Nefertiti0 Posted October 31 Posted October 31 (edited) Young Thug pleaded out of his long-running racketeering conspiracy case in Georgia on Thursday and was immediately sentenced to time served, 15 years of probation and a "backloaded" sentence of 20 years that would only kick in if he violates probation. "I take full responsibility for my crimes, for my charges. I want to say I'm sorry," the artist, born Jeffery Williams, told the court before hearing his fate. He has been in custody since his 2022 arrest. Williams, 33, pleaded "no contest" to Count 1, racketeering conspiracy, and Count 56, participation in a criminal street gang in a leadership role. He pleaded guilty to three drug charges, two gun charges and one lesser gang charge. Young Thug must stay away from the metro Atlanta area for the first 10 years of his probation, except for weddings, funerals, graduations or serious illness of family members, the judge said. But she also ordered him to return to the Atlanta area four times a year during his probation to make a live anti-gang, anti-gun violence presentation at a school or a community organization serving children. She said that can count toward the 100 hours of community service she ordered him to perform each year during probation. He's also not allowed to associate with gang members or with the victims or other defendants in the case, with the exception of his brother and the rapper Gunna, with whom he has contractual obligations. He also cannot promote any criminal street gang or gang activity and can't use hand signs or terminology that promotes a street gang. Additional conditions include submitting to random drug screens and not possessing a gun. But he is allowed to travel both nationally and internationally for work, even while on probation. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/young-thug-plea-ysl-rico-trial-1235148330/ Edited November 1 by Nefertiti0 1
qurl Posted October 31 Posted October 31 him agreeing to accept potentially 25 years is crazy but i hope the judge will take into account how poorly this trial and case was handled and knock most of that off
cat1867 Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Young Thug pleads guilty to six counts, no contest to the other two (RICO and leading a gang) state recommends 45 years, serve 25, 20 on probation (according to new york times)
cat1867 Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Also I would have just taken the first offer Young Thug is in court facing the judge for a non-negotiated or blind plea, which means the judge decides the sentence. The initial deal would have released him from jail today on 15 years probation. However, he did not agree on release conditions. Prosecutors are recommending 45 years to serve 25 with 20 years on probation.
