Judge Held Young Thug’s Lawyer in Contempt… Then Got REMOVED From the Case

Описание: The Young Thug (Jeffery Williams) YSL RICO trial had one of the most intense courtroom moments in recent memory — a judge met privately with a key witness without defense attorneys present, and the fallout was immediate. Defense attorney Brian Steel raised the issue in open court, refused to reveal how he learned about the meeting, and the judge held him in contempt — even ordering him into custody during trial.
In this video, we break down what an ex parte communication is, why it matters under judicial conduct rules, how “critical stage” arguments work, and why this moment sparked mistrial motions and major controversy. We also cover what happened next: the judge being removed from the case and how the overall YSL prosecution ultimately ended in a plea deal.
