Young Thug Requesting That The Judge Throw Out “Involuntary” Comments Ahead of His RICO Trial

“All of [Young Thug’s] statements must be suppressed from the trial in the above-referenced case, and all witnesses must be instructed not to utter the fact that [Young Thug] made any statements which were not voluntarily made, were made in violation of his Constitutional right to counsel and made in violation of Miranda warning,” Steel explained.

“Additionally, no mention can be made that [Young Thug] was given the opportunity to speak with law enforcement since this is post-arrest.”

Chief Deputy District Attorney Michael Sprinkel sent the seized devices to Cellebrite so they could be searched even though they were meant to be returned in 2017.

According to Steel’s new documents, the prosecution violated Thugga’s “possessory interests in his lawfully obtained property that the prosecution had absolutely no legal right to possess.”

“Instead, without lawful right to keep, hold, inspect, possess or examine Mr. Williams’ property, the prosecution’ team’ continued to illegally hold Mr. Williams’ property and search these items,” Steel said.

Steel requests that any evidence obtained on those devices be excluded from use in Young Thug’s impending RICO trial.

In addition to his RICO charges, Thug was hit with new charges in August. He now also faces a new gang charge, new drug charges, possession of a firearm while committing a felony, and possession of a machine gun.

So far, Young Thug’s bond has been rejected three times, and he will likely be in custody until the set trial date on Jan 9, 2023.
