In the whirlwind of legal battles surrounding the Young Thug trial, a new chapter unfolds. Judge Ural Glanville recently took an an assertive stance to unravel the mystery behind a leaked ex parte meeting. The spotlight now shifts to Brian Steel, Young Thug’s attorney, as the judge scrutinizes who revealed sensitive information to him.
The controversy first started when Steel, in a courtroom uproar, demanded a mistrial upon learning about the meeting between the judge, the prosecution, and witness Kenneth “Lil Woody” Copeland. Accusations flew, with Steel claiming the meeting as unconstitutional. “You’re not supposed to have communication with a witness who’s been sworn,” Steel said. “… If that’s true what this is is coercion, witness intimidation, ex parte communications that we have a constitutional right to be present for.”
However, Judge Glanville’s order to convene all attendees of the meeting on June 25th reflects a firm determination to uphold transparency and fairness in the legal proceedings. Furthermore, with a stern warning of potential contempt charges for anyone found leaking information, Glanville aims to restore trust in the integrity of the trial.
