• Share on:

During the ongoing trial of Atlanta rapper Young Thug, Judge Paige Reese Whitaker expressed significant frustration with Fulton County's lead prosecutor, Chief Deputy DA Adriane Love, questioning her competence and candor as the trial enters its 22nd month. Whitaker criticized Love for allegedly failing to disclose evidence and for presenting the case in a disorganized manner, which has contributed to delays in the trial, the longest in Georgia's history. Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, faces charges related to his alleged leadership of a violent street gang, which he denies.
