Jury selection in the RICO trial of Atlanta rapper Young Thug and his co-defendants has been anything but dull. From an alleged drug deal in court, to a juror being assigned a 30-page written essay, the trial has kicked off to an unusual start. The Law&Crime Network’s Angenette Levy discusses six of the strangest moments in the trial so far with Atlanta Journal Constitution Crime and Courts reporter Shaddi Abusaid. They talk about how this could end up being one of the longest trials in Georgia’s history.

16:58 ; Yes… because he can’t put them in Fulton County jail for 20 days bc it’s a mess in there & there’s no room.
"naked zoom bomb" ðŸ˜Â
This need to be updated and I would like to hear how this trial have effected ppl lives financially
Fani needs to spend less time on the beach and more time cleaning up this county
Industry favorite son
So 3 separate jurors got in trouble?????? One for trying to record… one for going out of the country for work… & one for listening to the media???
This not school ðŸÂ«.
Amazing, can’t wait to read her paper! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How could you take care of your family and pay your bills and keep your animals if you spend time in jail. I'd take the 30 page essay. I just don't know what APA style is, but I'd figure it out.
YSLðŸ˜Å
How come they never showed the girl the judge was talking to. That angle was weird and it’s also weird that the host and guess didn’t mention it as well
Judge is a power tripping dork lol
As SOON as that “judge†said shed have to write a 30 page book on why jury service is important, and in contempt i wouldve interrupted him and said i need to speak with a Lawyer first… 😂😂😂
What r they really after?
The judge is annoying and using his power too heavily. He’s ego based.
A 30-page paper is CRAY 😂 APA style 💀 I never wrote that in graduate school.
I’d take the 20
The guy in the blue shirt looks stoned lol
Punishments hard😂
30 page essay?
She deserved it the judge explained to her beforehand not to leave the country and she did it anyway
Goes to show you how a woman's emotions and hardheadness defies common sense and logic
Smmfh
@2:20 like aint nobody unemployed in Atlanta
That was a setup
I guess that judge who wanted the essay hasmt heard of chat gpt
I have to say that the people that said they’d rather have the jail time then write an essay I’ve never been to prison or jail because I would write an essay in one night rather than spending three days in prison it’s not a nice place, especially if you’re not from that kind of environment it’s really not a nice place
