Lawyer for Young Thug wants judge replaced in RICO case.

Young Thug's lawyer is making a bold move in the YSL Rico case, as he has filed a motion to have the judge, Ural D. Glanville, removed due to allegations of misconduct. This decision was announced on June 17th by attorney Brian Steel, who shared screenshots of the legal document on Thuggerdaily's social media account.

In the motion, Steel argues that Judge Glanville has shown bias towards the prosecution and is therefore unfit to continue overseeing the trial. According to Steel, this bias was made evident on June 10th, 2024, and has been present throughout the entire case. This allegation has caused quite a stir, with many questioning the integrity of the judge and the fairness of the trial.

This development comes after Judge Glanville held Steel in contempt of court for accusing him of engaging in inappropriate behavior. Both Steel and his client, Jeffery Williams (also known as Young Thug), claim that the judge has been colluding with co-defendant Kenneth "YSL Woody" Copeland. Tom Church, a trial attorney present at court, also spoke out about the situation to Atlanta News First, revealing the severity of the accusations against Judge Glanville.

According to Church, the judge had been having secret conversations with the district attorney and a witness without any representatives from the defense present. This type of communication, known as ex parte, is considered improper and unethical. Steel alleges that there was a meeting between the judge, district attorney, and witness without anyone else present, and the judge did not deny this claim. However, when Steel refused to disclose how he obtained this information, he was detained by law enforcement. He was later granted bond in an emergency motion, avoiding a 20-day sentence in Fulton County Jail. The appeal of his contempt of court charge is still ongoing.

The motion also called for a mistrial in light of these allegations, which has caused a media frenzy due to the ongoing obstructions, delays, and, most recently, turmoil within the defense team. Young Thug is facing nine charges, primarily for violating the RICO Act, and the outcome of this trial has been highly anticipated. However, with the recent developments and accusations, it is unclear when a ruling will be made on the motion and how it will affect the case.
