Young Thug's trial | YSL judge's fate in the hands of his colleague

Fulton County Judge Rachel Krause has rejected YSL defense attorneys’ motions to remove her from deciding the fate of the judge overseeing Young Thug’s internationally watched criminal trial.

Krause’s ruling means she is still on track to determine whether Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Ural Glanville should be recused from continuing to preside over the case.

For months, defense attorneys for Young Thug and his remaining co-defendants have been making motions for a mistrial, claiming Glanville is biased against them and their efforts to prove Jeffery Williams (Young Thug’s real name) is not the head of a criminal gang known as YSL (Young Slime Life or Young Stoner’s Life).

Prosecutors, on the other hand, want Glanville to remain as judge, as evidenced by their responses to defense attorneys’ efforts that came late Wednesday afternoon.
