Young Thug Trial: Ex-Detective Can’t Stop Laughing Over Strip Club Fight Footage

Young Thug’s RICO trial has already made plenty of headlines for courtroom antics, and this week was no exception. Recently, in a clip shared by Meghann Cuniff on X earlier today, the jury was shown security footage from an alleged strip club brawl involving Young Thug. Before the video was played, however, Judge Paige Reese Whitaker gave the jury a fair warning.

“You’re going to see some images that are things one might see at a strip club. So, be prepared,” she said. A retired detective on the stand couldn’t help but laugh at this explanation, as seen in the clip. The footage itself appears to show a man getting punched in the face and the chaos that ensues.

Judge Tells Jury To “Be Prepared” For Strip Club Fight Footage

The clip of the amusing moment surfaced just a few days after it was reported that a former Fulton County Sheriff’s Deputy was arrested and hit with various charges. 31-year-old Kendra Bailey is accused of accepting bribes from inmates in exchange for drugs and other contraband. Allegedly, one of these inmates was also Marquavious “Qua” Huey, one of Young Thug’s co-defendants in his RICO case. She’s accused of two counts of bribery, four counts of oath violation, and two counts of receiving and handing off banned materials to inmates without authorization.

It also arrives weeks after the judge once again denied the defense’s motion for a mistrial. It was the 45th mistrial motion they’d filed, which set a new record. The trial had already set the record for the longest trial in Georgia’s state history, and unfortunately, it doesn’t show signs of coming to a end any time soon. What do you think of a judge’s disclaimer about footage of an alleged strip club brawl making a retired detective laugh on the stand? Can you blame him?

Rich Homie Quan Calls Lil Woody A Liar When Asked About Infamous Barbershop Shooting

Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug used to be the best of friends back in the day. Overall, the two had some incredible collaborations, and fans were consistently tuning in to what they had to offer. Unfortunately, they eventually had a bit of a falling out. This subsequently left fans disappointed all while wondering what could have been. Meanwhile, Rich Homie Quan has been implicated in the YSL Rico trial, and at one point, was even on the witness list.

Yesterday, Rich Homie Quan was brought up in court. In fact, this led to a hilarious moment in which the prosecution asked Lil Woody a question about RHQ, which subsequently led to him repeating that question in Thug’s direction. Thugger couldn’t help but laugh and his lawyer Brian Steele also let out a hearty chuckle. Meanwhile, Akademiks posted an interview in which RHQ was asked about Woody’s alleged involvement in an Atlanta barbershop shooting that injured his father. The incident was even rapped about on the song “Daddy.”

Rich Homie Quan Speaks His Peace

As you can see in the clip above, Rich Homie Quan seemed pretty annoyed by the question. While he didn’t want to get into the nitty-gritty details, he claimed that Woody is a liar and is stretching the truth. Quan believes the YSL witness is exaggerating what went down and that the barbershop wasn’t even in operation when the shooting occurred. Today, the YSL Rico trial will continue. Lil Woody has been on the stand for weeks, and not much progress has been made, if any at all.

Let us know how you feel about these comments from RHQ, down below. Have you been keeping up to the date on the YSL Rico trial?

Lil Woody’s Neighbor Appears To Leak His Location Amid YSL RICO Trial Testimony

Lil Woody’s apparent neighbor has leaked his location online as the rapper has been testifying in the ongoing YSL RICO trial. A man by the name of Terrell Titus posted: “This n***a walking round Atlanta like he ain’t just snitch on Young Thug [laughing emojis]. Woody a fool, and he live across the street from me.” No Jumper reshared the message on Instagram on Tuesday.

Woody has been making headlines for various antics during the YSL trial. He recently caught attention for asking the judge if he can show up late for court, firing his own lawyer on the stand, and more. On a more serious note, he admitted to lying about “almost everything” he said about Young Thug in 2015 in an effort to avoid jail time.

“Like I told you before y’all called me to trial, I have lied,” Woody said. “I made things up. I told you this before y’all brought me in this courtroom, and I’m telling you now. You asked me about 2015. I had got my life together. Y’all are trying to put this on my conscience, y’all are trying to put people’s lives in my hands. I don’t wanna be here. Y’all have pressured me, I’m tired of y’all, cause y’all know y’all wrong, and y’all Black people doing this to us”

Young Thug Trial: Mariah The Scientist Puts Her Loyalty On Display In Court

Young Thug hasn’t had a ton of luck as of late, as he continues to battle RICO charges in a highly publicized trial. Earlier this week, a judge denied his request for release on bond. “I am not going to reconsider any bond issues that have already been ruled on absent legitimate changed circumstances,” she declared.

The judge in question was Paige Reese Whitaker, who was assigned to the case last month after two other judge’s recusals. While the rapper may not be seeing an end to his long-winded legal battle anytime soon, he’s got at least one thing going for him, his relationship with Mariah The Scientist. The Atlanta-born songstress was recently spotted supporting him in court, wearing a smile as she looked on from her seat.

Mariah The Scientist Supports Young Thug In Court

Mariah has never shown any signs of straying from the relationship amid Young Thug’s incarceration. She opened up about her dedication in an interview last year, making it clear that she’s here to stay. “I feel like, and this is in all honesty, there is nobody on planet Earth that can get between me and supporting my man,” she told Access Atlanta. “I’m sorry, it’s just not gonna happen.”

Mariah has since been hard at work cheering Young Thug on from the outside. She’s also dealt with her own legal issues in recent months, however. In May, she was arrested for her alleged role in a brawl at a local club. She was later charged with simple battery and pleaded not guilty in July. Her lawyer Brian Steel also demanded a jury trial, and Mariah has maintained her innocence. What do you think of Mariah The Scientist continuing to support Young Thug amid his ongoing RICO trial?

Young Thug & YSL RICO Trial: Lawyer At Judge’s Ex-Parte Meeting Finally Divulges On It

If you’ve been following the Young Thug and YSL RICO trial, you know that things are currently on hold due to Judge Ural Glanville’s ex-parte meeting with a witness (YSL Woody), Woody’s lawyer Kayla Bumpus, a court reporter, prosecutor Simone Hilton, and another prosecutor. For those unaware, an ex-parte meeting refers to a motion, hearing, or order requested by, and granted to, a single party in a court case. Specifically, Thugger’s lawyer Brian Steel asked for the recusal of Judge Glanville on the notion that this meeting violated various rules in the trial, including witness collusion for the benefit of the state.

The problem with the meeting is not what was discussed,” Bumpus told The Shade Room‘s Justin Carter of this meeting in the Young Thug trial. “It’s that Mr. Copeland [YSL Woody] was already a sworn witness. So defense council should have at least known about the meeting. I did not tell Attorney Steel [about the meeting]. I do not know who told Attorney Steel. But once they told him, he came and questioned me and I then did give him a rundown of what happened in the meeting.”

Young Thug Trial Might Take A Turn As Case Pauses Due To Ex-Parte Meeting & Attorney’s Testimony

Furthermore, Bumpus was allegedly filling in for a colleague in the Young Thug trial, and specifically for his ex-parte meeting. At press time, the court must wait for another judge to rule on the recusal motion and determine what will become of this YSL case. “We don’t want you in custody,” one of the prosecutors reportedly told YSL Woody. “I can’t say that any other different way, but we don’t want you in custody. The only thing that’s holding you is refusing to testify.”

YSL Woody had attempted to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights on the stand when he responded to a question about how old he was. Also, he tried to refuse immunity and be a state witness, but he ended up cooperating. In addition, Bumpus claimed that, while she didn’t tell Young Thug’s lawyer about the meeting, she did reveal more info about it once he asked. We’ll see whether these extra details and deliberations shift the tide of the case, or if things will go back to our regularly scheduled (and chaotic) court program.

Young Thug YSL RICO Trial Delayed Indefinitely Amid Judge Controversy

young thug 745x565

Several reports have confirmed that the Young Thug YSL Trial has been indefinitely delayed due to drama involving Judge Ural Glanville, who is now trying to excuse himself from the case.

Due to the secret meeting between the judge, a witness and prosecutors, the trial has stopped and it will be determined if Judge Glanville acted inappropriately.

Glanville agreed that the trial will not proceed until another judge decides whether he should recuse himself from the trial over alleged misconduct.

The Fulton County judge got into a publicized argument with Thug’s attorney Brian Steel over the meeting with witness Kenneth Copeland, which Steel said was unconstitutional.

See the courtroom footage of the court delay announcement HERE

Glanville has now agreed to make the transcripts from his meeting with the witness and prosecutors public.

Steel recently filed a motion to dismiss Glanville from the trial, alleging he had an “unlawful, improper ex parte meeting” with Copeland who had previously been granted immunity by the prosecution in exchange for his testimony.

Steel claims that he and Thug received no notice of the meeting and that it violated the rapper’s “constitutional and statutory rights, including the right to due process, a fair trial, a fair tribunal, ethical prosecutors and the right to be present at every critical stage of the proceedings under the Georgia Constitution.”

Young Thug’s Brother Unfoonk Bamboozles Fans With Cryptic Message: “Should I Set The Record Straight”

Young Thug, as everyone knows at this point, is still working tirelessly to make his case and be a free man in the near future. Unfortunately, it seems that every other day presents a new setback for the Atlanta, Georgia influencer and multi-hyphenate. One of them involves his brother and fellow YSL rapper, Unfoonk. Many fans observing this case closely feel that he screwed over his blood relative by accepting his plea deal nearly one year ago. To recap, Unfoonk pleaded guilty to one count of violating the state’s RICO act in addition to another count of theft by receiving stolen property. It led to a 12-year sentence, which includes 10 on probation. Now, Young Thug’s brother has a message that is seemingly making him more enemies by the second.

According to HipHopDX, Unfoonk was all sorts of cryptic, sharing the note on his Instagram story. “Should I set the record straight or let the world think what they wanna think”, he said. Clearly, there is no telling what he could be possibly referring to, other than some stray link to the YSL RICO case. Obviously, fans were leaving with more questions rather than answers.

Those inquisitions mostly centered around the grammatical errors surrounding the message. “Are or or?” questions mostly flood the comments section, as well as telling Unfoonk to hush up. “Shut da hell up till da case over”, one user writes. “Bruh Nb Checking Fa You . How Thug Doing,” another chimes in. More should come of this, so be sure to stick around for more.

What are your thoughts on Young Thug’s brother Unfoonk asking this ambiguous question? What do you think he is referring to here? Do you think he is hurting this case more than he is helping, why or why or not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Young Thug’s Attorney Brian Steel to Serve Jail Time for Contempt of Court Beginning This Friday

https://youtu.be/rTKdH-4AbHQ?list=RDNSrTKdH-4AbHQ

The YSL Rico trial took a turn when Young Thug’s lead attorney, Brian Steel, was charged with contempt of court. As a result, Judge Ural Glanville ordered the attorney to spend the next ten weekends in Fulton County Jail. Steel opted to spend each of the 20 days alongside Young Thug in Cobb Country.

Steel was taken into custody after he did not answer a question about an alleged secret meeting between the judge, prosecutors, and key witness Kenneth Copeland.

According to WSB-TV Atlanta, Steel was provided five minutes to answer. Steel remained silent.

Steel will now have to report to jail this Friday by 7:00 p.m. and be released at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday.

You can see the moment below.

Young Thug Trial: Lil Woody Continues Trolling Prosecutors With His Testimony

After a relatively quiet few weeks as far as new developments in the Young Thug trial goes, it’s been a blitz of new revelations since last week. That started with the reveal that Lil Woody would be forced to testify or face jail time. Fans paying close attention to the trial were pretty surprised to find that last week he plead the fifth, refusing to testify and instead accepting jail time. But according to the THUGGERDAILY twitter account who has been closely following the case, that decision didn’t stick.

When the trial got started back up earlier today, Lil Woody had changed his course. He apparently informed that prosecution that he had decided to testify after all. But when he took the stand today it didn’t seem like they got the testimony out of him that they were hoping. Fans online described his behavior as trolling. He seemed to purposefully delay things as much as possible taking extended time to answer every question posed of him. He also interpreted instructions incredibly literally often requiring back and forth between him and the judges and lawyers in the courtroom. Check out a clip of some of his behavior below.

Lil Woody Trolls Young Thug Trial

Woody’s testimony was far from the only news in the Young Thug trial today. Thug’s lawyer Brian Steele made the dramatic gesture of accusing both the judge and prosecution of coercing witnesses in the trial. He even claimed he would go to jail to fight for his client’s innocence. Steele backed up his claims just a few hours ago. He was taken into custody for contempt of court, though the seriousness of the charges is yet to be determined.

What do you think of LIl Woody refusing to take his testimony seriously despite potentially facing jail time? Do you think his antics help or hurt Young Thug’s chances at beating the charges against him in the long run? let us know in the comment section below.
