Bruce Harvey is the most experienced lawyer in the YSL trial, and he made a rare appearance at the lectern today to argue his motion for mistrial.
The motion focuses how the trial can possibly continue under a new judge after 19 months and six months of testimony. It says Judge Paige Reese Whitaker said she won't be taking the time to catch up on what happened before she took over, but the judge took issue with that statement and said she doesn't know where it came from. She said can catch up on the case and preside over the trial with no issues. She is not calling a mistrial.
Harvey represents Young Thug's co-defendant Quamarvious Nichols.
01:33 "I absolutely intend to familiarize myself with what happened in this trial..."
02:48 Harvey calls it "an impossible effort."
"I understand the genuineness of the court's statements."
09:20 Whitaker says she could be able to rule on the motion for directed verdict based on the record going forward. "I don't think the fact that I'm coming in mid-trial is a basis to call a mistrial in this case."
