Young Thug's YSL RICO Trial: Mistrial Request Denied, Prosecution's Opening Criticized
On the first day of Young Thug's YSL RICO trial, his lawyer filed for a mistrial, claiming the prosecution unfairly presented evidence. The trial, marked by delays and a late start, featured objections leading to a brief jury removal. The prosecution drew parallels between YSL and wolf packs, emphasizing the gang's impact on the community. Despite the mistrial request being denied, the judge criticized the prosecution's opening. The trial is expected to last a year, with lyrics potentially playing a role in the state's arguments.
