After almost a year of peculiar circumstances, the jury for Young Thug’s YSL RICO case has finally been seated.
At the top of the year, Young Thug’s YSL RICO case began, and 10 months later has finally seated a jury. This case has had a string of outrageous incidents that have delayed the selection process from day one. One potential juror skipped out for a vacation, another was caught filming, and others found a way to waste the court’s time. Furthermore, the lawyers even found a way to disrupt the jury process and a few almost ended up in jail themselves. According to 11Alive, the jury has finally been seated allowing the biggest RICO trial in Fulton County history to get underway.
The jury list is as follows: seven black women, two white women, two black men, and one white man.
On May 9, 2022, Young Thug was arrested outside his Atlanta home after the YSL RICO was unsealed. This would begin one of the most extensive RICO cases in the history of Georgia. Originally Thugger was charged along with 27 other individuals but that number has dropped to just seven. Gunna and several others took an Alford Plea while the rest have been split into their own cases. Within the 88-page grand jury indictment the group was accused of 181 instances of gang activity.
Additionally, the prosecution is reportedly set to call over 300 witnesses. It’s safe to say Thugger is in the fight of his life, but may the odds be in his favor.
