Young Thug Pleads Guilty and Exits Trial as Remaining Defendants Face Life Sentences in Atlanta Gang Case
The jury in the gang and racketeering case against Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, returned to the Fulton County courtroom to find that he is no longer on trial after pleading guilty to gang, gun, and drug charges last week. With three other co-defendants also having entered guilty pleas, only two defendants remain, facing serious charges related to the 2015 killing of rival gang leader Donovan Thomas Jr. The trial continues with testimony from former co-defendant Wunnie Lee, while Williams hints at a possible return to music following his release.
