Young Thug Judge Removed from YSL RICO Case

BREAKING: A Georgia judge has recused Judge Ural Glanville from the YSL RICO case after several defense attorneys filed motions to remove the judge. The requests for removal picked up when Young Thug attorney Brian Steel was held in contempt and ordered to jail after he exposed an ex parte meeting Judge Glanville had in his chambers with prosecutors and their star witness, Kenneth "Lil Woody" Copeland.

It showed in his refusal to comply with recusal procedures and trying to keep everything in his control.
