It appears that additional footage has emerged regarding Young Thug’s YSL RICO trial, even though the rapper is now a free man.
A new piece of video evidence was shown during the YSL court proceedings as the trial continued with other co-defendants.
YFN Lucci – who was stabbed by an alleged YSL member in 2022, Jayden Myrick (also known as YSL Tripp) – could also be free soon, according to ‘HotNewHipHop’.
The footage was shared by prosecutors on November 5 during the ongoing YSL RICO trial – the longest trial ever in Georgia history.
The viewing of the footage took place during the deposition of Aaron Wolford, the retired head of security at the Fulton County Jail, according to the hip hop outlet. The former officer was from the same prison where Lucci was stabbed.
Prosecutors are arguing that the video could support claims that the alleged YSL members committed criminal acts on behalf of the group.
According to journalist Meghann Cuniff, who is covering the ongoing case against Young Thug and YSL in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia, there is also speculation that the stabbing was the result of revenge for the murder Shymel Drinks.
All eyes are on rapper Young Thug – real name Jeffery Lamar Williams – who was indicted in 2022 on charges related to committing illegal and violent acts, including murder, robbery with armed forces, drug trafficking and carjacking.
The musician has been jailed since his arrest in May 2022 before being freed at 7pm on October 31, 2024, with 15 years of probation.
In light of ongoing developments, Williams’ request is to serve his sentence plus three years of house arrest. He also agreed to host an annual charity concert and donate $100,000 per year to Fulton County to buy back illegal guns, according to ‘ENSTARZ.’
Judge Paige Reese Whitaker said: “I know you are talented and if you choose to continue rapping, you need to try to use your influence to let your kids know that is not the way to go.”
Shannon Stilwell and Deamonte Kendrick – better known as Yak Gotti – are the remaining defendants in the high-profile trial, according to ‘Fox 5.’ The YSL RICO trial is expected to resume in the first quarter of 2025.
