The Corrupt Trial of Young Thug: From 120 Years to Freedom

We all mocked his lawyer for that, but as it turns out, dude is legit. Managed to get this guy off on a plea deal with no prison time. Crazy work.

YSL Woody pretending not to know the answers to the most basic possible questions was funny af. The man wouldn't even confirm what school he went to.

[@virginiatisdale5768]

after that whole trial ishhh … i really started to like YSL Woody 😂😂 he was hilarious

[@wrtchd]

he plead the fifth when they asked him about his age😭

[@ThatGuyGloomy]

@@wrtchdafter being given immunity btw. He could have confessed to a body and got nun for it yet he pleads the fifth to “how old are you”😂

[@tigerwoods373]

Well it shows you have had little experience with police. They don't ask "hey did you rob this store?" They get a clip from cctv an hour before the robbery and ask is this you? It may not even have been you but saying yes confirms to them that you're confessing to a robbery. So there is always a distrust with questions. Usually they're asked to incriminate you. The only logical thing to do is not answer any question, even one about what school you went to maybe asked to prove you were around proven gang members.

[@squillz8310]

@@tigerwoods373 taking that mindset all the way to the court room, with full immunity, is genuinely hilarious

[@Jalapeno_P730]

$25 a day?!? That in itself should be considered a crime! Smh

[@MotionSustained]

They interviewed or bothered over a 1,000 Fulton residents & they qualified the jury pool by confirming their employers would pay salary during jury duty. Jury duty definitely needs a pay raise though, $25 a days is an insult.

[@Ganbarizer]

I would not be shocked if Thug actually did some or all of the things he's been accused of doing, BUT to use mostly rap lyrics and "testimonies" from unreliable witnesses and then resorting to intimidation and strong arm tactics to move things in your favor isn't the way to do it. It's a waste of time, money and resources. It also makes the judicial system look even worse than it already is. If you're gonna throw RICO charges at someone, you better make sure you have better and more concrete evidence than that. The judge who chewed the prosecutor out was right. It's totally unprofessional to just wing it and string along narratives (for over a year at that!). What a joke.

[@squillz8310]

I 100% agree. I believe that song lyrics (not just rap) can be used as evidence in a crime, but *ONLY* as supporting circumstantial evidence. Like, if there's other direct evidence that almost undoubtedly proves them guilty, then the lyrics can be used too. But like you said, Using the music as the MAIN evidence, and then having really shaky eye-witness testimony, sets a terrible precedent. I'm glad the prosecution lost this case so badly

[@southernladyish]

Fani is absolutely getting exposed now for all of her BS!! This was absolutely pathetic on her part and she should completely be removed from any positions of authority. I’m not sure if prosecutors can get sanctioned or not but if so, she deserves the max! This ridiculous case is not the only injustice created by this woman either.

[@SKULLKR3W]

@@squillz8310 nah thats just an erosion of free speech

[@amyshares]

There’s a reason why this was the only “evidence” presented, it’s all they had. Some of the lyrics weren’t even written or spoken by him. They didn’t bother to check bc they didn’t care. There was no RICO

[@Melanieaeaves81]

The court system made this possible for him. This guy's trial has been a total WRECK!! so messed up! Have you watched any of it? Thank God p. Diddys trial is federal

[@1sketchball]

3:44 "An interview from 2014 when he was 20 years old.... In a Reddit post from 2010, a 19 year old Young Thug" This man breaking the laws of physics

[@Hwa_206]

The judge that abused thug needs to be fired. Immediately

[@hlogilehlogonolo5438]

That judge Is very Corrupt, he’s anti Black

[@jacobwebb8818]

He needs to be jailed, he was discussing court outside of the court and being a dirty judge

[@imliterallyjustjake]

Idk how he skipped jail time bc that is a bribery charge and obstruction of justice. Idk what the time you can do for that is, but I’m sure it’s almost 10 years for his case.

[@alexgratzaTV]

This whole case is terrifying

[@Fluer-de-Lis]

Even if they were guilty of some of things, the prosecution played too dirty to allow it to continue

[@MotionSustained]

Terrifying for sure! You're not supposed to bring an indictment against someone with No evidence & based solely on his lyrics and gossip.

[@aaliyyaa]

As someone who followed the trial, you did your big one with this. 98% accurate! 🔥

[@imlikesupp]

Just found this channel and have been binging your catalogue. Incredible work.💐

[@makeitrainnaren]

7:40 Sacrifices where Thug rapped with Drake is probably one of the best features ever and one of my top Thugger songs. For many fans too, it was crazy to hear him actually rap in a somewhat normal voice and while you highlighted the track, I definitely think it's not that well known. Also, while Thug was hugely influential, I think Lil'B was as formative to his come up and acceptance, and both rappers were big fans of Lil Wayne for being weird.

[@MichelleRichmond-qx1jd]

He sure look a hell of a lot better. Them drugs made him look awful. Thank God he’s off of them.

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

He was arrested for YEARS and they were so butthurt they wanted 45 years as a DEAL? With NO case? WOW Going home was more than fair id go with the judge too. He shouldn't have even gotten probabation he needs to sue.

However, „lifestyle“ made it into the court room

[@Supportnotstigmaa]

I'm very happy for YT. It is sad that he faced the loss of loved ones while he was incarcerated. It is also sad that the DA seized millions of dollars worth of jewelry, cars, other expensive items & they are FIGHTING HARD to keep everything that they took. I hope that YT can heal from this awful event and move forward with his life. Also, I didn't know that he was so involved with fashion! He clearly is an extremely talented human and a trend setter. I wish nothing but the best for him and his family.

[@DsJ98]

Your channel is dope

[@aaliyyaa]

22:39 The meeting itself is not illegal. It was the one side, judge, and SWORN witness that made it suspect. The judge that recused him wouldn’t confirm it was “illegal” the new judge did not either.

[@rubix187]

The 2020s are showing us that the gangster lifestyle that rap music promotes is not sustainable within the industry.

[@ossiejon-nwakalo8644]

That’s always been the case

[@viderevero1338]

Crime is never really sustainable. That's the point. It's the quick money, the highs, the attention, the 'respect', that's what people seek.

[@fishdontsink]

This literally shows the exact opposite. His persona is what made him attractive to music execs, which led into him making tons of money, of which he used to pedal his criminal lifestyle and when the state tried to arrest him, he used his money and connections to beat the charges. Had he not been ‘Young Thug’, he would’ve been arrested and forgotten about a long time ago. Ik it sucks but the truth is, a violent ignorant gangster type lifestyle is exactly what the industry is looking for.

[@brxyann]

Why is the algorithm not promoting this great video smh

[@Cmz083]

Denied bond for two and half years but got out on probation. And if he would have waited it it out, the jury said he would have been not guilty!!!

[@KaelWrit]

so he's kept out of his hometown when they didnt even prove anything. After being in prison without anything being proven for over a year, and being in one of the worst trials of all time.

once the prosecution started doing slimy shit like going out of their way to illegally persecute free speech thru song lyrics and making secret backdoor deals to speed up the long legal process that they had slowed down, my sympathy and respect for the prosecutions case went out the window. its sad seeing how for a rico case the judicial and prosecution acted more like the gangs they supposed to prosecute vs the actual gangs themselves
