Georgia Supreme Court Overturns Contempt Ruling Against Young Thug's Lawyer
The court found that Judge Glanville should have recused himself from the contempt proceedings involving defense attorney Brian Steel.
- The Georgia State Supreme Court reversed a contempt ruling against Brian Steel, Young Thug's lawyer, due to due process concerns.
- Steel was held in contempt for refusing to disclose how he learned of a meeting between the judge, prosecutors, and a witness.
- Judge Ural Glanville, who initially found Steel in contempt, was later recused from the case for his involvement in the disputed meeting.
- The Supreme Court's decision was based on the requirement that a different judge should have presided over the contempt hearing.
- The ongoing trial against Young Thug, involving multiple charges, is expected to continue into 2025 under a new presiding judge.
