News summary

The RICO trial against rapper Young Thug, also known as Jeffery Williams, continues as the judge denied a mistrial motion based on concerns regarding undisclosed evidence from the prosecution. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Paige Reese Whitaker criticized the prosecution for failing to disclose key statements made by their star witness, Kenneth Copeland, who admitted to a lack of truthfulness during a secret meeting. While the judge found the oversight likely unintentional, she mandated that the prosecution undergo training on disclosure obligations. The trial, which is noted as the longest criminal trial in Georgia's history, will restart after a nearly two-month hiatus, with jurors returning on Monday. The defense argues that Copeland's credibility is in question, citing his previous claim of untruthfulness as critical evidence that could benefit their case. Young Thug faces charges related to allegations of leading a criminal gang, which his legal team disputes, asserting that YSL is merely a record label.
