A juror from the Young Thug RICO trial had positive things to say about the rapper after his lengthy trial came to an end last month.
“I honestly didn’t know anything about his music. And to be honest, the way that they presented him in his trial… They wanted him to look in this negative light but I saw somebody who kinda pulled himself up, got himself out of the position that he was in and tried to help other people around. So it actually shined a more positive light in my eyes than what the state was trying to present,” one of the jurors says in the interview, adding, “I wish him continued success with everything.”
Young Thug was arrested on charges of racketeering and gang conspiracy. For his plea deal, he admitted to six counts, including possession of drugs and firearms.
He was sentenced to time served plus 15 years of probation. If he does not complete his probation time and violates his conditions, he will face 20 years in prison.
