MS Love is the one who needs to get suspended/revoked/disbarred. She is unethical and unprofessional.
And the judge is dirty obviously to, she letting this go on, letting Ms love do whatever she wants, to do, It's obvious here!!!!🙄😤
@@kimme2806the Judge definitely isn’t corrupt or dirty so you have no clue what you’re speaking of & have not an ounce of law knowledge. Do better & stick to your own profession. What is it? Working at Walmart of Wawa?
@@dudemorris7769 U don't have to have a lot of brains, to figure that out! Thirsty!!🙄🤨 And I said what I said! Buy!🤡
@@dudemorris7769you sound crazy thinking the judges not corrupted or dirty you can’t be watching the same thing everyone is watching
So, out of nowhere, Melnick is suspended for a case from a number of years ago? 😳
Been watching this trial every day. I find the timing of Jonathan Melnick's suspension rather suspicious. The DA's office has been disparaging him since they decided to make Kenneth Copeland their star witness. Everything about the YSL case has been carried out in an unorthodox manner. At times the judicial and prosecutorial misconduct has been brazenly blatant. And the defense attorneys probably have whiplash by now, from being blindsided by the court so many times. But the real travesty of justice is that those young defendants have been sitting in the Fulton County Jail for two years while the games are being played in that courtroom.
I hope they call the team in to find a resolution. This case is so corrupt this is serious
Seems like a very hefty penalty.
It’s like watching a bunch of clowns at the circus 🤡 the state getting too many chances, clutching at straws comes to mind, miss love and her office needs to be investigated!! Unfair trial !!
Shouldn't Judge Whitaker and the State's Prosecutors have been made aware of this morning before placing Woody on the witness stand
** IF ** they knew about it, then in my opinion the judge should have told him. But I do not know when the judge learned of it
I feel like State and Judge absolutely knew about Manick suspension. I’m sure they had hand in it!!!!
@@InsideTheLaw Phil! I can't believe she's doing this! I can't believe this judge is allowing this to happen again and obviously she's dirty also!!! This isn't right!!! At All!!! Like this is why everyone wants to get out of Fulton County!!! Yall see what's happening to Brian and Jeffrey, and at this point, It's getting worser and worser,, I hope God, will find a way to get all of these, dirty Judges and D.A'S out of office for good man,..🙄😤?
@@dedehigginbotham7346they wouldn’t have known about it til Melnick came and told them. That is when they found out. They were in trial when the rumors started going around. So what is your professionalism that tells you the “judge” knew ahead of time?? You don’t know? Hmm, good thing the majority are paid for thinking…
That's odd I read it the night before on a blog
How about they suspend Love, Hylton and Willis. There is where the investigation should be. The DA's office needs to be reviewed
1000th per cent agree with you
Remedial Brady? More like they should have to take the two day bar exam again, not even the one day attorney’s exam. Bet they’ll struggle to pass it
Well said!!! I agree wholeheartedly! The state has done so many things wrong and the judges LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!
Judge Whittaker is no different. Waste ot time. @@louellamoyer5578
ABSOLUTELY 💯
God Bless the defense attorneys in Fulton County, Georgia. Good people, please vote Out Corruption.
When Woody said his lawyer was suspended, the judge sent the jury back. Then when they weren't there, she mentioned she had heard that. Was she going to allow woody to testify without a lawyer, that sounds wrong to me
Shameful!
I'm glad that the jury got to hear that
Disgusting
Soooo wrong and unlawful
@@cindyellsworth8610why?? That means the jury heard that his lawyer is shady & they can see woody is shady & an admitted criminal on the stand.
I’m so glad Woody said in front of Jury I have NO Lawyer!!!! Praying 🙏 jury is paying attention to all this. New Judge Woody’s attorney being suspended!!!!
Why??? Wuudy isn’t a defendant so the jury nor anyone would think he ever had an atty.
YOUR VERY STRONG DEFENSE of this man sorry to write, DOES NOT say much for you. Ray Delbury Sussex County NJ USA
I’m not defending anyone’s actions
Phillip, thank you for explaining the ins and outs of the process and consequences of attorney misconduct. I always appreciate your insight!
I agree, he will need my cane by the time he gets through with this case! Lol
I still don't understand how they can compel Woody to testify with immunity that he never asked for!
I believe your question is answered in what "Woody" told detectives after his arrest. He now claims his statements were lies to avoid jail
& from his own prosecution. Under duress Woody had turned against YSL ( Williams) to save himself. He told detectives what he now says, "was anything they wanted to hear". Prosecutors had to get YSL on *gang* charges on what Woody told detectives.
Prosecutors offered Woody Immunity, as their "star witness" against Williams. Woody has now reversed course, under immunity, and denied everything he ever said, and damaged the gang charges made by the State, including the violation of RICO.
Defense lawyers complain the State is acting on "theory", hearsay and lack of their own evidence.
@@marilynrattan5659 contempt of court -failing to testify via subpoena -handed to Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro… 3 months jail. Woody should get the same jail time. Exact same ruling.
@@Niki_P_he can be compelled to testify & that’s what happened. He claimed he was going to plead the fifth after he signed an immunity contract.
@@dudemorris7769 Correct. if he didn’t testify. As he didn’t before and spent the weekend in jail.
I suspect there is more to that punishment then just a disciplinary proceeding.
Thank you Mr Phil
Always enjoy your content always learn
Blessings to you and yours
Thank you!
They have treated Woody badly, I think.
Glanville behind this? Phillip, represent Woody❤
So is this the highest Georga court just pulling Jonathan Melnick off of woodys case for some strange reason?
"Right to a speedy trial" might mean how long it takes to get it started, but apparently not how long it takes to end, whether infinity or beyond.
This one is lasting "to infinity and beyond"!!!
If Woody all of a sudden changes course now that his previous attorney has timely disappeared this will look rigged.
Judge W needs to let it go!! Declare mistrial..
Fulton couty must have loads of tax payers money to throw away its a shame to see whats happening to those guys and there defence attorneys not getting a fair trial 😢
They don’t. This is likely going to be a failed attempt at proving Willis is tough on crime, gun violence, and gang related activities in Fulton. Wrong case, wrong defendants, wrong charges, wrong ADAs, just wrong.
How are they not receiving a fair trial?
I hope someone in GA, steps up and financially assists Mr.Melnic
Feels like retaliation to me.
Do a story on this tomorrow - Conflict of interest-Judge Whitaker and Fani at a Church together for a campaign event.
State commits RICO in an effort to prosecute RICO. LOVE violated Brady from Opening Stmt til this day. They want a fishing expedition.
What...!!!! Suspended ....!!!???
Ridiculous
Really find your channel very informative and you explain things so that I can understand .Thank you
Here is my question, who was the special master and what relationship do they have with the district attorney?
I am EXTREMELY
curious about the connection between the "special master" and the Da's office... sounds like there may have been some "digging" involved here for this to just happen to be an issue right in the heart of this YSL trial and Woody testifying. Hmmm...
What are your thoughts on that Mr. Phil?
My thoughts exactly- definitely sus
Facts
Why did the judge and prosecutors let Woody testify without giving him notice! This is wrong and the judge and state should be suspended! Many people should report Love's and Hylton's misdeeds along with Whitaker's bias. She has not been a fair judge! Hylton has told Woody, in court, yesterday and again today, that he has Fed. immunity. That is wrong!!!
It came from a totally different court, and I think by time word got around. I think that is one of the things that got whispered to the judge when he was in the stand by her court attorney.
I suspect that he wasn't there before they started, he may not have been at the very end of the trial last night. Because I think he would have caught the issue with the immunity agreement.
I find it hard to believe that they went and got Copeland Federal Immunity between Thursday and Monday.
Some one needs to step in and help!!! This Judge is dirty!!! Man this is Ridiculous!!! I Can't believe this sht again!!!🙄😤
@@CatInWonderlandsExactly!!! Man these people gotta go, this Judge has to go!!! 😤😤🙄🤬
Whitaker is no better than glanville. Whitaker is trying to unscramble scrambled eggs and attempting to legitimize her clown show she's presiding over. Mistrial already!
@@CatInWonderlandsthey can’t get Woody federal immunity & the Governor stated he hasn’t got Federal immunity yesterday. The Governor is the only person who can give him a deal or immunity & it doesn’t include murder. He also can’t admit to committing any murders on the stand with the state or he will be charged, that was not inclusive in his deal. The prosecutor claimed he was good on both in the court when the Judge asked her, that doesn’t mean the Judge granted him anything. His atty was in the court room, Melnick & told Woody himself during break, it was his obligation to tell the Judge beforehand, not the Judges to guess that a lawyer has been suspended.
QUESTION: Is Melnick not allowed to call his client/Woody when such as situations such as today? Isn’t what they are suspending him for, causing him to do exactly what they say he did?
I subscribed and hit the like button!! I Love watching you and @DWC streaming together.
Prosecutors want to control Woody.
Are the GSC members friends with Love? Does this disciplinary action harm Woody?
Considering the current judge is trying to get on the supreme Court there, and we have all seen her ability to try to cover up corruption... I would be willing to bet there a lot of ties going everywhere throughout that whole system which actively works to undermine absolutely anybody who won't play their game
Is judge Ural Granville the SPECIAL MASTER NOW ?
If Good lawyers are all doing podcasts instead of practicing law, Then the odds are those left in the court room are what ??? Crap ?
I have never seen a prosecutor like love have the client's best interest at heart would
I truly believe that while this has been in the works, someone got it rushed through quickly to get at Melnick because of his going at Love about her knowing he was Woody’s attorney and how all of the secret ex parte’ came out. Woody still on the stand was a bonus for them. This whole trial is as shady as they come with prosecutors who tell lie after lie with never called out on them except by the defense but always excused by the judge, much less they ignore deadlines requiring them to provide materials to the defense but they ignore them, and more. As DWC says, poor Woody is nothing but a commodity for the state. IMO they don’t care if he is shot and killed unless it happens before he is finished testifying.
Is there a crime?
I've written a song, about some recent real crimes.
Weaving fiction through facts with lyrics that rhyme.
Is a DA guilty, if they only pretend to fight crime?
Can they get into the record, a page full of lies?
In the form of a question that the witness denies?
Can a juror be blamed for a daydreaming mind?
Can they ever recoup all these hours of time?
This trial is best watched after smoking a dime.
And a baggy of meth with a straw to snort lines.
By my mailbox I wait, biding my time
My dream job on a jury, I'm ready to shine.

Oh so u can pay for a kid that's not yrs legally without having the child legitimised, I believe if I'm understanding this right all kids should be legitimised prior too paying a cent!
How much did Fani or Love pay for this? All of my coincidences’s are spent.
Old Thug trial 😂😂! You’re killing me Smalls 🏆😂💯
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - Burl Ives "There's nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity!" Love it!!
The judge flat out asked in court today if he have Federal immunity and they said he did and nobody has ever said that he has Federal immunity including John melnick who told him to still take the 5th but cuz the immunity was not broad enough
Does the Special Master have any connection to Fanni or Grandville?
I am not usually a conspiracy theorist but what are the odds that this happens during this trial?
They made me a conspiracy theorist in 2020. Turns out there was really no conspiracy at all. However, I want to know the same. This is no coincidence. IMO
I am with you!!! I LITERALLY just posted something similar! Very curious
There are photos of the judge and fani at a fundraiser that fani held for the judges reelection campaign
@@Taydutt13 Why does that not surprise me
@@Taydutt13the Judges work all for the DA so why wouldn’t you not support your Judges, that’s across the board, nonpartisan.
Why didn’t judge tell Woodie he didn’t have a Attorney? I pity Woodie soo bad
The Judge knew around 9 am that Kenneth Copeland’s attorney had been suspended, yet she didn’t tell him.
Woody should stand down he is key to trial so he has power. Who can he trust now. This is an attack!!!!!!
@@bslat10says who?? You?? 😂😂😂😂😂
Feeling sorry for a known killer convict, that’s what’s wrong with this country.
@@dudemorris7769 Morally if Woody was said there was a back room meeting as he did. This opens testimony of the Exparte meeting bringing it in by prosecutors. Hilton motioned to Judge W and an immediate pee break. Too bad all views seen. Hopefully Steele knows and runs with it in court.
This reprimand is extremely harsh!! I disagree with it!! This will destroy his business.
Yes, it is the "death penalty" for his business.
They got a lawyer
He said he has a mental disability and a hearing problem , so his American disability act rights have been violated
Woody has no rights. The DA took away all his rights when he was a child
WOW ARE U SERIOUS😢@@debralabarge614
I too was surprised that the court suspended him outright for the allegations. While it appears he clearly violated the rules, the damage to the client was minimal given that he paid the costs to the client. I would have thought that especially in light of the YSL trial that the suspension would have been stayed.
This is clearly retaliation
Hahaha, that’s not how the law review board works. It goes by how grievous the act is the atty commits & if someone files a case against them. There’s nobody who can just file against an atty, it’s either clients or Judges that must be involved in the case.
@@dudemorris7769 not saying it’s not true but imo if they had a stack of complaints his moved to the top of the pile right quick
Can Melnick be compensated for work he performed on ongoing cases prior to today?
That's wild. There's a whole lot of families these days where mom n dad are perfectly happy not being married 😳.
Woody stops testifying the case is over. Getting rid of Melnick the prosecutors can control Woody
1:10:16 who would have thought that would not have been the craziest thing about this case? 😅
How is this Rico case constitutional
Why do we have another Dirty Judge!!!?😤🙄🤔Omg!!!; She is really letting Ms love ask the same questions over and over and over, like No!!! This is Ridiculous Now!!!!!🤬😤🙄Why is this happening!?I just can't believe it, I can't believe this is happening to Young Thug and Brian Steele!! Some one needs to step in!!!.....🤬🙄😤
Could it be due to State offering Woody immunity that he receives attorney? I thought it would be State appointed attorney.
@@dedehigginbotham7346 To get a public defender you have to first submit financial info to prove you can’t afford to hire an attorney. In this case Judge Whitaker said the public defender’s office sent out a request for a volunteer - likely because it’s faster.
Question: I was told during my divorce that once a mediator has settled, it’s a done deal and the judge just approves when appearing in court, so why was there a dispute afterwards?
They reportedly backed out of the deal reached at mediation
31:12 can he appeal this?
He can ask for reconsideration but there is no higher court to appeal to
Because nothing about anyone that seems to get involved with this case seems to not somehow have things get overly complicated, even when it should not be. I do feel Melnick may have gotten a lighter one if he hadn't been all over the YSL case. I do have a question about how this could impact back on YSL, if at all.
So here is my hypothetical, semi thought exercise - getting a bit to real for a worse case situation. (The irony being i had similar hypothetical questions about what happens when judges screw up, which lead me to the YSL case)
Copeland is getting a public defender, as of today. I would hope they want to see the immunity agreement, in light of Melnick getting suspended. (Regardless of how we all feel about it). Which I would think is the basic to do get caught up on a case, along with "what are you giving testimony about and what are the dangerous areas" i.e. things they could independently prove.
Say they find out he only has the state derivative immunity. They find out that is not what Copeland was told on the stand by the judge, who confirmed it via Hyland at the end of Monday night. Because it changed from State to Fed from when they last talked about it. Everyone is raising eyebrows at that. (Sure it is possible, but likely?)
Would that be a mistrial? Regardless, what happens to Copeland? Because the feds can use that right? (Assuming they could actually find evidence, which is where things get questionable for me).
So is love responsible for this being disproportionately high to what was expected?
#replay
I really liked Melnick however, as a lawyer he should be held to a higher standard and appears that he has not learned that he can not juggle the number of cases he has on his own. If I had a lawyer who failed to inform me of a hearing and it caused me to lose out on something, I would fire the lawyer and file a misrepresentation report against him. I hope he takes some time reassessing his career choice and if he goes forward as a lawyer, the first thing he should do is hire a paralegal who can do the contact needs and your calendar.
A wise older lawyer made sure I hired an admin for just that reason. They are a true asset and can help make sure this kind of thing does not happen. A good CRM platform is also a necessity.
Question: what is this trial mainly about. I mean honestly an alleged gang member gets unlived and crime runs rampant in Fulton County ( still is ). When there are crimes from 1990’s and involving AA people that don’t even get a blink. What makes this case besides it being a RICO so special?
Amazed that so many forgot that we had 4 years nearly of delays on court proceedings with the entire plandemic. Our country & courts were shut down but on a very limited scale through July 2023. Only then did they begin working on many cases picked up in 2019 - 2023. You can look all over social media and see where many cases are just now making it to court & when it becomes to discipline of attys, that’s going to be low on the list to get through with so many back log of people siting in jail still, especially in Fulton County. Same as Fani Willis, it may take 2 years with the entire court system to even sanction her for 90 days.
We've seen this judge and Fanny posing for a photo...they look pretty chummy
Would you work for Woody?
@Inside the law his clothes were stripped from him the toilet didn’t work and he couldn’t eat and was without water when he was taken to another County’s Jail. This information was said in a video.
Manipulation and intimidation unforgivable
I’m Not a lawyer, just a critical thinker and I do believe that, given the fact that his livelihood is severely impacted, this is severe and an alternate punishment is warranted. However, the consequences of a lawyers actions have impacts way beyond the life of any decisions borne from them. I’m sure that lawyers appreciated this when they start out but ‘familiarity breeds contempt’ is a truism in all walks of life and lawyers are no exception and it’s clear they quickly become somewhat inoculated to this consideration. Where I would disagree with you, and where I think his real mistake occurred, was in not offering restitution as soon as his client raised it with him. That’s where he lost me and, I’m willing to bet, that’s where he lost the decision to go more lenient.
A statement, as individuals I do like people who are lawyers but as a class you guys suck!
I think the Lawyer is too Greedy and took too Many Cases, However I think the Suspensions is CRUEL PUNISHMENT, Did you Know you can File Anonymous a Complaint with DOJ, if you see Some Ones CIVIL RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED, Forms are Free to Type and Print out, also see TITLE 18: USC 242 Read it Carefully,
Karma at its finest!
He came in court, aware that the cameras were rolling. And angry & loudly accused Ms Love of unethical conduct, and unnecessarily claimed he's referring her for punishment...Apparently, " he shouldn't have been throwing stones, when he's living in a glass house! "
Or the system is corrupt I bet you are aware of that.
I feel you are biased 😉
Good he lost his law lisence. Now apply the same rules to the rest of lawyers in Ga. Follow the Rules. No symaphy for this guy. NONE.
