Young Thug’s Lawyer Wants His Lyrics & & More Thrown Out of His RICO Case

Young Thug, Gunna, and the YSL team go on trial for RICO and other crimes on January 5th.

Thugger’s legal representatives do not desire his customer’s lyrics held versus him.

They’ve submitted a petition to  &#xA 0;Judge Ural Glanville to keepThug’s bars out of court.

&#x 201C;The admission and usage of these lyrics/poetry/artistry versus [Young Thug] in his approaching trial would be a Constitutional offense and an abuse of discretion, unconstitutional and too prejudicial. Moreover, utilizing these lyrics/poetry/artistry/ speech versus [Young Thug] is inequitable and racist due to the fact that the jury will be so poisoned and prejudiced by these lyrics/poetry/artistry/ speech. &#x 201D;

And that’s not all:

&#x 201C;[Young Thug] has the outright right, like all individuals in America, to work out legal speech/expression, &#x 201D; his legal representatives argued. &#x 201C;Therefore, these lyrics/poetry/words/ speech/artistry needs to be omitted from the Indictment and omitted from all testament and proof provided in trial.  &#xA 0;Further, any videos, pictures, posts or like images that handle these lyrics/words/speech/ poetry/artistry needs to likewise be omitted from trial. Said videos et al. are secured speech/expression. &#x 201D;

There has actually been a nationwide motion to keep rap lyrics out of court.  &#xA 0;

However, this appears like a huge ask, particularly if the district attorneys can connect Thug’s images and words to particular criminal activities.

The hasn’t ruled on the petition.

trial is anticipated to last the lion’s share of the year.
