In a surprising turn of events, rapper Young Thug pleaded guilty in the longest criminal trial in Georgia history. According to NBC, if this plea deal is accepted, it will end the trial that has been going on since January 2023. CNN reported that he was sentenced to time served and will be released from custody and was sentenced to 15 years of probation as part of a non-negotiable plea agreement.

Young Thug, real name Jeffery Lamar Williams, was indicted in 2022 on charges related to leading the YSL street gang, whose members allegedly committed illegal and violent acts, including murder, armed robbery, drug trafficking and carjacking. He has been jailed since his arrest in May 2022.

Williams maintained his innocence, causing an unexpected plea change when Superior Court Judge Paige Whitaker asked if he agreed to a non-negotiable plea.

Judge Whitaker approved plea agreements this week for three of Williams’ six co-defendants: Quamarvious Nichols, Marquavius ​​Huey and Rodalius Ryan.

The famous case has captivated audiences worldwide with many unexpected changes and developments, in which Williams’ lawyer Brian Steel requested the expulsion of two judges and prosecutors for allegedly “tarnishing “trial.

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.

After nearly two years of experimenting with live streaming, the end may be near.
