Young Thug Trial Faces New Turmoil as Defense Lawyer Sentenced to Jail

Judge Ural Glanville's contentious conduct and secret meeting spark legal community backlash and potential mistrial

Defense attorney Brian Steel held in contempt and sentenced to 10 weekends in jail for not revealing a source.
Steel's arrest followed his objections to a private meeting between the judge, prosecutors, and a key witness.
Legal experts criticize Judge Glanville’s handling of the trial, calling for his recusal and predicting potential mistrial.
Ashleigh Merchant, known for disqualifying DA Fani Willis in another case, joins the defense team to support Steel.
The trial, already the longest in Georgia's history, continues to be marred by delays and courtroom drama.
