Prosecutors Accuse Young Thug Of Conducting Drug Deal In Court With His Co-Defendant In YSL RICO Case
According to reports, there were three incidents were contraband was brought into the courtroom. One of the alleged incidents happened to be caught on camera, in the video above.
WSB-TV reporter Michael Seiden states that Young Thug and his co-defendant, Kahlieff Adams, allegedly conducted a “hand-to-hand” exchange of a Percocet pill while in the courtroom as jury selection was taking place.
It’s reported that the judge presiding, Judge Ural Glanville, has been forced to pause jury selection three times over drugs, arrests and a health scare.
In this instance over drugs, the video footage obtained reportedly shows Adams slide something into the Thug’s, real name Jeffrey Williams, hands. Witnessing what had been happening, a deputy turned his attention to the transaction and confiscated what was later determined to be a Percocet pill.
One of the rapper’s attorneys, Keith Adams, says his client had nothing to do with the alleged transaction.
He said, “His side is the truth. The reality is Mr. Williams had nothing to do with what went on in the courtroom on yesterday. One of the codefendants on his way to the restroom attempted to pass something to Mr. Williams who immediately turned it over to the deputy.”
Adams claims he and his client “did not know” what was being handed over at the time of the transaction. He explained, “He did not know. We don’t know what it is, did not know. It was turned over to a deputy right away.”
