Judge Ural Glanville ordered Young Thug's lead attorney, Brian Steel, into custody for contempt after accusing the judge and prosecutors of meeting with key witness Kenneth Copeland without Steel present. Steel alleged coercion and witness intimidation during the meeting, leading to Copeland's change of heart to testify in the gang conspiracy case. Glanville sentenced Steel to 20 days in jail but allowed him to serve on weekends. The trial, marred by delays and drama, involves Young Thug and associates facing criminal racketeering charges. Prosecutors claim Young Thug led a violent gang in Atlanta, while the defense argues YSL is just a record label. The trial, already the longest in Georgia history, faces further delays as tensions between the defense and the court escalate. Steel's refusal to disclose his source led to his imprisonment, sparking outrage in Atlanta's legal community.
