Opening statements continued on the second day of the racketeering trial against Atlanta rapper Young Thug. Court proceedings began Monday, Nov. 27, 2023 in a packed Fulton County, Georgia, courtroom.
Fulton prosecutors, led by Fani Willis, allege that Young Thug, aka Jeffrey Williams, was the self-proclaimed leader of the YSL (Young Slime Life) criminal enterprise affiliated with the Bloods street gang.
On the other hand, the defendant claims that YSL — which stands for Young Stoner Life — was little more than a homegrown record label.
YSL Trial: Day 2
On day two, Williams’ attorneys did their best to turn the narrative that Young Thug’s lyrics described crimes on its head. And one point, Attorney Brian Steel said, “
“Drive-by shootings. These are common themes. This is, you will learn, this is studio gangsters. They are in the studio. They are creating music for us to listen to,” said Steel.
About a year ago, former YSL label mate Gunna pleaded guilty to RICO charges, which he claims don’t affect Young Thug’s case one way or the other.
YSL Trial: Day 1
In her opening statements, Fulton Chief Deputy DA Adriane Love opened by prepping jurors about what they will hear about Williams.
“What you will not hear any evidence of is that the defendants were not involved in a criminal street gang,” she said.
She went on to paint Williams as “King Slime,” someone who turned the community into a haven of crime.
“They created a crater in the middle of Fulton County’s Cleveland Avenue community that sucked in the youth, the innocence and even the lives of some of its youngest members,” she said.
The trial’s first day has been marked by many testy exchanges between the judge and the state and defense, including one in which all Powerpoint presentations were denied.
The judge also introduced his dog to the trial, saying to ignore it during proceedings.
Williams’ attorneys have said that the rapper is innocent on all counts.

The Atlanta Falcons beat the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Nov. 26, 2023 in downtown Atlanta. Hours earlier, a Southwest Airlines flight leaving New Orleans for Atlanta had to be delayed after a passenger open an emergency exit for unknown reasons.
Video shared on social media shows passengers hurriedly going to the exits and another flier telling them, “He put something on the plane … He put something on the plane and jumped out the window.”
Additional footage showed a man attempting to get into an airport worker vehicle before being subdued by two employees.
According to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, the passenger got out of the plane, which was still at the gate at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport about 7:40 p.m. and climbed onto the wing. He was “incoherent” and taken to a nearby hospital to be checked out.
When he jumped to the ground, where he was quickly subdued until law enforcement, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

The Atlanta Falcons beat the New Orleans Saints, 24-15 on Sunday, November 25, 2023 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta. It was the return of Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder, who had missed the previous two games due to injury and the coach’s decision.
Ridder looked sharp and relaxed in his most confident win of his NFL career. That bodes well for the Falcons as they get into the teeth of their 2023 schedule.
Here are three things we learned about Sunday’s victory.
Falcons Won Big at the Line of Scrimmage
“They did a good job of blocking us up front,” said Saints coach Dennis Allen. “We will look at schematically what we can do to be better there. That was a big factor, them winning the line of scrimmage.”
Not only did the Falcons’ offensive and defensive lines rule the day, but the Falcons safety Jessie Bates came up with a pick six that ushered in the scoring for Atlanta. Here’s how it all went down, courtesy of former NFL quarterback turned analyst RGIII.
Bijan Robinson Is a Star
The Saints had no answer for the Falcons rushing attack, led by rookie Bijan Robinson, who ran for 91 yards and a touchdown to finish with 123 total yards. He also caught a touchdown.
The Falcons (5-6) ran for 228 yards between rushes from Robinson, Tyler Allgeier, Cordarrelle Patterson and Ridder.
Behind the running game, the Falcons were able to ice the game and play keep away from the Saints in the closing minutes of the game.
“That was encouraging,” said Falcons coach Arthur Smith. “That’s where we need to be to close out game.”
Desmond Ridder Shows Confidence
Although he threw two interceptions, both of Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu, Ridder and the Falcons overcame those turnovers to get the win.
“What you like about him is the way he came back,” Coach Smith said of Ridder fighting through his struggles. “He doesn’t flinch. He’s resilient and we’ll keep working.”
“However it came, good, bad or ugly, go out and get a win,” quarterback Ridder said after the game.
Final Play
The Falcons now are in a tie with the Saints for first-place in the NFC South. Should the playoffs start today, the Falcons would get the nod due to their head-to-head battle with New Orleans and their undefeated division record (4-0).

Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar is shutting its doors at the end of 2023, the restaurant’s parent company confirmed in a news release.
Seed Hospitality Group said that it has “made the difficult decision” to close Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar on December 30, 2023.
Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar Closing Down
Sister restaurants Seed Kitchen & Bar and Stem Wine Bar will continue to serve the East Cobb Community.
“It is with humble gratitude that we announce the closing of Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar,” Chef Doug Turbush said in a written statement. “As we approached the end of our current lease term at the close of this year, we were faced with a difficult and challenging decision. After careful consideration and reflection, we have chosen to not renew our lease and will be closing our doors after dinner service on Saturday December 30, 2023.”
Turbush opened East Cobb’s Seed Kitchen & Bar in November of 2011. The eatery combines a modern playful approach to American cuisine in an atmosphere as casual as it is stylish. In 2013, the restaurant group expanded their culinary footprint and Stem Wine Bar joined the family as a restaurant that embodies inspirations from collective travels to the wine bars, tapas bars and restaurants of Spain, Italy, France, New York and San Francisco.
Three years later, Seed Hospitality Group welcomed Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar to Marietta in early 2016.
Since opening, Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar has become an East Cobb staple, boasting fresh fish and oysters flown in daily from the coasts, offering simple and elegant dishes centered around the restaurant’s wood-fired grill. Their patio transformed into Pop’s, a New England-style lobster shack pop-up offering takeout, curbside pickup, and outdoor dining every Saturday and Sunday in the summer.
“We extend immeasurable thanks to the East Cobb community and everyone that has dined with us. We are grateful for your continued support and loyalty, and we are truly honored to have served you,” Turbush went on to say. “You have trusted us with your most treasured memories, from birthday and anniversary celebrations to first dates and many other moments that we will continue to cherish. Although we may be closing, we are not saying goodbye to the memories and relationships that have been forged here.”
