ATLANTA, GA - JANUARY 15: Young Thug performs during Gunna Presents New Album"DS4EVER" Concert at The Masquerade on January 15, 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia.in Atlanta, where Grammy Award-winning rap artist Jeffery Williams, also known as Young Thug, is accused of leading the group described by authorities as a violent street gang.
Chris Timmons, a former Georgia prosecutor who isn’t part of the YSL case, told Yahoo News the RICO and gang act indictment gives the prosecution the ability to present the case as a narrative to the jury. “You’re punishing people for their creative expression,” Lerner said. “You’re punishing people for talking about the world that they grew up in, and that they live in. And you’re making it more dangerous for, you know, anybody who wants to lay down a rap track in the future.”
But Willis disagrees. In a press conference in August 2022 she gave this admonition to the defendant: “Don’t confess to crimes in rap lyrics if you don’t want them to be used.”
