Text messages sent by a District Attorney investigator to a female witness in the RICO trial against rapper Young Thug (legal name is Jeffrey Williams) have been revealed in court.
New allegations recently surfaced regarding the behavior of an investigator working for the district attorney’s office. A female witness, only identified as A. Bennett, was questioned about her interactions with a county investigator named Hamilton. She recounted receiving text messages from Hamilton, one of which implied a personal interest rather than a professional one, stating: “Hit me up if you’re bored later. We’re not gonna talk shop.”
Bennett confirmed to Williams’ attorney, Keith Adams, that Hamilton had suggested going out on a “date,” which took place during a critical period of the ongoing legal proceedings.
“And this is February 7 of 2024, this year, when the investigator for the DA’s office is supposed to be talking to you about a case, but in fact, is calling you talking about going on a date. Is that true?” Adams asked the witness. She then confirmed.
Bennett also shared that Hamilton often referred to her as “mama” in messages, one of which detailed scheduling advice related to her testimony, indicating a familiarity beyond professional boundaries.
Bennett is involved in the trial to testify regarding a 2013 robbery allegedly involving Williams and two others. Williams, alongside 27 others, faces charges in a comprehensive RICO case filed by the district attorney in May 2022, accusing him of leading Young Slime Life, a gang with ties to the Bloods.
The defense has brought forward claims of sexual harassment against Hamilton, including previous allegations where Bennett felt pressured to meet Hamilton alone under the guise of discussing the case, leading her to bring her child for safety.
Adams further inquired if Hamilton’s advances influenced Bennett’s considerations about testifying, to which she affirmed. Bennett also expressed discomfort with other members of the district attorney’s office, including Chief Deputy District Attorney Adriane Love, citing continuous harassment despite her willingness to discuss the robbery.
Efforts by Williams’ lawyers to disqualify Love from the case were discussed, with the judge recently deciding against her disqualification. The trial, marking its 54th day, sheds light on complex interactions between legal proceedings and the individuals involved, extending beyond the central allegations of gang activity.
