Young Thug will be released after pleading guilty to six of eight charges in the long-running RICO trial against him and the alleged YSL street gang, marking the end of his involvement in Georgia's longest trials. 
It comes after several other defendants also accepted plea deals in the last three days following several days of negotiations with the state.
The state's initial offer would have allowed Williams to be released today with 15 years on probation, but he did not agree to the extra conditions of the agreement. 
The defense recommended 45 years, with five to serve commuted to time served and 40 years on probation credit for time already served. After 3 years of probation, it becomes nonreportable, and after 10, the balance is terminated. 
Defense attorneys also proposed several conditions, including house arrest, community service, travel and restrictions.
Young Thug did addressed the court stating. 
"I promise you I won't be in this situation again," he told the judge. "I'm sorry—you are truly the best thing that's happened to me because you've made everything fair for everybody involved on both sides.”

Prosecutors allege Williams is one of the founders of Young Slime Life, or YSL, a criminal street gang that started in late 2012 in the Cleveland Avenue of Atlanta.
They also alleged Williams made YSL a "well-known name by referring to it in his songs and on social media."
A grand jury indicted him in 2022 on eight charges: conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), two counts of participation in criminal street gang activity, three counts of violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act, possession of a firearm during commission of a felony and possession of a machine gun. 
Williams has been behind bars since May of 2022.
He was one of three defendants remaining in the current RICO trial, where jury selection began in January 2023. Now, only two remain - Shannon Stillwell, aka SB, and Deamonte Kendrick, aka Yak Gotti. Kendrick rejected a plea just hours before Williams pleaded guilty. Lets take a look at the other plea deals in this case.
