You may think you know a little bit about this case but it would be a violation for you to discuss this case amongst yourselves, he said. While youre sitting here, while you go to the bathroom, when you get released to go to your vehicles, in small groups, when you come home, when youre coming in. It will be a violation for you to discuss this matter until such time as I authorize you to do that, he continued. The judge said it wont be difficult to identify those who violate his rules. How? You might ask. He said its because people snitch. Now, youre probably saying, Hell never know. Oh, Ill find out because people tend to snitch on one another, he said. A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks) Out of the 65 possible charges Young Thug faced, he was only hit with eight. Prosecutors charged Thug with conspiracy to violate the RICO act and two counts of participation in a criminal street gang. Additionally, prosecutors hit with several guns and drugs charges including possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of codeine with intent to distribute, and possession of a machine gun. The original indictment listed the RICO and street gang charges. However, the charges for guns and drugs charges derive from the May raid on his Buckhead mansion. However, the prosecutors only filed the charges in August.
