The Young Thug trial went off the rails today.

Young Thug's lawyer Brian Steel has been taken into custody amidst the YSL RICO trial. Overall, it appears to have stemmed from his accusation that the judge and the state were allegedly attempting to coerce witnesses. This information comes to us from the account THUGGERDAILY which has been instrumental in documenting the Young Thug trial. As the account explains, Steel alleged that he had evidence pertaining to this supposed coercion. However, he was unwilling to give up his source.

Subsequently, the judge hounded Steel for proof and threatened to have him taken into custody for contempt of court. Steel stood his ground while many of Thugger's other lawyers came into the picture to stand up for their colleague. Eventually, Steel was taken away in handcuffs in what was one of the most harrowing moments of the trial thus far. It was shocking to everyone in the court, and many online are reeling from what they just witnessed.
