- Young Thug co-defendant Quamarvious Nichols took a plea deal on Tuesday afternoon in the YSL RICO case. The trial has been on hold for almost a week due to a statement another co-defendant Slimelife Shawty made. Nichols pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the RICO Act. Judge Paige Reese Whitaker sentenced him to 20 years, with 7 years to serve.

Young Thug faces nearly a dozen charges, including possession of drugs and weapons, participation in criminal street gang activity, and conspiracy to violate Georgia’s RICO Act. The rapper was arrested in May of 2022 along with 27 other alleged gang members. Many of those defendants have taken plea deals in the case.

He took a plea without having to tell on his friends!! That’s how it’s supposed to be done ! Man got A deal of a lifetime
Na take it to the box not guilty or prove it
@@milehighjo why.... they not granting a mistrial and the states witness made it sound like this qua was locked up prior tainting their judgement
@sincity7304 I agree a first I was wait what....now I see what he did. I wonder if the next one is Lil Rod.
He did tell on them. He plead guilty to RICO. Telling everyone YSL is a gang/ organized crime organization . Which means the court just has to prove you're a part of YSL to get a charge without having to prove you committed any other crime.
@@_SHANE_news flash it’s not illegal to be in a gang. they haven’t proven they did anything in furtherance of the gang
He was tired of sitting in there😂😂😂
Lmao
I said the same thing
He only has to serve 9 more months before he is eligible for parole is what defense attorneys just said on a live stream. Also his plea doesn’t hurt anyone else on trial
How long will his parole be?
Long.
As he's not dragging , nobody down , take it
Eligible is the main word here
@@707geezy he gotta do wats best for him
@@jamespeters928413 years
I feel like the attorney was filled with so much emotion. It was tough for him. You could tell.
Yeah he was so emotional 😭 made me emotional 😢
He’ll be aight
Yes, so sad. These young men need help to succeed in life beyond their environment and upbringing. Thankful that at least his lawyer cares about him. All the prosecution and judge cares about is getting this RICO conspiracy charge validated. Very sad.
@@emerald5328me me emotional too 😭
I love a passionate lawyer
That lawyer deserves every dollar
I agree! He was truly moved.
All 6 figures
his whole team of lawyers does. gonna miss seeing his female lawyer 😍
@@cosha78I’d say it’s easily 7 figures by now- unless his lawyer gave him a discount
Brother found guilty of only hustling ! Great lawyer !
Lol, but he has to do 7 years, no such thing as probation, because as of right now, as soon as he gets out he will be deported. Any conviction with a sentence of a year, 365 days, if not a citizen, you do your time and then deported.
@@531mareDid you miss the part where they said he was born and raised in Atlanta?
How then do you deport a U.S. citizen? To where? 😂😂😂
@@531maretf are you talking about?! Have u not been watching the trial?! His man is a US citizen born and raised in Atlanta! He’ll be home in 9 months! They sentenced him to 40 months he’s getting credit for 31 months.
@capsrule85 No his sentence was 7 years. He's doing 40 months at least. IF he stays out the mix until he's up for parole.
Convicted Felon in possession ... you take your own charge though
He knew he couldn't take all the charges..so he negotiated to take one and sacrifice his rights without telling on anyone else..GREAT NEGOTIATED PLEA!!! AWESOME LAWYER!!! He'll be home in a couple months. That's how your supposed to move when you're back against the wall.
Bruce Harvey still the TRUUUTH !!!!!
REAL STAND UP‼️
He got 7 years - not 7 months. What video did you watch? He will NOT be home for Xmas
@TheLeadershipLawyer he did 4 years already smart guy.. in 9 months he is eligible for parole, even tho he may not get it... 7 years is no where near what he has remaining
Bullying By State Attorneys is a serious crime against humanity
😉👏🎯⚖️
This exactly what they did
YSFAIL Robbing people and shooting up blocks are even bigger crimes 🙄🤦🏽♀️
@@immadomenow Absolutely. But that needs to be proven BEYOND a REASONABLE doubt
You are 💯 percent correct
i am so happy for Quamarvious Nichols that he was able to get leniency in this very corrupt case..I applaud Mr. Harvey, you where incredible, justice was served, Thank you Mr. Harvey for your compassion & diligence 😢🙏
❤
What are you talking about, this guy was involved in a murder, you people praise these CRIMINALS, like they’re productive citizens. I pray that you don’t have kids, they’ll grow up to be just like these dudes. People like you are a DISGRACE.
@@gracereward150 , Amen!!
This attorney deserves an award for defining 'zealous representation of a client.' I was truly moved by his words.
@@GB-TX, So was I.
Do you understand that after this you will not have to hear Hylton, Love, Whitaker? YESSSSS!
😂😂😂
PERFECT!!!!
😂
Omg yes. 😂
How
When your Lawyer comes to silence to console his emotion…..😢
Mr. Harvey exhibited compassion towards Mr. Nichols, i’m pretty sure all attorneys established a bond with the client. Also to have both your parents pass like they did it hurts. I’m pretty sure the courtroom deemed Mr.Nichols a product of his environment Judge Whitaker had mercy upon Mr. Nichols. 💯
Oh please he was putting on an act but not Oscar worthy🙄
@@t.vaimaona7219 , She sure did.
@@immadomenow , That was real.
He had an amazing, awesome, loving, and supportive attorney. He truly cares. I 🙏 he has a productive lifestyle
@@angelajefferson1773, They all became his family.
Bro got one of the sweetest deals ever
And did. You saw him hugging and smiling at the end!
The lawyer got quiet, it got me emotional, and I teared up. He's a great lawyer.
25:12 wow that lawyer loved that young man.. 🙏😎
Bro lawyers fomt café only the money
@@marioleija827that maybe true for most but these men have sat side by side almost daily since January 2023. Qua been locked up since May 2022. If you think they don’t consider each other family by now, you’re trippin! There is def love there!
Right he said they did a word of the day. Most lawyers ain't worried about ur mental.
@@marioleija827maybe prosecutors but defense lawyers love saving ppl
We love him too
I watched this live earlier and cried so hard. Rewatching and crying even harder. wtf. Harvey really cared and supported his client. I pray Nichols gets his life on the right path.
@@Lissand4 , Amen.
9 months..Bruh will be out before this case is over
Bruh? Really?
@@Pe6ek bruh calm down i dont have to speak the way u want me to speak
This case got to be over before December 31, 2025
Did they say he wasnt a US citizen? If he isnt, he will be deported as soon as he gets out.
I remember this woman judge telling Woody Does he want to testify or wait till February and jail because this is how long this case is going to be and he didn't want to wait and jail till the trial was over so he testified
The DA's office should be ashamed of themselves! Every citizen deserves a FAIR trial. When the brady rule was broken it should have been a mistrial immediately! The DA's office & some of the detectives is an embarasement to the justice system. I agree a speedy trial is nonexistent in this case! The excitement in her voice is disgusting. Humility speaks volumes which the DA's office is absent of. Even through the embarrassment of this lame job zero humility. I can't imagine what else has been done in addition to the brady violations. They have some great attorneys whose hearts are in this too!
😉👏🎯⚖️
Also, failure to complete a speedy trial.
Lmao the state drops murder chargers as long as you agree that ur in a gang crazzzzzy
He never said ysl was a gang y'all need to.listen
He wasn't in the car with the shooter,.he was in the other car
@@staywoke7he took the deal 🙄
@@staywoke7 I never quoted what he said. You need to learn how to read he agreed to the rico charge… what does Rico mean??
Exactly, this is nuts!😊
It’s so easy to say what he shouldn’t have done when your not the one facing basketball numbers. He took the deal because he was guilty. He dodged a bullet.
7 years for a body he got off fr
I must’ve misunderstood I thought he got probation
@ZazaTyson he did and a few yrs. But it won't be much time. I believe his probation will be 13yrs when he gets out. If I knew the time stamp I would post for you.
@@12tnfnhow is that getting off? You don’t know what’s coming his way. 🤦🏽♀️
@@immadomenow wym what’s coming his way?
This is the perfect definition of "IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM? YOU SIMPLY JUST HAVE TO JOIN THEM" Unbelievable the way these young men are being treated.
❤❤❤
Well it’s their own faults, they were caught committing crimes and then snitched on by other fellow criminals. That snitching after multiple crimes to where the cops & detectives were able to verify it by securing the evidence off cameras in the area, is what got them all caught up. Wuudy thought he was getting the heat off himself & wound up taking the entire organization down with him. Each one has testified they were absolutely operating as a gang under the YSL name. That is what’s going to get all of them long sentences. The smart ones are taking the lesser pleas & will be testifying or they lose their deal.
@@dudemorris7769they were “caught?” So far watching this trial seems like they’ve got the wrong defendants in the case
Innocent upstanding citizens no doubt
@@The_Steelman i don't know them personally to make that particular discernment, however, they were certainly not at church for what we all know so far. This trial is a complete circus if you will.
Sounded like the State was trying to add in some erroneous charges! But his attorney says not to those charges!!
They always tryna sneak shyt in 😌
They sure were, Harvey don't play about the law and he re reads his pleas unlike MT lawyer
@@purdyhen7903 yep and love was livid when her trick didn’t work!
I’ll take that plea, especially when they’re taking a murder charge off !!!
Right if u don't u cray!
That part💯
It isn't about snitches. Its about him not spending time in prison
What a loving Lawyer, talk to Q with respect. Please Lawyer get someone to mentor him
Awesome lawyer he cares for his clients ❤
He's so awesome ❤
He only pleaded guilty to charges that was already in evidence 😅 he beat murder and having to testify. By the look on love face he hit them with the reverse uno card😅
👍🏽❤️
Thinking he got away with murder is wild
Nobody should be subjected to the unusually cruel jails and prisons in GA.
You never beat murder. Never.
They’ll reverse right back if the feds pick up the Murder charge, & she made that very clear to him
😂Ms Love face when they deny the gang acknowledgement
Priceless
Yeah I see that it’s like another one of her silly plans flopped 😊
Time stamp
19:33 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Priceless!
Its up from here Quay Happy Birthday! F ninjas that just dont get it. You had a long hard run with them now its time to fall back and think about your family.
What made a great decision..No murder charge ,no testifying and no snitching..Best of luck King
I AGREE
Neither one of them District Attorneys should be able to hand out no type of deals being they can't even run a regular court session
If I’m facing murder I’m taking the plea im not gambling with my life
💯💯💯
No 🧢
All them guys got top flight counsel
This is like dropping out of school in the 12th grade
Why stop now when you made it this far
You gotta know when to hold them and when to fold them...
Equivalent
That's why he has a lawyer and your not it.
@@Rolling2Much he might know dem Alphabet boys at the door waiting
Ms. Hilton tried to add on other chargers to run together or not. The judge had to jump in and correct her. SMH
I'm so sick of her
Mr. Harvey is a real one. Job well done ❤
Job well done ❤❤❤❤❤
Mfs don't even be guilty just be tired of the broken justice system. The state has violated brady so many times. He should not have taken a plea.
Gotta prove it though & it has to be accepted as a Brady violation by the courts. The fact they had already admitted it on video prior & all the evidence was available to the defense, they just didn’t have the resources to go through it all.
You were going to pay his attorney?
I don’t know him …I would like to write him not on no craziness! I just don’t like to see us go down like this when we all no this trial has been unfair .
You need help😂
he has a wife. he don’t need your support lol.
Would you like to rewrite that statement in English, please?
All that information is at the county who is holding him. Maybe right a fella that's vying for your attention instead of thrusting yourself into complication.
Babygirl stop being scared of rejection & go get the dude you want SMH you outside no hating at all but you sound crazy ASF. Sheesh
Dropped the murder charge 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hilton's voice gives me nightmares. And to my knowledge these prosecutorial misfits have shown no evidence of proof that YSL was a gang. The whole thing is a travesty of justice.
@susy590 ✨When I read your comment, at first I thought it read: "Hitler's voice gives me nightmares." And, I was thinking "Absolutely!". Then I saw it really said: "Hilton's voice gives me nightmares." And I was like "Absolutely! Same difference..." ⚖️
They’re a gang but I don’t see them as an enterprise
Her voice is at its worst when she mumbles, "Fair and accurate depiction," lol
His female lawyer was the one that asked for the mistrial because the witness from last week read his name on the stand. So I’m guessing they offered this deal instead going with the mistrial and starting over again with a new trial.
This judge is a deceiver in this case for the prosecution
This is so sad 😞 I wish he hadn’t took no PLEA DEAL… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
He was charged with MURDER??? Why was he the only one given this great deal?? It wasn't free he gave up something don't be foolish he told them something.
@@lynn8796he wasn’t the only one just the only one that took it
He wasn't charge with murder @@lynn8796
The plea deal was sweet. He committed the m. He guilty. So that plea deal dismissed that m charge completely.
Why not?
Lack of guidance gets you here
Yeah. He was failed from day one unfortunately 😢
Every Defensive Lawyer In This Case is Raw As A mf I’m Talking U Got Atlanta Top 20 in That Courtroom 🔥 His Attorney Gave A Whole Bio On That Man On The Record 💪🏾
Fani Wllis will definitely not be re-elected
I'm a little surprised by this, since it looks like the whole trial is about to collapse, but I guess it makes sense. The murder charge is being dropped (it's crazy that there is a murder charge hidden in the middle of a RICO indictment - it's barely been mentioned so far in the trial). If the trial collapsed and they decided not to start again on RICO, they might still have retried the murder on its own. The fact that the prosecution was willing to drop a murder charge suggests they weren't confident of proving it, though...
They are going after the other defendants whom they know were in the car, & there more than one murder, I believe 3 murders.
@@dudemorris7769 There is only one murder count in the indictment. There are several attempted murder counts. And there are other murders included as overt acts.
dropped for admitting he was in a gang?? wtf
@@slimearmy1363 He hasn't admitted to being in a gang. He's admitted to being part of a conspiracy to make money by dealing drugs. He hasn't admitted that YSL was anything to do with that or that the conspiracy went any further than dealing drugs.
He’s is extremely young.. so he should have time to change his ways.
That seems like making a pact with the devil, but for some reason, he shouldn’t accept that plea😢
and the judges statement at the end 💪. she's a doll.
Wow, I hope this guy makes his lawyer proud. Change your life. You have a second chance.
Him and Shannon fighting a murder so yes take the please to the drugs because that’s all they had proof on
Women Please
@@Celia-hp9uu hahaha
@@Celia-hp9uuWoman not Women she’s one person🙄
"Quamarvious"? Just when you think you've heard it all...
Well, i wasn't expecting to cry...but I did...glad he gets a second chance.
I'm sorry I missed it how long. Does he have to serve 😢
@@Dionadarden49 months. I’m thinking he only has a few more months left. I think she’s saying why she cried was because the emotion of the council he had and how Harvey really invested his all in this case and respects Mr Nicolas
We love you attorney Harvey ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love you so much for your humanity your love your love ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The tears 😢 i love this now this a real Lawyer
I hate hearing her talk , everything sound run on and squeezing info together and like she really dnt know what she is trying to say 🙄🤦🏽♀️
Mr. Harvey is about to increase him business! Amen!🙏🏾
This lawyer is smooth . Total respect from NYC . Classic pony tail . I thought he was going to pull out the sax at the end
DA LOVE IS SOOO EXTRA!! THEY DROP THE BALL AND STILL WANT IT THEIR WAY IN THE PLEA AGREEMENT. NASTY WORK...FREE YSL
That plea is a BIG WIN. Mr Harvey did great, deserved every dollar earned. He got the state to drop a MURDER charge.
Only issue is the feds are going to pick them up right after
This was emotional
💗
Extremely ❤❤❤❤❤
When it looks like the states case is falling apart .. they'll make you an offer you can't refuse ....
Honestly,this trial has to hold the record for the longest trial and the most tax payer money wasted. Does anyone here know if this is a jury trial? Please and thank you.
MY PEOPLE LACK UNDERSTANDING WHEN IT COME TO LEGAL PROCEDURES AND PROCEEDINGS... DID YOU HEAR ALL HIS RIGHTS HE GAVE UP 😂😂😂
Yeah, but why go down for the other murders and crimes he wasn’t involved in and get a 30 to life sentence on their foolishness & adolescent behavior.
That's what happens when u are convicted of crimes
Right if he breathes wrong he doing 25 to life
Great outcome…. First time I’ve ever seen a hint of JUSTICE in A AMERICAN CURT!
This is a sad situation.
Should’ve held out if one didn’t take one none should’ve took a plea deal
That was my initial reaction as well. However after REALLY listening, this is best for him & doesn't appear to hurt anyone else. Taking it to the end was a gamble he chose not to make. Alot of those other charges hefty years with them.
That’s how he got in this mess, to begin with. Doing what everyone else is doing. No. He needs to make his own decisions and do what’s best for him and get away from them all. He needs to live his own life and use his own mind.
@@ShebrewQueen that's not the rules in the game he's playing.
Harvey was tired of coming he talked his client into taken it
Man I don’t like this at all
why?
@ because any plea is bad for the rest that are left on trial
Sitting in jail long enough make you start thinking crazy😢😂😂
Mannnn, once one pleads guilty issa wrap.
He Probably couldn’t afford a lawyer no more
Very true possiblity
Probably true
True....cuz if his only option was a court appointed lawyer then he was screwed either way. Best to take the plea deal and take your chances.
No, if last week issue wouldnt of happened, he would still be sitting in that court room on trial. His lawyer also may be a court appointed one
I’m almost 100% sure that was a major factor in taking the plea…
7yrs for a body an all that is crazy
I love’s face as he Bruce Harvey ‘again and again denies all factual allegations except the two non-violent charges’.
The feds coming fashoo smh
This plea deal definitely hurts everyone else because he agreed that everything he did was to protect and make the enterprise which is YSL Bigger and they mentioned one of the codefendant who is still on trial
He doesn’t have to testify to any factual acknowledgements. What he acknowledged was drug charges but he won’t be testifying against anyone.
He only admitted to two charges of selling drugs. They just make it sound fancy
He never plead to selling drugs for YSL or to further the enterprise
@ did you not listen to what the D.A read? She said everything was for the benefit of the enterprise which is YSL
@@brianna2621 you don’t have to testify once you agreed to doing everything for the benefit of the enterprise which is YSL that’s the same thing when everyone is going to trial and saying YSL isn’t a Gang
Why is she reading all of this😢
BECAUSE THATS THE LAW. There’s a laid down procedure that she has to follow by law. Y’all can’t be this ignorant
He got a deal of a lifetime , i expect there to be more info come out in trial later to help the court vs the defense
Great lawyer still so sad 😢🙏🏾
They dropped the murder charges... Scary
Only because he wasn't in the car with the shooter, he was in the other car
That alone would make me take the seven with 2+ already serve
@@justinkredible79they don’t knw what car did what they just got footage from the gas station not the actual shooting and they have no eye witnesses
@@FreeSlatt722not true, they have testimonies from 3 other people, including who claims the shooter was.
@@dudemorris7769 never heard it or seen it in this trial they have no witnesses to that murder and the testimony be bs
But with him gone they can’t bring up anything he was accuse of doing
What?😂😂😂 he just made it worse for jeffrey😂
@@SlimeNewsright he admitted he was apart of it by taking the deal.
@@S.T.G43True but they still have to prove it to the jury with evidence....its really up to how they see things

Happy birthday Sir
Happy birthday Mr Nichols❤❤❤
The George Jefferson pony tail is crazy
I think he is just tired
Wouldn't you be
That felony holds too much weight. I can't have a weapon to defend myself? I can't get the job that will feed my family? It's still better than life in prison.
Better carry a knife or some mase 😅
That's very long list to agree to. It's tiring listening to it. The deal was the better option.
Naw them YSL dudes be acting like they cant read after they signed plea deals lol
Great attorney
The same way these plea deals are handled by the state, the trial should be handled the same. Present the facts n move on, all that dragging that Love is doing, is killing their tailor made case.
He bit the cheese 🧀 🐀
Be out in 3 years and no snitching I would have took that deal the way this case going you never know what the out come will be.
He should not take no plea for Rico...😮😮😮
💯
Why not?
@jaywp2343 Because then that gives the prosecution a win to say they were a gang and others to take the RICO charge...when they had no rico evidence...😳😳😲😲they could not prove the unaliving either...only the drugs he had or sold which would be 3 years he already served
@Care-o9i bro ppl been took plea deals to say ysl was a gang. It's too late to fight against that. U gotta do what's best for u in these situations.
@jaywp2343 guess so...
She’s trying to get the enterprise in there so show as proof somehow towards the others.
Here come the feds
It might be a finance because I know these lawyers cost or maybe he is taking one for the team…I want to cry. Because Fulton County is not right.
I totally agree, this is really sad 😞
Agreed!
This is a great plea he’ll be home sooner than later I’m sure his children and wife missing him something bad he’ll now be able to visit his parents at the cemetery he got a cake walk but I do believe that the state had nothing but who wanna sit around in the state unorganized proven nothing case
He should have have thought about his family during his crime sprees
"Not everyone is perfect like you "
So they dropped all the charges except one,. That means the prosecution got a weak case right?
Prosecutors ALWAYS overcharge. They basically live off extorting plea deals from poor, illiterate types or trying to bankrupt the rich.
American courts need to be closed because they have too many corrupt officials in them.
Yup, and a mistrial would probably have been granted that’s why the state caved
