Young Thug Trial Hit With Serious Security Breach As Four Jurors Identified

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug is currently on trial in the YSL RICO case. Overall, this is a case that has been going on since May of 2022. At the time, Gunna, Thugger, and many others were arrested. However, since that time, many have been freed, including Gunna. Now, Thug has to stand trial and it has already proven to be a bit of a mess. The first few days in court have been filled with burden-shifting, anime references, and service dogs. It has been a wild time, and no one knows what to really make of it.

Unfortunately, things got a whole lot worse yesterday as there was a livestream crew working inside the courtroom. During the testimony of Detective Mark Belknap, the camera panned a bit too far to the left. Subsequently, the faces of a few jurors were captured. After No Jumper posted the video to social media, people began identifying the jurors by name. This is an absolute nightmare scenario, and Judge Ural Glanville had to confirm that this did, indeed, happen.

Overall, this forced Glanville’s hand completely. He subsequently told the film crew that they had to stop filming, immediately. Otherwise, things could have gotten very bad. Moving forward, there is a bit of confusion as to what will happen next. For the most part, it seems like the jurors will stay on, at least for now. However, if they feel uncomfortable with continuing on, there are a plethora of backup jurors that can be used in this scenario.

Regardless, this is an unfortunate mistake that could very dire real-world implications. Hopefully, everyone is okay and this doesn’t happen ever again.

Gunna Posts Up In Atlanta Ahead Of Young Thug Trial

November 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Gunna has seemingly returned to Atlanta, with the rapper posting a video from the city on Saturday. It sees Gunna return to his primary base of operations for the first time (at least publicly) since being released from jail late last year. Furthermore, Gunna’s return coincides with the start of Young Thug’s trial, which is finally set to begin on Monday.

It’s a bold move for Gunna, as many people believe that the city is “off-limits” to him. There are many who still believe that Gunna’s plea deal included Gunna snitching on Thug. Evidence of this belief includes Gunna being one of the few people to admit under oath that YSL was a criminal gang. As a result, many believe Gunna should be right there alongside Thug. Despite this, Gunna has been vocal about his support of Thug, flashing a “Free Jeffrey” sign at several of his recent concerts.

Meanwhile, the start of Young Thug’s trial had social media reflecting on everything that has gone down since Thug was arrested nearly two years ago. The X account ThuggerDaily posted a long list of every wild thing that has happened. Highlights include Donald Trump accusing Fani Willis of sleeping with YSL Mondo, one defendant being found to be in a relationship with his jail guard, and someone hacking the courtroom screens to play porn.

However, after nearly a year of jury selection, Thug’s trial will start on Monday. After over 20 indictments, just six men will go to trial, Thug included. Despite this, there was still plenty of drama to go around. Thug’s lawyer was formally warned by the judge. The attorney was heard calling one of the prosecution’s pre-trial witnesses a “farce”. Similarly, Yak Gotti’s lawyer was warned after a verbal altercation. It stemmed from Gotti being denied his right to have a clear line of sight to the jury.

With Young Thug’s trial set to start Monday, social media has taken a moment to reflect on everything that has happened since Young Thug was arrested over 17 months ago. The X account ThuggerDaily posted a long list of every wild thing that has happened.

Mariah The Scientist Reveals Marriage Plans For Young Thug

Away from the courtroom, Mariah The Scientist is continuing to prove her “wife goals” in regards to Young Thug. “I feel like he definitely wants to be married and I feel like I do too. I feel like being imaginative can help every human being on earth not lose your mind. It is like a little slight state of delusion,” Mariah told XXL. Furthermore, she noted that she spends “all day long” thinking about one thing. That thing is what life is going to be like with Thug once he is finally released from prison.

This sentiment is something that Mariah has long adhered to. “I feel like, and this is in all honesty, there is nobody on planet Earth that can get between me and supporting my man. I’m sorry, it’s just not gonna happen,” Mariah asserted in an interview in September. As things kick off in Fulton County Courthouse next week, we’ll of course have any updates as and when they emerge right here on HotNewHipHop.
