Wow! Roommates, there have been a lot of twists and turns in Young banditYSL trial, and the latest involves their judge! Fulton County Glanville of the Urals would be evaluating whether he needs to refuse to participate in the trial.
According to WSB-TVThe trials of Thugger and his co-defendants are on pause for now in a development announced Monday (July 1). Thug’s attorneys, specifically, have filed a motion to have the judge in YSL’s trial recuse himself.
What’s next for the YSL trial judge?
Thugger’s motion comes about two weeks after Judge Glanville ordered one of Young Thug’s attorneys, Brian Steel, to be held accountable. At the time, the judge held Steele in contempt after the lawyer accused him of having an “ex-parte meeting” without his presence. The arrest came after Brian refused to reveal his source.
Now, the pause is due to Steele’s legal claims about the meeting the judge allegedly excluded him from. As for next steps, the judge is waiting for another judge to review the petition. It’s unclear, according to WSB-TV, when that will happen or if another judge is already reviewing the petition.
Watch the YSL trial judge speak on the matter below.

There has been another recent setback in Young Thug’s trial
The ruling by the judge in the YSL trial is yet another setback in Young Thug’s trial. The jury selection had already set a state record, taking 10 months to complete. Opening statements began in November.
Progress has been slow, however. Thug and some other alleged YSL-affiliated defendants appear to be no closer to knowing whether they will return home free or behind prison walls this year.
Thugger, legal name Jeffrey Lamar Williams, is charged with conspiracy to violate the RICO act, as prosecutors are arguing that YSL stands for a street gang called Young Slime Life. In addition to the conspiracy charges, he is charged with drug and firearms possession, multiple employment charges and participation in a criminal street gang, by Vulture.
