Yak Gotti Rejects Plea Deal in YSL Trial

News summary

In the ongoing YSL RICO trial, rapper Yak Gotti has rejected a plea deal from the Fulton County District Attorney's Office, asserting his intention to take the case to jury trial to seek a not guilty verdict. This decision comes as three other co-defendants have recently accepted plea deals, which leaves only Gotti, Young Thug (Jeffery Williams), and Shannon Stillwell remaining in the case. The trial has been delayed due to a potential mistrial following a witness's inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information about one defendant, prompting defense attorneys to request a mistrial. Judge Paige Reese Whitaker has indicated that if a mistrial is declared, it would likely allow for a retrial. Yak Gotti's attorney, Douglas Weinstein, emphasized his client's resolve to fight the charges, which include serious allegations related to racketeering and gang activity. With key plea deals being struck, the future of the trial remains uncertain as negotiations continue.
