Last year, NBA YoungBoy was arrested by the FBI in California and was hit with felony gun possession charges. This was a federal gun case, and if convicted, YoungBoy would have faced a lengthy prison sentence. Over the past couple of weeks, YoungBoy has been on trial in California, and his legal team was hard at work, making sure he got off. For instance, YoungBoy got a huge win this past week as his lawyers were able to make sure his lyrics could not be used as evidence.
Today, Central District of California Judge R. Gary Klausner officially decided that YoungBoy was “not guilty.” Of course, this was a massive legal win for the young star who continues to be a shining star in the hip-hop world. The verdict in this case was highly-anticipated, and fans couldn’t have been happier with the result.
