Summary
Many defendants pled out in the YSL RICO Case. Only 2 defendants remained - Deamonte Kendrick (aka Yak Gotti) and Shannon Stillwell. Kendrick was found not guilty on all the counts against him, and Stillwell was found guilty only on one count: Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Stillwell was sentenced in court to 10 years, only two to serve in jail, and he was credited with time already served and the rest is probation. I'm sure Jeffery Williams aka Young Thug's attorney is kicking himself right now, but it was his defendant's choice to plead open to the court and that needed to be accepted.

| 0:05.7 | but this is the QuickBit clip to keep you in the loop for everything that's happening on the |
| 0:11.1 | live stream channel. Let's get into it. This case was already the longest case in Georgia history |
| 0:17.9 | because jury selection started, and I talked about this in quick |
| 0:22.6 | bits this week as well, but jury selection started in January of 2023, coming up on two |
| 0:30.8 | years ago when jury selection started. Jury selection ran until November 2023. |
| 0:36.9 | Two defendants remained in this trial that |
| 0:39.1 | originally started with seven defendants and people |
| 0:41.7 | pled out along the way. But when this |
| 0:45.5 | 88-page RICO indictment came down, |
| 0:49.3 | they charged a total of 26 defendants |

| 0:59.1 | and then other defendants had different charges, |
| 1:01.3 | and so they had mixing and matching of the charges. |
| 1:04.9 | But when Young Thug, who was kind of the lead named defendant, |
| 1:09.0 | pled guilty, his lawyer was just like, do not do this. |
| 1:12.7 | His lawyer's like, he wants to get out. I want him to ride it through to the end of trial. |
| 1:21.0 | And I went through his plea deal and his extensive amount of time on probation. |
| 1:26.3 | But he also took a bunch of felony charges, like a bunch of them. |
