Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel filed a new motion seeking the embattled rapperās release from the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta on July 23rd.
Judge Ural Glanville denied several requests for bond before he was forced toĀ recuseĀ himself from Young Thugās trial. Steel hopedĀ Judge Paige Reese Whitaker, who is now handling the case, would be more lenient. Steel insisted Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, isnāt a flight risk or a threat to the community. If placed on house arrest, Young Thug intended to cover all costs for ankle monitoring and a police officer detail. Judge Whitaker must address multiple motions before the YSL RICO trial can resume. Attorneys for four of the caseās six defendants requested mistrials due to Judge GlanvilleāsĀ actions.
