Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Ural Glanville has been removed from the case against Young Thug and others due to recusal requests from two defendants. Judge Rachel Krause granted the motions, citing the need to preserve public confidence in the judicial system. This decision will likely further delay a trial that has already been ongoing for over a year. Young Thug, along with more than two dozen others, was charged with racketeering, gang, drug, and gun crimes. The defense argued that Glanville's meeting with prosecutors and a key witness was improper and influenced testimony. Despite Glanville's insistence that the meeting was appropriate, the recusal was deemed necessary. The case, alleging violent crimes connected to a gang associated with Young Thug's record label, has been highly publicized. The trial's delay will extend the legal battle for the Grammy-winning rapper.
