After nearly three years in jail, Atlanta rapper Deamonte Kendrick, known as Yak Gotti, is set to be released following a guilty plea to a single count of aggravated battery. In exchange for this plea, prosecutors dropped all other charges, and Kendrick was sentenced to 12 years with nine months to serve and probation thereafter. His attorney expressed relief at his release, emphasizing the importance of Kendrick reuniting with his family and moving forward after being acquitted in the lengthy "Young Slime Life" trial.
