The ongoing YSL trial took a dramatic turn as Lil Woody took the stand, delivering jaw-dropping testimony that directly implicated Young Thug. However, in a shocking twist, Woody admitted that his claims were all part of a desperate attempt to protect himself from legal trouble.
“I Just Blamed Him to Get the Police Off Me”
Lil Woody, a key witness in the trial, opened up about how he repeatedly pointed the finger at Young Thug to shift the heat off himself. Woody admitted, “The police kept locking me up for whatever they could. Every time I couldn’t go anywhere, they were on me, and they kept bringing up Thug’s name.” Feeling cornered, Woody said he made the decision to falsely accuse the rapper of crimes he knew he didn’t commit. “I knew they would never mess with him,” Woody explained, indicating that he never actually believed Thug would face consequences based on his false statements.
According to Woody, his main motivation was self-preservation. “My whole motive was, ‘Thug did it,’ because I knew he didn’t do it, and they couldn’t lock him up,” he said. The witness also shared that he would say whatever was necessary to get the police off his back. “They keep talking about it—Thug, Thug, Thug, Thug, Thug—so guess what I’m going to tell them? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What else you want me to tell them? Yeah, he killed his first, yeah, he did that. That’s what I’m going to do.”
Woody’s Struggle to Recall Key Details
When pressed on the specifics of his interactions with law enforcement, Woody’s memory seemed shaky. When asked about a particular incident on January 11, 2015, when he reportedly spoke to the police about the murder of Donovan Thomas, Woody responded, “I don’t remember.” He was further questioned about whether he went to the police department on his own to declare his innocence in Thomas’s murder. Woody’s response? “I don’t recall.”
As the trial continues, Young Thug’s legal team will undoubtedly use Woody’s admissions to challenge the credibility of the accusations against their client.
Stay tuned as we continue to follow the latest developments in this high-profile case.
