Co-Defendant in Young Thug Trial Accepts Plea Deal

Quamarvious Nichols pleads guilty to racketeering, while mistrial motion looms over ongoing trial.

Quamarvious Nichols, a co-defendant in the Young Thug trial, has accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty to a single racketeering charge.
In exchange for Nichols' guilty plea, prosecutors dropped charges of murder and weapons possession against him.
Nichols received a 20-year sentence, with seven years to be served in prison, including credit for time already served.
The trial, which began with jury selection in January 2023, is Georgia's longest-running criminal trial.
A mistrial motion is under consideration after a prosecutorial error revealed prejudicial information to the jury.
