Fulton County prosecutors concluded their case on Tuesday in a historic gang and racketeering trial involving the alleged street gang "Young Slime Life," which has lasted nearly a year and featured over 175 witnesses. The trial's notable defendant, Atlanta rapper Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, pleaded guilty last Halloween and is currently on probation, while remaining defendants Shannon Stillwell and Deamonte Kendrick opted not to present evidence or testify in their defense. As the trial progresses, jurors may begin deliberations by the end of the week, with both Stillwell and Kendrick facing life in prison if convicted.
