Why does the Judge continuously overrules the defense…that’s insane !!!!!

[@robintaylor485]

Because they’re wrong that’s why

[@nolabigeasy1435]

The judge continues to prove he's biased and knows this entire case is fake. Just because we grew up in a neighborhood doesn't make us a gang

[@Nick.Ghers1987]

Its not insane that's how the law work

[@nolabigeasy1435]

@@Nick.Ghers1987 yep the law says a lot of BS. That's why the United States is going into the trash can. So, when they come and lock you up into a FEMA camp,you keep in mind that's what the law says. Example: what the law feeds us and the water we drink,other countries clearly state they don't want that poison there,but the law here says it's legal. Wow

[@user-ke9un7ff6o]

The judge is a fraud riding with state on everything the wanna send that dude to prison so bad but watch how it backfires on them free thug man….

[@fawcue5844]

One thing about i can say about thug, he dont let them see him sweat and stays strong

[@RobSoRandom]

Some of us out here can sleep good anywhere knowing our families and kids are str8. A lot of peeps have no idea YT Did more for Atlanta than anyone in that court room. Dude sent like 30 dads to truck driving school fresh out of jail for child support. Kids in school right now with clothes and supplies he paid for. People are holiday meals because of him and he was in jail. So miss me. The police in Atlanta are the real Gang members but y'all don't talk about that. I know a few personally

[@niah1983]

I been following his trial and just pray God will have mercy on him and he can continue to live his life and pursue his dreams. Prison ain’t it. It’s not. Prayers up for Thug and them snitches 🙏🏾

[@user-ke9un7ff6o]

That’s crazy how ppl wanna see a man sent to prison ain’t nobody perfect we all make mistakes and are sinners ppl need to stop trying to down each other and lift each other up blessings to all free thug man a second chance for all…

[@tmilan27]

It’s something how the judge sustains the states objections but overrules the defense when it’s their turn. Im sensing bias and siding with the state. This is all a mess point blank. Also using lyrics and music as evidence should NOT be admissible! It’s art and freedom of speech! Smh

[@jalenpink8149]

You are a fan of young thug so of course you are going to feel like the judge is biased you don’t know what you are talking about just hush

[@Str8shark-nm8px]

I think a lot of people have the wrong interpretation of what freedom of speech is.

[@jalenpink8149]

@@Str8shark-nm8px exactly if you are a serial killer and you rap and confess to it in a song it is still a admission on guilt what’s so hard about that to understand

[@serjeantpepper2986]

​​​@@jalenpink8149and if you're not a serial killer but still sing about it, what's stopping some overzealous prosecuter from using your lyrics to convict you? Your very premise flies in the face of the presumption of innocence and freedom of expression, rights guaranteed to all Americans regardless of your particular artistic tastes.

[@jalenpink8149]

@@serjeantpepper2986 I’m from Atlanta and I listen to young thug however nobody is jealous of him… why would the state be jealous of ONE MAN you know how many rap artist come out of Atlanta ? How many do you know have caught a Rico ?… exactly he is being charged for the stuff that he did bottom line I know you are a fan and you want to believe otherwise

[@nationvibezonly4494]

The judge , sustaining every objection for the prosecution team is CRAZY

[@trecome396]

You not understanding that the LAW must be followed in court(regardless to your feelings) is CRAZIER….

[@watsongreatest]

When yall gon prosecute KKK members in your police force or in the legislature they have businesses and so to me that looks like a RICO

[@charnagoins3477]

Exactly we’ve never seen that prosecuted. You have kkk members infiltrated in all parts of government and they definitely use their status to implement systemic racism to further their “gang” so where in the history of America has the KKK been charged with a RICO

[@lilmurrytrt]

Why it seem like the judge and the prosecutor got a lil some some goin on lol

[@HarryPodderPodcast973]

Same circle

[@cretemovers]

[@jamaalgriffin5845]

The judge is definitely on the prosecutors side for sure

[@ErinThomas-dp9mc]

Mistrail none of it makes sense, no proof, no evidence, hearsay, State evidence no substance, wasted time for young thug, he is very composed, no emotion at all

[@CLRWopTV]

Stop playing wit Brian Steel

[@lisajohnsonwithlove]

Please…. He is not to be played with at all … very seasoned and very very good! The whole defense is good!!!

[@Bluesteel_79]

Only the judge saving the state at this time. case dismissed

[@jessicaflagella31]

This man didn't say anything during his testimony to incriminate Thug.. Idk why people are calling him a snitch.. He could barely answer questions.. there's nothing wrong with saving yourself long as it's not hurting anyone else

[@FTIROD]

He definitely switched side bro you can tell he not trying to hang thug but he trying to help himself forfill his end of the plea bargain . It look like thug gone get off

[@fleshofthegodz]

Big Facts

[@fleshofthegodz]

Why is the officer constantly hovering behind him? I don't see that with other witnesses... and why does the Judge yell at the defense, but be kind to the prosecution when talking about the same type of objections?

[@jacquelynlinn1505]

Bc they all drink from the same cup- “I’m better than you- so- yep - here I am”!! So damn sad. I agree. I saw that too. Thanks.

[@cedricsimmons7106]

Young thug lawyer is tuff

[@nolabigeasy1435]

Young Thugs Attorney is a beast. He's destroying the DA's fake case. What the DA truly needs to do is discontinue humping on the Judges leg. Because NOTHING about this case is evidence of any RICO ACT

[@lisajohnsonwithlove]

As nails…

[@jacquelynlinn1505]

Sho is! Bc He knows already!!! This is for sure a BS case. Come on now Georgia- get “ on the map” some other way! And She- Ms. Madam Love- needs to - ok I won’t say it- ! Anyway- always using the “ typical” to use as an example! So damn sad!!!

[@318Buckwheat]

Why at 1:49:40 the prosecutor is telling him to say NO multiple times

[@RobSoRandom]

Anyone that thinks Jeffrey doesn't have a chance clearly haven't been watching. Thug has a higher chance of going home than he have serving real time. The state really fd this up

[@FreeSlatt722]

Weakest fakest RICO in America 🇺🇸 history

[@lisajohnsonwithlove]

In history!!!!!!

[@truthhurts9394]

@ 2:14:15 - 2:14:35.....when the prosecutor reacts to Brian Steele's question about Lil Wayne Tour Bus is the part I think is a little fishy. The prosecutor says" your honor" then the judge asks her if she has an objection, but she says "NO"......come on yo, thats definitely witness intimidation...Look at how Tick reacts!!!!!

[@Caprecordsentertainment]

Why is the judge like this

[@user-kx9tw9fb9q]

The judge is clearly in favor of the solicitor somebody needs to look into this

[@augustefamilyvlogs9261]

They need to release these young men stop waisting our tax dollar, time, and subjecting these men to jail for games

[@brittanymoore9620]

Steele is not going to ask the questions in a way that makes his strategy apparent, he'll connect the dots later down the line, but you can see a few things he's establishing. For example... he asked Slug if Thug ever let people drive his cars, or if he rented cars for people with no questions about their activity or whereabouts. Slug said Thug didn't know what ppl were doing in his cars/rented cars, Thug didn't know where people were going and at times Thug didn't know they had his cars in their possession at all. There was a drawer full of keys and it was understood ppl could take Bentleys and Rolls Royces without having to explain anything to Thug or even ask to take them. A key argument for the prosecution is that Thug allegedly rented a car that was utilized in the commission of a murder. The questions Steele asked and the answers Slug gave suggested that anyone who used a car Thug rented could've easily done so without Thug knowing their intent was to commit a crime.

[@HarryPodderPodcast973]

Yo the judge is siding with the prosecutor the whole time. Wtf

[@Equaljusticeunderlaw]

Please see; Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 82, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Prosecutorial Misconduct" refers to the unethical or illegal tactics by "Prosecutors" in a criminal case, such as: withholding exculpatory evidence from the defense, making false statements, or. presenting inadmissible evidence to the jury, offering evidence they know to be false or inadmissible (including encouraging witnesses to lie on the stand), and not limited to using improper arguments. This (Alleged RICO case) is a direct example of "Abuse of Authority" fueled by District Attorney (Fani Willis) in hopes of some sort of Political gain/Popularity Contest.
