Young Thug Released After Guilty Plea in Lengthy YSL Case

Facts! The dude who brought up Trump who crushed the opposition isn't a criminal like Thug and the rappers. He was SET UP and attacked by the system. Trump was treated MORE black than Jeffery, whose cases involved murder and he is now acting like a regular dude. YSL loved being gang when it was profitable so they need to confess that it was a fraud. Trump is a beast who isn't racist while many of y'all picked NON BLACK Kamala because you are indeed racist!

I agree that it’s a set up. Once the state realized they were going to most likely lose, they tricked thug into taking a plea against his attorneys better judgement. Brian steel was visually upset thug took the deal, but happy to set him free. I probably would’ve done the same thing in his situation but man it’s hard not to violate in that lifestyle, especially when they’re watching you constantly

They weren't gonna lose , it was gonna be a mistrial and have to do that sht all over again

[@LvTheOni]

Even harder with people on social media watching and making rumors…

[@bsimms583]

He didn't get "tricked" he said he took the plea because he needed to get out of jail, and couldn't stand being in jail for the rest of the trial (the DA was so bad at presenting their case it could easily have gone on for another year). And wasn't willing to risk the small chance that the verdict goes the wrong way. The plea agreement wasn't even what the DA wanted. They wanted decades. The judge essentially agreed that the prosecution failed to prove most of their case, and gave him time served for the gun charge and drug charge.

[@Clemsontiger21487]

@@bsimms583 the options were: sit in jail a little longer until trial is over, most likely winning, possible mistrial… or, leave now leaving yourself being monitored for 15 years with the threat of going back for 20 year’s looming over you. Catch 22

[@bsimms583]

@Clemsontiger21487 you forgot the part where the "little longer" was anywhere from 6 months to another year or longer, if the motion for a mistral w/ prejudice was denied, with the chance that he gets a verdict that puts him in prison for life. OR, he gets a mistral, then there's another trial, that takes anywhere from a year and a half to 2 years w/ the same chance. I don't think it's impossible for him to get through probation w/o slipping up. He represented to the court that he didn't stay in contact w/ any of the active gang members (he shouldn't even want to remain in contact w/ them because the whole reason why he got wrapped up was because the actions of his friends), has to move from ATL (so shouldn't randomly come in contact w/ them), has to do drug tests (which will be frequent at first then will be very rare once he comes up clean for a few months), and has to be conscious of how he moves (which he should be doing even if he wasn't court mandated to). Once his PO sees that he's moving mature, they'll get more lenient. And afyoua certain amount of time w/ good behavior, they can request early termination (which they often do to get a case off their desk). Speaking candidly, I was on probation 10 years ago. I was ordered to do it for 2 years, but after 5 months (where I did 100 hrs of community service in less than 2 months), checked in w/ them often, and never came up hot on UAs, she reached out to the judge to request early termination. In his case, they might relax the terms or allow him to check in less.

Y'all missing again, except Ish. It IS a set up. He decided NOT to agree to a bad plea but the stipulations are very tough. The interpretation of "no gang music" etc allow for a lot of grey area. I didn't wish it on him, but it reveals how wrong black people are with "gang" life. How can you be credible and make money off of "gang" but now you're just revealing it's either a sham or you're really gang. He's rich so he will be ok, but he's just a dude named Jeffery. So let's not call him Thug because he is not or can't be. I wish back men would start just being husbands and fathers and stop playing a game making the devil win.

[@popetaytv]

It's only a set up if he's the fucked up individual they're accusing him of being. He has enough money to where he can fight some stupid violation like a traffic ticket. As long as he's not doing stupid shit like NBA Youngboy having fake prescriptions he'll be alright.

Thug is out of jail and that’s good for him and his family. But don’t get it twisted- once Woody admitted he lied and made the whole thing up the prosecution case against Thug was a wrap. They had no case and they knew it and the new (white woman) judge knew it. Thug’s lawyer was right they should have fought more to get him out scott free but it would have taken more time. But that trial had gone on longer than ANY trial like it before ever. His lawyer knew that and was betting on the embarrassment to get Thug off which would have happened eventually. But he wanted to get out of jail asap and took the plea deal that really was just a way for the prosecution to save face after wasting taxpayers time and money for years on nothing but Woody’s lies. That ATL D.A. Fannie and her staff and those first two judges are corrupt af. They all need to be fired, censured or disciplined for all the bs they pulled to railroad a young Black dude… and they’re all allegedly Black. 🤷🏿‍♂️👎🏿👎🏿

9:35 , me and my mom had this exact conversation. I was a juvenile in court and she had to be there. And I had a feeling this Judge was fed up. Confessed all my wrong doings to my mom. Judge sat me down for 10months. Got out, and literally just stopped doing what I was doing before. I did end up violating probation though sat down again for 2months. But I never been in a courthouse again I’m 28yrs old. It’s not easy breaking bad habits, it’s not easy breaking free of your environment, but it’s essential in the urban communities. Even to this day I have old friends claiming I “changed” I “left” them I’m a “bitch” just because I refuse to put myself in a situation that can cause me to being arrested.
