controversy with a one-sided, closed-door meeting he had with prosecutors last month, said he would follow court rules and transfer the three requests to another judge, who will decide Glanville’s fate.
Calls for Glanville’s recusal began last month, when Young Thug’s attorney Brian Steel confronted the judge about the meeting he had with prosecutors and a witness who was set to take the stand and testify against Young Thug. The meeting was considered “ex parte” because it included only one party in the case, and Steel alleged that a mistrial was warranted because such meetings are frowned upon in judicial codes if they involve any sort of substantive matter.
Attorney Ashleigh Merchant later entered the courtroom and came to Steel’s defense, saying he was denied due process. Merchant was also at the forefront of the effort to oust Willis from her other high-profile racketeering case, which she brought against former President Donald Trump and 18 others over election interference allegations.
Young Thug and 27 co-defendants were charged more than two years ago with a slate of felonies, including Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations violations, murder, armed robbery, and illegal possession of firearms.
