Fulton County Judge Set to Sentence Young Slime Life Member in Major Gang Case as Charges are Reduced

Damekion Garlington, 29, had his serious charges reduced in a plea deal in Fulton County's gang and racketeering case involving the alleged "Young Slime Life" gang. Garlington entered a non-negotiated Alford plea to five charges, including conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and aggravated assault, leaving his sentencing to Judge Paige Reese Whitaker. This plea reduces the number of serious charges in the ongoing prosecution, with only two defendants remaining as preparations for a second trial continue.
