Defense attorney Brian Steel, representing Young Thug, was sentenced to 20 days behind bars by Judge Glanville for criminal contempt after refusing to reveal his source of information about a meeting between the judge, prosecutors, and a reluctant state witness. Legal experts argue that Steel was simply doing his job and should not have been held in contempt, let alone given the maximum sentence. They anticipate Steel's sentence to be put on hold pending an appeal, with expectations of a reversal of Glanville's ruling. The legal community in Atlanta was stunned and angered by Steel's punishment. Glanville's handling of the case has drawn criticism, with calls for his recusal. The situation has raised concerns about fairness and impartiality within the Georgia judicial system, with some attorneys predicting potential mistrial implications. Steel's ordeal is seen as a sign of Glanville's personal animosity towards defense lawyers and may have a more detrimental effect on the judge than the attorney.
