The trial of Jeffery Williams – Young Thug – veered off the highway, after a witness at the center of the case was arrested after refusing to testify.
— in Atlanta has again veered off the highway, after a high-profile witness at the center of the case was arrested on the stand after refusing to testify.
Prosecutors argue that Williams rented a car at Copeland’s behest, and that this car was used in that drive-by shooting. Proving that Williams knew the car would be used in the crime is central to the state’s racketeering and gang case against the rapper. Melnick entered court throwing rhetorical axes at prosecutors. He said that he was unaware that the district attorney’s office had been preparing his client for trial testimony until the day before, and had contact with Copeland without an attorney present. Assistant District Attorney Adriene Love said that Copeland told them he wasn’t represented and had been cooperating freely up until that point.Notably, the district attorney’s immunity offer does not extend to potential federal charges.
We asked Judge Ural Glanville’s staff attorney Wesley Kearns if Glanville would issue that instruction as an order. Kearns then approached the judge to presumably pass that along. Glanville did not issue that order before ordering Copeland jailed for willful contempt following his refusal to testify.
