Key Witness in Young Thug Trial Jailed for Refusing to Testify

Kenneth Copeland, a pivotal figure in the case, invoked the Fifth Amendment despite immunity, leading to his arrest for contempt of court.

Copeland, known as 'Lil' Woody,' had been granted immunity but refused to testify, citing potential federal charges.
His testimony is central to the prosecution's racketeering and gang case against rapper Young Thug and associates.
Defense attorneys argue that Copeland's refusal prejudices the jury, calling for a mistrial.
Prosecutors allege witness tampering influenced Copeland's decision not to testify.
The trial has faced numerous delays and complications, with only a fraction of witnesses called so far.
