Prosecutors Conclude Case in Historic YSL Gang Trial

The trial, marked by legal controversies and dramatic courtroom events, now shifts to the defense for closing arguments.

The YSL trial, the longest in Georgia history, has seen prosecutors present testimony from over 175 witnesses over nearly a year.
Deamonte Kendrick and Shannon Stillwell are the remaining defendants, facing charges including murder and racketeering, after other co-defendants took plea deals.
The trial has been fraught with issues, including the removal of the original judge due to a secret meeting with prosecutors and a witness.
Judge Paige Reese Whitaker has taken a stricter approach, often challenging the prosecution's evidence presentation and witness testimonies.
The defense argues YSL is merely a record label, not a gang, as the trial moves towards jury deliberation by week's end.
