Georgia Supreme Court Reverses Contempt Ruling
News summary

The Georgia Supreme Court has reversed a contempt ruling against Brian Steel, the attorney for rapper Young Thug, who had been held in contempt by Judge Ural Glanville for refusing to disclose the source of information about a secret meeting between the judge, prosecutors, and a witness. The court determined that Judge Glanville should have recused himself from the contempt proceedings due to his involvement in the controversy. Steel had been sentenced to 20 days in jail for his noncompliance, which sparked an outcry and led to an appeal. The Supreme Court ruled that Steel's information was protected by attorney-client privilege and that he did not interfere with court proceedings. Consequently, the trial has now been reassigned to Judge Paige Whitaker, following Glanville's recusal. This case highlights ongoing concerns regarding judicial conduct and the rights of defense attorneys in high-profile trials.
