Second Judge Recuses Herself from YSL RICO Trial
Judge Shukura Ingram steps down due to a connection with a courthouse deputy involved with a defendant.
- Judge Ingram replaced Judge Ural Glanville, who was removed earlier this week.
- Ingram's recusal follows the arrest of her former deputy for an inappropriate relationship with defendant Christian Eppinger.
- The deputy, Akeiba Stanley, was charged with multiple offenses including conspiracy and reckless conduct.
- Judge Ingram cited potential public doubt in the trial's impartiality as her reason for recusal.
- A new judge will be assigned to the already prolonged and complex trial.
