The Judge Gave NBA YoungBoy a Positive message about him being robbed of his talent and potential due to his addiction and wished him the best of luck after he’s out of Prison in the future pic.twitter.com/Q9niXcFoiA — Youngboy Snippets (@YoungboySnippet) November 18, 2024 “Even strict federal pre-trial supervision was unable to thwart his criminal activities and associations,” wrote Clark Harms, Deputy Weber County Attorney. “Finally, defendant is charged with a felony and there is substantial evidence to support the charge and clear and convincing evidence that he violated several material conditions of his federal pre-trail release.” The rapper’s four felony charges were reduced to Class A Misdemeanors, and he was ordered to pay a $25,000 fine, but he will not do time in prison for the charges. “This is somewhat of a unique case where there have been multiple jurisdictions involved both in the federal and the state systems,” said state prosecutor Ronnie Keller per ABC 4. “This is just really a smaller cog in the bigger wheel of ultimately seeking justice.” [social_warfare]
