The new judge in Young Thug’s gang trial has denied the rapper’s renewed request to be released from jail until a verdict is reached.
Two weeks after Judge Paige Reese Whitaker became the third judge to preside over the huge racketeering case, she rejected arguments from Thug’s attorney Brian Steel to release the rapper on bond and allow him to live under house arrest with strict monitoring.
Steel had argued that the recent turbulent events in the case , Judge Ural Glanville was ordered removed from the case over a secret meeting with prosecutors and a key witness, were the kind of “changed circumstances” that would allow her to overturn earlier rulings that kept him locked up.
Thoughts?
