In a recent development in the ongoing racketeering and gang prosecution case against rapper Young Thug and others, Judge Ural Glanville has been removed from the case after defendants sought his recusal. The basis for this request was a meeting held by the judge with prosecutors and a state witness, without the presence of defendants or defense attorneys. Judge Rachel Krause granted the recusal motions, citing the importance of public confidence in the judiciary. This ruling will likely lead to further delays in a trial that has already been ongoing for over a year. Young Thug, along with multiple co-defendants, faces charges of conspiracy, gang, drug, and gun crimes. Defense attorneys argued that the meeting held by Judge Glanville was improper and pressured the witness to testify. With a mistrial and bond being sought for one defendant who has been jailed for over two years, the case is facing significant legal challenges. Young Thug's lawyer maintains his client's innocence and looks forward to a fair trial with a new judge.
