The court heard in an unpredictable manner, with an unexpected delay. As Thugger's lawyer, Brian Steel, pleaded for evidence suppression, a video of a nude guy flashed across the courtroom screens.
However, security quickly shut down the broadcast, which displayed the message "Free Young Thug" across the screen, and the trial resumed.
Young Thug was attempting to have evidence collected from cell phones seized throughout a search of his home in 2015 excluded. A judge threw the charges stemmed from the raid judging the search illegal.
Thug's lawyer claimed that the gadgets seized in the search were suppressed by written order in April 2017 and should have been given to the rapper, but were never.
Judge Glanville agreed with Young Thug, ruling that prosecutors' evidence was invalid. “You didn’t have the right to keep that,” the judge stated. “You didn’t have the right to keep that particular evidence.”
Young Thug just took a massive W in his Rico case today after the judge dismissed illegally obtained evidence by the State of Georgia where in 2017 they illegally accessed Young Thugs phone 💪🏾 pic.twitter.com/A2u8jLsihh
