Young Thug's Attorneys Want Judge Off Trial After 'Star Chamber' Meeting

The attorneys representing Jeffery Williams, the rapper better known as Young Thug, have asked Judge Ural Glanville to recuse himself and grant a mistrial in the RICO trial. The requests come after Judge Glanville held Steel in contempt and ordered him to jail after he demanded information about an ex parte meeting Glanville had in chambers with prosecutors and their star witness, Kenneth "Lil Woody" Copeland, and his lawyer. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy breaks down the motion and the hearing over it with Judge Robert Peeler and Atlanta-based attorney Darryl Cohen in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

Once the judge get called as a witness, it should be an automatic mistrial. It’s a conflict of interest. The judge is dirty.

[andreamoore]

Honestly somebody needs to step in and dismiss this judge now
This case has become so unserious

[davids]

This judge is so far out of line he needs to be brought before the bar association

[MrJaiboi]

The judge KNOWS he messed up. His EGO will NOT allow him to step aside.

Time will bring him down.

[ms.deedee]

The judge sitting there smacking and snacking, while responding to Mr. Steel is so rude.

[ericles]

I hope this judge gets investigated after this trial. This is such bs!

[gunionq]

This judge has been grandstanding since day one. He should have been removed a long time ago

[sabrinamassie]

This judge likes to harp on professionalism ... and yet he was eating/chewing while addressing Mr Steel ??? What a joke !

[ally_tyson]

I feel bad for the jurors who have wasted this much time just for the case to ultimately be deemed a mistrial if it’s not completely thrown out

[MrTheHeadlines]

Damn so the judge doing illegal stuff and also eating while on the mic during court I ain’t ever heard a judge smacking in the mic during court 😂

[jurgeng]

Tf... you put ME in jail for defending the client

[williamhamill]

This judge should recuse himself. He is a bully and biased.

[JTalksNow]

This Ohio judge not acknowledging that it’s CLEARLY unlawful and empathizing with this reckless judge says a lot about him. I don’t want to see him interviewed again

[ClearwaterKB]

This is corruption beyond belief. It doesn't matter if you think these guys are guilty or innocent, this illustrates how badly the DA will go to close a case and that they have at least one dirty judge to ensure those convictions.

[YaIghttt]

The judge is trying to make the issue about who told him the info instead of looking at the real issue, which is him. Judge is a complete joke.

[Paul_]

If the judge did nothing wrong, then why was he so upset that Mr. Steele found out about the exparte meeting?

[CriminalOverPoweringSocietyCOP]

This judge has no honor. Allegedly he was a general in the military. He’s a disgrace to the uniform and the service.

[TheRealCaliStar]

I agree that the judge should be removed. The attorney shouldn't have been charged for contempt for withholding his source

[RisitasKEKW]

Not only should a mistrial be granted, the judge should be removed from the bench

[alxbolt]

The motion by Copeland's attorney claimed the sheriffs present were told to ensure their body cams were off and the transcriber was in and out of chambers a number of times at the judges discretion. Basically there will never be a complete transcript of what went on in that ex parte.
