Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, faced a lengthy racketeering trial that began in November 2023, marking the longest criminal trial in Georgia's history. He ended this trial by pleading guilty to several charges, including drug and gun offenses, thus avoiding a potential 120-year prison sentence, according to Rolling Stone. This is prepared by SSP.

Williams entered a plea deal with the Fulton County District Attorney, which was subsequently confirmed in Georgia court. Though prosecutors aimed for a 45-year sentence, with 25 years in prison, Judge Paige Reese Whitaker commuted a 40-year sentence to time served and 15 years’ probation, with a "backloaded" 20-year custody term if probation is violated.

Williams was originally indicted in May 2022, alongside 27 others including rapper Gunna, under Georgia's RICO Act, due to alleged connections with Young Slime Life, or YSL. A secondary indictment in August 2022 added six more felony charges, according to the Associated Press. His plea involved gang charges but forwent admission of guilt on racketeering conspiracy and criminal street gang involvement as a leader.

The rapper’s case has been fraught with complications, such as past judicial recusals and his attorney's contempt charge. Notably, he was accused of being linked to the 2015 murder of Donovan Thomas Jr., a crime prosecutors claimed he indirectly facilitated. His co-defendants, like Quamarvious Nichols, Marquavius Huey, and Rodalius Ryan, also agreed to plea deals, as reported by CNN. Today’s resolution sees Young Thug released directly to serve probation, as confirmed by ABC News.
