Young Thug Accepts Plea Deal in High-Profile YSL RICO Trial

The rapper, born Jeffery Williams, pleads 'no contest' to multiple charges, receiving time served and 15 years probation.

Young Thug faced charges including racketeering conspiracy and participation in a criminal street gang, along with drug and gun violations.
Williams' plea deal includes a 20-year backloaded sentence that activates only if he violates probation.
The trial, plagued by delays and controversies, saw three co-defendants accept plea deals this week.
Key witness Kenneth Copeland's inconsistent testimony weakened the prosecution's case against Williams.
Judge Paige Reese Whitaker criticized the prosecution for mishandling evidence, which nearly led to a mistrial.
