Defense lawyers in Young Thug's RICO trial allege Judge Ural Glanville joined with prosecutors to “coerce' testimony from a key witness
racketeering conspiracy trial filed an emergency petition Thursday asking Georgia’s Supreme Court to step in and force Fulton County Chief Judge Ural Glanville to let an “unbiased judge” decide whether he should step down from the, the 26-page petition claims Judge Glanville committed “judicial misconduct” and violated Yak Gotti’s constitutional right to a fair trial when he held a secret meeting with prosecutors and a key witness without alerting the defense.
“The only logical conclusion for the secret nature of the proceeding was to give Glanville in conjunction with the State the unfettered ability to harass and intimidate the sworn witness into testifying,” the lawyers argue in the motion. They go on to say defense lawyers have a right to the full transcript of the meeting since Copeland may have said things that could be used to undermine his credibility on cross-examination.
