dismiss the trial, thug about to beat a RICO, 2024 is a crazy year 😂😂😂😂

[jlbreeze]

They realize the actions of the last judge can cause a new jury to be called. A lot of federal money being wasted and she doesn't want to be the scapegoat.

[AlanToon-fyhg]

What an embarrassment and a waste of time.

The judicial system in Fulton County (Atlanta), has been sketchy ever since the early 80's, with Wayne Williams being the fall guy for all of the Atlanta Child Murders of the late 70's an early 80's.

It makes me seriously ponder how many innocent people have actually been wrongly convicted of crimes in the God forsaken County of Fulton...🤨

[Phatdadde]

What a waste of time, this is turning into a kangaroo court😂

[zoraidacastro]

Move it from this county. Second judge doesn't want any shenanigans...

[Jeffrose-qtjm]

I’m definitely beginning to see a pattern here in Fulton county Ga. With all these DEI judges and prosecutors. 🤔

[darrensmith]

She knew the it’s set up and Thug can’t get a fair trial.. at least she siding

[derrickdunn]

Why want they step in in end this mess

[raven]

Wow she stepped away because she has some integrity ❤ she would have been a great judge!

[johngibson]

Respect to.her....it takes a real person to acknowledge a potential impropriety....good judge

[thomasina]

Well Damn 😮 Let him loose America politics all corrupt smdh

[weirdphax]

no judge in their right mind wants to take over a shit show

[davidh]

It's a damned crying shame that Fulton County can't find one judge to hear this case in an unbiased manner.Guilty or innocent, YT deserves a fair trial and after over a year of courtroom B.S. it's blatantly obvious he can't get one in Fulton

[charitami]

Sounds like they’re about to get sued for a bs @$$ case ijs

[grandtrunk]

What a waste of taxpayer money… this is what happens when you clout chase and try to make a name for yourself but underestimate the fact that he’s rich and got a great lawyer.

[doobiefunk]

Probably Corrupt & connected to Mammy Fani Wilis 😂

[debraprewitt]

Fulton County is a hot mess I’m telling you! Atlanta is the worst city to live in but that’s my opinion ! I lived there for 17 years! I really didn’t like it! But My kids did. I’ll visit cause I have two grand babies there. This whole trial is a joke! Let Young Thug go home. Let him wear a ankle monitor so you can track of him or something. But has been going on long enough smh!

Universe showing his powers ppl can’t control everything ❤
