Thug’s lawyer off the hook in court contempt charge
Young Thug’s attorney Brian Steel has, by the directives of the Georgia Supreme Court, recently had the contempt of court ruling erased from his record.
On October 22, the court dismissed the contempt charge leveled against Steel, according to 11Alive. This happened during Thug’s RICO Trial in June, and it was about Steel seeking a confrontation with Ural Glanville, the then presiding judge over the trial, over an alleged conversation between the Glanville, several prosecutors, and a key witness for the state in court proceedings that morning.
When Judge Glanville asked Steel to tell him how he knew of the meeting, Steel would not divulge the name of the person and was subsequently taken out of the Judge’s courtroom.
At first, Steel was given a 20-day jail sentence to be served on ten consecutive weekends, only for him to escape serving time after being released on bond pending the appeal hearing of the sentence.
