He'll get away with it because people at this point like being trampled over. People criticize the government for oversight but can't even take an extra step to figure out who they are by name and put them on blast. People love being stepped on I guess.
The sad part is this happens every day in America but with no Livestream. So these miscarriages of justice are not seen or corrected. In most instances the first bias judge would've stayed on.
It isn't accidental either. To destroy a country from within, you do so first by destroying is institution of justice. If it looks like a clown show, folks believe it's a clown show. But like you said, a lot of this happens daily but nobody sees it. Odd part is, I have had family in the courts or law enforcement for 30+ years ( I never got into it, wasn't my real) . And all of them started seeing this really get bad about 12-15 yrs ago. When a lot judges stopped being impartial judges, and instead wanted to be political or social activists from the bench. Which is not only illegal, but despicable. I can say I experienced it yrs ago. Got a conviction on a case eventhough the prosecution provided the wrong paperwork to my lawyer and the judge. But the judge let it go ( also illegal) . Then proceeded to convict me of the charge & go on a tirade of words which included some not so " impartial" comments about myself , eventhough she didn't know me from a hole in the wall. 2 months later she was removed from the bench , disbarred .. but allowed to retire with pension for up to 20 yrs of cases where she ( yup she) was found to have convicted folks of crimes and increased fines & jail time based on race & socio-political reasons. In short this "judge" was a headache to the state because the judge used the bench as a tool of racism and socio-political bias. Giving some people barely a slap on the wrist & others beyond the full extent of the law decisions .... based only on her "personal social and political ideology" according to the articles written about it... conveniently hidden in the last couple pages of the newspaper and never mentioned on local news.... quaint how that happens.
@@imalittletoxicjustalittleto many people make money off illegal drugs they will never do that. Ffs the CIA uses their drug money to fund wars all over the world you think they’re going to give that up for 20-25% in tax dollars that they wouldn’t even get.
YT’s lawyer will definitely be getting a lot more clients, he simultaneously got his client time served on a lesser charge and exposed the incompetence and possible corruption of the DA & courts.
Willis wasn't the prosecutor. While she's the head of the office, she wasn't handling the case. (Sort of like how your boss at work isn't handling your day-to-day job duties). The prosecutor handling the case was Adriane Love.

Shoulda kept his rich self in jail and let out people who actually are not guilty sitting in a cell for some petty shi. Tired of these celebs getting out of shi while they lock up regular people.
The first judge that threatened the defense attorney to reveal his source is some diabolical, insane behavior. Kudos to Mr Steele for not revealing that source.
Nah most are awaiting trial cause they couldn't pay for bail. Or they've plead guilty to avoid having to deal with all the wait for a trial and risk potentially getting a significantly longer sentence.@@ash1eyrose
I hate when people bring in politics into every conversation but I have to point out how it's always the "Law and order" states where they try to desperately skirt the rules
@pandorin2348 it may not even be a case of a public defender not caring. They could just have an insane amount of cases assigned to them with a fraction of the recourses that a lawyer from a bigger firm has. Sadly, the results can be the same regardless of intent.
Yep and not only are the cards stack against with the judges and lawyers, it also the jury. It’s supposed to be a jury of your “peers” but more often than not people in a jury are dumb to the system. Many jury meme we have never been involved in any kind of legal stuff, they’re the people that think if you get arrested you must’ve done it. Not realizing that you can get arrested for something as simple as someone didn’t like you and lied on you
This is why having money for a decent lawyer makes such a difference, Can you imagine someone who could not afford one, facing such an Unethical Judge and DA working hand in hand like this?
The way they dropped murder charges, gun charges, gang affiliation charges…they really did not have a case but many people cannot afford to go through litigation. Just a sad look into what most black people will experience in the criminal‘ justice’ system. Honestly hope this unveiling of how corrupt prosecutors can be will push more Black people into criminal justice reform. We need more black lawyers and lawyers who are willing to fully defend their clients, bc people like Lil Rod and Balock are examples of inept counsel and prosecutors being conniving.
I had no idea about this case and WOW. Thank you for highlighting this story. It was obvious how invested you are in this case, and it was great to hear the passion in your voice explaining it to us.
Steeles closing rebuttal during the sentencing was 250 IQ move. It was a great detail to highlight and it puts the prejudice of the prosecution on full display.
@@juliuspresley9982 1 in 3 did their job, those are abysmal numbers and not something id want to look forward to if I was accused of a crime i did not commit
The system is perfect… our judicial system is made to punish and create a class of enslave people. It’s not meant to actually prosecute crime. If it was nearly all the wealthy men in the US would be in prison right now for fraud and tampering… not some gangbanging rapper
Huh honestly with all these “reformed” gang bangers I could see that being real it’s actually kinda dope like they’re taking that word used to demean and categorize them and make it a positive thing.
@@dashawnbarnes4401doubt it. He didn’t need to, because the judge and prosecution were so shady and incompetent. I knew this was over when the first judge got sent packing.
You can tell Aba is passionate about this one, he didn’t even put on a shirt 😂 Excellent coverage! I had no idea what was going on with this case and now I know enough to be able to 🤦🏽♀️ at how dumb this all was 😂
A lawyer friend of mine once told me, " There's no such thing as a justice system. There's a legal system. We (judges and lawyers) made that system so complicated, no one but us can understand it, because that way the people that can afford us will always need us."
The Lead Attorney has talked about the Probation Trap before. These are not men who are capable of following the restrictions placed on them for 15 years, and the judges know that
Aba, they just made a 20v2 with that kid Lil RT again, and its grown woman asking him "can you handle me" cant we do something to stop this? Its the 3rd vid with the kid, its beyond disturbing and sad
@@Lynndra80 i have but the other 2 vids are still up from months ago, many people arent reporting it just leaving angered comments, we need a widespread report if that route will work, when i tried to comment on it telling people to "report" youtube sent me a noti saying my comment was flagged as spam and will be removed which is weird bc when i commented again without the word included it went thru
Young Thug might as well start calling Brian Steele “Dad,” just like Kodak does with Bradford Cohen. I mean, Cohen got presidential pardons for Lil Wayne and Kodak, and Steele’s right up there with that level of skill.
Not humbled enough, from what I saw they got no consequences for their corrupt, unethical behavior. Even when you win your case and get it thrown out. Even if you get Compensation. Its usually a good Idea to move out of the Area where that DA/Crown Prosecutor and Police Department Operate. Because some of those people take it personally and if they were unethical to get you into a court facing charges they will not hesitate to do it again to try and get revenge on you and to hound you any chance they get. I have witnessed this before. Hell even innocent witnesses that they unsuccessfully try and intimidate are not safe afterwards.
@@DaMuss-e2wheck just watch tales from the hood. Officers got payback on a man who exposed multiple crooked cops. The revenge may not be as bad but still scary.
Yeah this WHOLE TRIAL was insane from start to finish. I feel like I was watching a train wreck unfold in court. This is the first time I've felt like an entire DA's office needs to be investigated because it just seems like nobody over there is qualified
everyone go listen to Brian Steele cook during the plea closing. Max Shardt and Brian Steele and most all of the defense lawyers but especially Steele and Shardt were amazing.
If he had been found guilty, he would have been set free on appeal, since the judge and DA did some questionable things. They need to be investigated and charged if found to have broken any laws or policies.
The likely reason she didn’t grant with prejudice is because if/when one of them slips up, the court will have them all back in there and hopefully the prosecution can get it together and convict the right people.
Brian Steele was right in wanting to let it go to trial before the jury and let them decide and win in appeal. But I get not wanting to spend another year or two after spending 2.5 years in jail for Mr. Williams. This hurts to see that with out cameras he is railroaded. Think of all those who got railroaded.
Most hilarious part of the case to me was when that one guy hacked into the monitors inside the court room while the case was on going, and then started shouting"free tug, free tug!!" 😂😂😂
I live in Georgia. So I been watching this trial from the beginning. 😂 that shit was more entertaining than the Johnny depp one. Just a total waste of taxpayers dollars tho. But very entertaining
State RICO case by an incompetent district attorneys office. Do not confuse that with a FEDERAL RICO case because if the feds are in on it, youre going to jail.
Hold up! This court case started 3 years ago?? Man im getting old quicker than I expected EDIT: Never mind… read someones comment that it was 3 years ago and thought that was the facts. A quick google search confirms that the court case started november 2023, but Young Thug did get arrested on May 9th 2022 and was in jail all this time, until today.
I truly believe that having these high profile cases be live streamed are critical to improving the US judicial system. Knowledge and information are crucial for reformation
I originally thought Young Thug was guilty. When I started watching the trial, I began to realize he was being unfairly prosecuted. I was completely shocked that the state brought this case to trial with the horrible evidence that they had. The evidence was so poor that I even became confused. It's sad because it makes you think how many people were railroaded by this prosecution. I'm glad that cameras were allowed in the courtroom to expose the Fulton County District Attorneys Office. Just sad.
They had nothing to prove he did the things they charged him for. No where near anything to prove the level they needed to to convince a jury that he 'did these crimes' I wonder how many people have agreed to please deals like he did because the state has the money to keep them in prison until they are worn down like Thug was and have no fight left in them. We already know people take plea deals because they can't afford to pay for lawyers for as long as the state wants to drag it out for. That's a tactic the state has that should not be allowed. The state should have to limit the amount they can pay lawyers and witnesses to the same as the accused can afford to have real fairness. Having the state with unlimited funds vs your average Joe means the state can prolong the case until the accused runs out of money and practically force them to sign unfair plea agreements
It really is a good thing to watch some live streamed trials. It's part of why I really got into LawTube creators like The Lead Attorney, Nate the Lawyer and many others
Brian Steele is a savage. Homie was told to serve twenty days in jail, and asked to be put in a cell with yung thug so they could work on their legal defense over the weekend.

Shoulda kept his rich self in jail and let out people who actually are not guilty sitting in a cell for some petty shi. Tired of these celebs getting out of shi while they lock up regular people.
You're absolutely right. I couldn't agree more. @@MVP-mu1jf
The first judge that threatened the defense attorney to reveal his source is some diabolical, insane behavior. Kudos to Mr Steele for not revealing that source.
The one thing I love about the law...
It's never about who is wrong or right... It's whoever can tell the best story...
Idk about never lol, most people in prison are in fact guilty.
@@ash1eyrose If theyre guilty then the prosecution is more likely to "tell the best story".
Nah most are awaiting trial cause they couldn't pay for bail. Or they've plead guilty to avoid having to deal with all the wait for a trial and risk potentially getting a significantly longer sentence.@@ash1eyrose
I should’ve been a lawyer 😂 made up stories all the time when I was 5
@@ash1eyrosemost but not all. That’s scary when you think about it
I live in Georgia and I watch my homeboy get 25 years based on the judges feelings and no evidence at all
That's is depressing man. Danm.
I hate when people bring in politics into every conversation but I have to point out how it's always the "Law and order" states where they try to desperately skirt the rules
Yea. Lucky for YT, he has money for a good lawyer. Too bad for brothas like us we get a public attorney who doesn’t give a F
@pandorin2348 it may not even be a case of a public defender not caring. They could just have an insane amount of cases assigned to them with a fraction of the recourses that a lawyer from a bigger firm has. Sadly, the results can be the same regardless of intent.
Shit happens so much, only money can help
This was dope. I'd like to see more case reviews on here
That judge is out of order. He did the wrong thing by holding that ex parte meeting with the witness then had the gall to hold the lawyer in contempt!
He said we finna have problems!!
🤣
Its more than just out of order, its blatant corruption and perversion of justice.
Thats Georgia 😂
Tell me who snitched now! No? Jail for you!
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
This is why the justice system scares me. Determining what is just, is played out with an unjust game
Yep and not only are the cards stack against with the judges and lawyers, it also the jury. It’s supposed to be a jury of your “peers” but more often than not people in a jury are dumb to the system. Many jury meme we have never been involved in any kind of legal stuff, they’re the people that think if you get arrested you must’ve done it. Not realizing that you can get arrested for something as simple as someone didn’t like you and lied on you
Seemed like yt lawyer was more disappointed to hear he's walking free, like he didn't even believe thug was innocent
This is why having money for a decent lawyer makes such a difference, Can you imagine someone who could not afford one, facing such an Unethical Judge and DA working hand in hand like this?
@@Damnitjim7are you talking about Brian Steele, Thugs lawyer? incorrect if you are. He fought his ass off for him.
The way they dropped murder charges, gun charges, gang affiliation charges…they really did not have a case but many people cannot afford to go through litigation. Just a sad look into what most black people will experience in the criminal‘ justice’ system. Honestly hope this unveiling of how corrupt prosecutors can be will push more Black people into criminal justice reform. We need more black lawyers and lawyers who are willing to fully defend their clients, bc people like Lil Rod and Balock are examples of inept counsel and prosecutors being conniving.
I live in the ATL metro and your summary & take hit the nail on the head
I had no idea about this case and WOW. Thank you for highlighting this story. It was obvious how invested you are in this case, and it was great to hear the passion in your voice explaining it to us.
This didn't shake my faith in the justice system. It just reenforced my distrust of it.
Thanks for posting. I don’t know how this was not all over the news!
God, even the O.J. case wasn't this sloppy.
Man Southerners already got a bad reputation. Now is trickling down to the business level
If the glove dont fit.
You gotta aquit
Evidence wise yes it was! 😂
'Disorganised' is the understatement of the year. 🚩
Steeles closing rebuttal during the sentencing was 250 IQ move. It was a great detail to highlight and it puts the prejudice of the prosecution on full display.
Shout out to your team for putting this together so quickly it’s a lot of information to go through

Perfect example of how broken our justice system is
but doesnt the fact the last judge points out the ludicrousy of this case shows that the justice system is not completely broken
@@juliuspresley9982 1 in 3 did their job, those are abysmal numbers and not something id want to look forward to if I was accused of a crime i did not commit
The system is perfect… our judicial system is made to punish and create a class of enslave people. It’s not meant to actually prosecute crime. If it was nearly all the wealthy men in the US would be in prison right now for fraud and tampering… not some gangbanging rapper
You mean that some judges are incompetent/corrupt and only there because of some coloring of the skin.
DEI hires...incompetency at it's finest.
Appreciate the analysis on this. I had only seen headlines about the probation, so I didn't know much before this.
This is going to be the first Young Thug album that I actually eagerly listen to.
I would suggest listening to his album called punk it was really a personal and vulnerable album
So you're telling me the lawyer that said "THUG means Truly Humble Under God" was the intelligent one in this case...?
Bro what is going on
That line was straight 🔥 tho
@@bricksterness3654 truuuu but if I was the prosecutor and heard that I can't imagine being like "Fuck man. That's our whole case. "

All that, and he walks on probation? Either he was truly innocent (questionable), or they REALLY FUMBLED THIS DAMN CASE FROM BEGINNING TO END
man he prolly got someone in his pocket.
They fumbled
@@dashawnbarnes4401doubt it. He didn’t need to, because the judge and prosecution were so shady and incompetent. I knew this was over when the first judge got sent packing.
They fumbled the shit out the case like that golf dude who killed his wife
And they said State has a 97% win rate on Rico cases 😂
You can tell Aba is passionate about this one, he didn’t even put on a shirt 😂 Excellent coverage! I had no idea what was going on with this case and now I know enough to be able to 🤦🏽♀️ at how dumb this all was 😂
To heck with the case, I had no clue Aba had tattoos 😂😂😂
I gave up following the case cuz there was too much f*ckery going on. I'm glad Aba decided to give us a recap. Lol

A lawyer friend of mine once told me, " There's no such thing as a justice system. There's a legal system. We (judges and lawyers) made that system so complicated, no one but us can understand it, because that way the people that can afford us will always need us."
And your friend is absolutely right. Justice is a fallacy.
They call it the JEWdicial system for a reason
This is not true
@Hcaz1113 Funny enough...my friend is jewish. "There's best kind of lawyers." His words. Not mine.
Brian Steele was a real one for confronting that corrupt judge and not backing down. Insane case from beginning to end
Thug took a plea on a mistrial. Completely bananas. His plea is loaded with landmines. One lil slip up and thug is gone.
I mean, all he has to do is clean his act up. Stay away from drugs, guns and all co-defendants except for business contact.
I feel like thug is gonna do something small to slip up and it’s gonna get him thrown back into jail
But he niggas on the inside he'll fall through the cracks
The Lead Attorney has talked about the Probation Trap before. These are not men who are capable of following the restrictions placed on them for 15 years, and the judges know that
He took a plea on a mistrial but we don’t know what was worked out in the back room or even what he was threatened with in the back room.
Aba, they just made a 20v2 with that kid Lil RT again, and its grown woman asking him "can you handle me" cant we do something to stop this? Its the 3rd vid with the kid, its beyond disturbing and sad

@@Lynndra80 i have but the other 2 vids are still up from months ago, many people arent reporting it just leaving angered comments, we need a widespread report if that route will work, when i tried to comment on it telling people to "report" youtube sent me a noti saying my comment was flagged as spam and will be removed which is weird bc when i commented again without the word included it went thru

That Judge said in the most politely way "how are you so bad at your job".
Tbh I think you summarized it well and made easy for someone like me who doesn't follow court cases, easy to understand. It was definitely interesting
He really did a great job! It makes me want to watch the trial but I won't understand it if someone doesn't explain it like Aba has!
I was literally thinking that when I came across your comment!
Young Thug might as well start calling Brian Steele “Dad,” just like Kodak does with Bradford Cohen.
I mean, Cohen got presidential pardons for Lil Wayne and Kodak, and Steele’s right up there with that level of skill.
Trump sold pardons (like others have done), that was just a transaction and not any skill.
Didn’t they both pay Trump for pardons?
Yeah bro doesn’t know what he’s talking about Trump sold pardons for a million a pop.

This was a shambles. A lot of money spent.
Shame.
Looks like the court got...... Truly humbled under god
Facts
Not humbled enough, from what I saw they got no consequences for their corrupt, unethical behavior. Even when you win your case and get it thrown out. Even if you get Compensation. Its usually a good Idea to move out of the Area where that DA/Crown Prosecutor and Police Department Operate. Because some of those people take it personally and if they were unethical to get you into a court facing charges they will not hesitate to do it again to try and get revenge on you and to hound you any chance they get. I have witnessed this before. Hell even innocent witnesses that they unsuccessfully try and intimidate are not safe afterwards.
@@DaMuss-e2wheck just watch tales from the hood. Officers got payback on a man who exposed multiple crooked cops. The revenge may not be as bad but still scary.
Thanks for covering this case! It is very interesting, loved the structure of the video 👍🏽
Yeah this WHOLE TRIAL was insane from start to finish. I feel like I was watching a train wreck unfold in court. This is the first time I've felt like an entire DA's office needs to be investigated because it just seems like nobody over there is qualified
The entire system down there is corrupt… they may have done this on purpose 🤔
Great recap Aba. I hadn't kept up with this case at all so this was all news to me.
How embarrassing they gotta bring in some old lady to clean up 2 years of tax payer theft.
I'm pretty sure the whole judicial system got overwhelmed about how good Young Thug flow was when they used his music in the trial as proof.
everyone go listen to Brian Steele cook during the plea closing. Max Shardt and Brian Steele and most all of the defense lawyers but especially Steele and Shardt were amazing.
I know it’s a lot of work for you to do the breakdown, I could listen to you breakdown the trial for hours
If he had been found guilty, he would have been set free on appeal, since the judge and DA did some questionable things. They need to be investigated and charged if found to have broken any laws or policies.
True they all should can get arrested and prosecuted
They left Questionable a long time ago, they did outright immoral and illegal things.
Down side would be having to sit in prison waiting for the appeal to play out.
@TheLuceon yeah but the lawsuit afterwards for false imprisonment would be nice.
Glad you covered this. Great mini doc
when a judge demands to know who snitched on him, justice has looonnnggg left the building.
The likely reason she didn’t grant with prejudice is because if/when one of them slips up, the court will have them all back in there and hopefully the prosecution can get it together and convict the right people.
Yup.
The Brian Steele rate just went up ASTRONOMICALLY bc of this case, salute gang 🫡
Great recap. Spot on
Brian Steele was right in wanting to let it go to trial before the jury and let them decide and win in appeal. But I get not wanting to spend another year or two after spending 2.5 years in jail for Mr. Williams. This hurts to see that with out cameras he is railroaded. Think of all those who got railroaded.
Or about to. Myself included
Most hilarious part of the case to me was when that one guy hacked into the monitors inside the court room while the case was on going, and then started shouting"free tug, free tug!!" 😂😂😂
Omg 😂

Im from south africa and in this video you broke down the case in a way that i understood, better than any other ive seen regarding this case
No matter where you stand on what he did, everyone is guaranteed a fair and speedy trial. He did not get that.

Hold up! This court case started 3 years ago?? Man im getting old quicker than I expected
EDIT: Never mind… read someones comment that it was 3 years ago and thought that was the facts. A quick google search confirms that the court case started november 2023, but Young Thug did get arrested on May 9th 2022 and was in jail all this time, until today.
Holy shit you’re right‼️
Nah it definitely mustve started like last year March lmfao no way it was 3 yrs
Damn you are getting old and Yes This Court Case was started 3 Years Ago
So 3 years. Lol 3 Mays passed, so 3 years.
@@mobbossgambino I am sorry to tell you this, but your math ain’t mathin 😂
I truly believe that having these high profile cases be live streamed are critical to improving the US judicial system. Knowledge and information are crucial for reformation
I originally thought Young Thug was guilty. When I started watching the trial, I began to realize he was being unfairly prosecuted. I was completely shocked that the state brought this case to trial with the horrible evidence that they had. The evidence was so poor that I even became confused. It's sad because it makes you think how many people were railroaded by this prosecution. I'm glad that cameras were allowed in the courtroom to expose the Fulton County District Attorneys Office. Just sad.
lol this doesn’t mean he’s not guilty . They just couldn’t prove it
Nah I think some of the charges are definitely true but because they did a such a shit job of gathering evidence they walked with nothing.
@@kevinchavez5766irrelevant if the state does not have evidence to prove it
They had nothing to prove he did the things they charged him for. No where near anything to prove the level they needed to to convince a jury that he 'did these crimes'
I wonder how many people have agreed to please deals like he did because the state has the money to keep them in prison until they are worn down like Thug was and have no fight left in them. We already know people take plea deals because they can't afford to pay for lawyers for as long as the state wants to drag it out for. That's a tactic the state has that should not be allowed. The state should have to limit the amount they can pay lawyers and witnesses to the same as the accused can afford to have real fairness. Having the state with unlimited funds vs your average Joe means the state can prolong the case until the accused runs out of money and practically force them to sign unfair plea agreements
@@kevinchavez5766innocent until proven guilty dumb ass
Thanks for posting this video. I hope this gets more visibility to those who don't know, those who don't watch news anymore.
It really is a good thing to watch some live streamed trials. It's part of why I really got into LawTube creators like The Lead Attorney, Nate the Lawyer and many others
