Johnny Depp's Lawyer Reacts to Young Thug's Attorney Getting Thrown in Jail

Judge Ural Glanville, the judge overseeing the RICO trial against rapper Young Thug in Atlanta, is getting a lot of blowback from the legal community after he ordered defense attorney Brian Steel to be held in criminal contempt. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber asked Ben Chew, the famed attorney who represented Johnny Depp during his defamation trial, for his opinion on the latest uproar in the trial.

It's not just for his client; he did because he's doing what he thinks is legal. He thinks telling the judge who told him the info.. he is saying doing that would be illegal. So he refused to tell the judge because he didn't want to break the law like the judge wanted him to. So it was for the law and for his client.

[@slycordinator]

​@@QueenCityHornetsThe lawyer didn't do it sometime because the action was legal. The lawyer is disallowed from disclosing the information, based on the Bar Association's Rules of Professional Responsibility. In general, lawyers aren't allowed to disclose "information relating to the representation of a client". This would disclosing the source of information or how the information was discovered. To directly disclose the source in open court could make him subject to sanctions at least.

There are certainly times where disrespect is the correct answer. Finding out your judge (who was already being very biased) and the prosecutor had a secret off the books meeting with a sworn witness is certainly one of those times. He was being incredibly proper in his reaction in my opinion, if the judge didn’t want to look so sketch focusing on extorting the lawyer to snitch was the wrong move.

[@tina-mariecrocker5687]

Exactly

[@theMMAdhatter]

And this judge has been _wildly_ disrespectful towards Steel in the past, openly commenting on Steel's preparedness in front of the jury, reprimanding Steel for the judge's own misunderstandings (also in front of the jury), etc. This is not the first time the two have butted heads; IIRC Steel has previously reported Glanville to the bar - deservedly so.

[@matthewmarshall349]

Mr. Steel has been rightly praised for standing up for his client so zealously, but he also deserves praise for protecting the source from retribution. If this "judge" is willing to imprison defense counsel for his unethical conduct, imagine how much retribution he might pour out on the source behind the scenes.

[@namiebimba8542]

Everything to him is splitting the baby in half. A typical civil child attorney. Where is the advocating for the client? Without question? You cannot as a judge. Have an ex parte meeting with a witness that is sworn in in a criminal trial and intimidate that person and threaten them with jail time. Everything else that happened is the fruit of the poisonous tree. It doesn't matter how the information got out. This is an instant mistrial and this judge should be removed as a judge. This is so outrageous that this judge should likely be disbarred. How this attorney as your guest doesn't clearly see this position seems to indicate he doesn't really know what he's talking about.

[@chhansen9813]

Shes a DAWG!

[@deec7098]

This judge appears totally and completely ridiculous and ignorant... He was BUSTED for inappropriate actions!

[@a.r.9779]

If you've been following this case from the start you know this judge and prosecution team have been doing lots of questionable things that are unhinged. He shows an obvious favoritism of DA Love and a disdain for Steele and Schardt especially. He has had jurors write letters, lawyers buy lunch because their phone rang, walked off the bench to take a phone call when the defense was presenting, one witness said she was s3xually harassed by one of the detectives and the judge said nothing. He comes to work with a service dog (nothing wrong with having a service dog) but a judge having one is alarming. If he cared he would step aside and recuse himself and give these guys a chance at a fair trial. Get the bad guys but do it the right way because it matters.

[@BalletomaneM]

What does having a service dog have to do with someone's ability to be a judge?

[@amberhough8005]

You had me until you said a service dog should be a disqualifier. I'm not sure what having a service dog has to do with anything.

[@Euyoo412]

​@@amberhough8005it depends on what the service dog is for

[@Curlyloxau]

​@@BalletomaneM He may need the service dog because he doesn't understand what the 1.6 means 😂

[@BalletomaneM]

@@Euyoo412 And what need for a service dog would disqualify someone from being a judge? Please go more in depth on your ableism.

[@lazydaisy2292]

My attorney has been practicing in the same courthouse for decades. He's got a wonderful relationship with everyone who works there. Much of the information he gets is often from court staff and the judges own clerk because he's known and worked beside them for years. It's entirely possible he got the information that way.

[@MEMORABLEPRINTING]

This slice of a judge has been antagonizing Steel from the beginning of this case, this is why steel is feed up.

[@lizdk1999]

Yes, i think the judge feels intimidated by Steel, it seems like he is seen as the best or one of the best criminal lawyers in the state.

[@heartmountain1696]

It's obviously a personal problem of the judge- he is a narcissistic bully on a power trip. Mr. Steele is one of the best and I love how he stood up for what was right. The public sees his integrity and faithfulness to his client. Judge needs to get lost and back off!!!

[@CountryAndProud]

His whole rant to me sounds like, how dare you find out i did something wrong.... how dare you not tell me so i can't punish people!

[@slaws2279]

The judge really asked how he found out about the ex parte meeting? He admitted it was ex parte 😂

[@Remmysage]

That’s like throwing cops in jail for arresting criminals lol

[@yellowpillpeople4745]

this judge is giving so many reasons for this case to be appealed and overturned. There is something really wrong with the way the prosecution is moving in this case as well.

[@vanessahardrick4115]

I m really glad Mr. Steel had back up. I think he is very smart, intelligent, and knows the law! I've been watching for months! I'm from the Chi and took criminal law classes. I have found in my opinion. Mr Steel is always on point.

[@AurianWarriorOfDarkness]

Get you lawyer who would fight for you this hard and even request to sit with you in the same jail

[@goaliereids3523]

Steel is in the right here. The meeting should never have taken place in secret without defense counsel being notified and afforded the opportunity to be present, assuming it wouldn’t be waived. By not providing this opportunity, it violated each of the six defendants’ fifth amendment right to proper due process because they wouldn’t know about any possible exculpatory evidence that would be discussed vindicating any of the defendants or any inculpatory evidence which could be challenged by defense. This should be legitimate grounds for a mistrial. Ashley Merchant schooled the judge on the law and the proper remedy on what should have occurred in this situation.
