YOUNG THUG'S LAWYER ARRESTED IN CONTEMPT AFTER BATTLE WITH JUDGE | Criminal Lawyer Reacts 

I felt like I was watching a MOVIE!!! That was WILD!!!

Agreed.

Well shoot, I'd rather spend weekends in Cobb County Jail than Fulton County Jail too!

​@DarthFurie yeah, because Fulton county will hold you without indictment longer than your sentence would be

If this is true, it's gonna be a movie one day.

Right!

That’s exactly how I feel … this “Judge” has just laid out the perfect grounds for a MISTRIAL and mos def a slam dunk for the appellate court. 😮

@@puravida152 this'll be a slow 3-8 more week clownshow and then we'll get an appeal.

I don't even know why they are wasting those jurors time. It's definitely getting appealed IF they are found guilty. This whole case been an entertaining sh*t show

@@ripp704 they sadly have to do the trial regardless of the outcome even though to anyone with half a brain cell that it's obvious it'll be a mistrial, that attorney did nothing wrong and this'll be another 10-15 week trial after this one.

BIG YSL STEELE

Love Adams! Ultimately, they ALL stood with Steele.

After letting prosecution intimidate and coerce a sworn witness to snitch. Bro just wants the snitches to make life easier. Like nope, not happening.

WHo Told You That.....Who Told You That?.........😮😮😮😮

Mans about to get included in the RICO at this rate 😅. Illegally of course but taht judge seem the type to try it.😢

Brian Steele has cited himself in GA Supreme Court rulings. He’s the real deal. And that’s why all those lawyers went down to the courthouse. It’s not good to piss off lawyers cause this judge has to run again.

@@spamachuchan8824 so supposedly it was the judge who coerced the witness and told him that he would put him in jail for as long as the trial lasted which would be like 2years

Weekends only aha, but still it’s pretty fucked up

If the ex parte meeting occurred because the witness was threatened, and the witness's lawyer informed the defendant's team about the conversation, the lawyer should face the repercussions for sharing confidential information. judges do hold ex parte meetings under certain circumstances, such communications are generally restricted and regulated to ensure fairness and impartiality in the judicial process.

Right!! 😢

@@That_one_introvert.so the problem is the state is trying to pin the murder of Nut on Shannon Stillwell but in this supposed Ex Parte communication Woody admitted to murdering Nut making it critical information which the defence should have definitely been in that room

@@That_one_introvert. No: other legal channels have said that the lawyer who informed Steel had a duty to do so. She had more ethics than the judge.

The judge knows I think he doesnt care

Obviously about the law… nobody thought you were talking about refrigerators.

​@@ericbattista9341You'd be surprised!😆

He also just got handed a really strong reason for mistrial or a *very* reversible error on appeal. He even tried to explain that to the judge, so it is now on the record. He is very competent.

I want you to snitch on that other snitch... 😆

Fani donated to get this judge elected. They're all crooked

Ya'll are clowns. The meeting was with Woody attorney and prosecutor. The defense had no bounds to be present and would have had the information. Steele fucked up and blew his load to quick. It is a crime to share information from a judge in private. More of you idiots should have stayed in school.

Its not that it wasn't he couldn't as ex parte is allowed and he did one with the defense lawyer before (said it at the start of the video). However he was dead wrong with how they did it (as the prosecutor is also to blame). Should have told the defense lawyer it was going to happen in a meeting in the chambers and let him have his say. Now there is a very real possibility that the judge will be sanctioned in some way and a mistrial to happen and this has to start all over again (maybe double jeporady could apply) with the defendant more then likely been released. Could have been all sorted with a simple conversation

XDDDD he fucked up

Yup. It’s like he’s mad that everyone around him isn’t corrupt and on board.

​@@dawgyowe should be able to vote people off judges cops politicians.

Lmao 🤣 fr tho that shii was hilarious to me

Man you must not know his record and who he is. Thats already him lol😅

I think your right

Not yet...however if he wins the trial, then yes, people will want to hire him no matter how much he charges.

Clement Vallandingham shot himself for an acquital, so maybe not the "in history" part.

The witness said hed plead the 5th on stand... Then the prosecution and judge had a meeting behind closed doors... And suddenly after that meeting the witness then decided to not plead the 5 th and actually testify.... And mr Steele has said he thinks the witness was given a print out by the judge of the penalty the judge could send him to jail for and how he'd keep him in jail for years untill even other people cases went to court... And supposedly the prosecution also told the witness they didn't care if he lied on stand about things as long as it wasn't about one particular murder... Totally outrageous if all true. And clearly it's witness intimidation and tampering by not only the judge but prosecution as well. Especially due to him already being sworn in on stand. Then to not even notify the defense of a secret meeting... And they wouldn't have known it seems if someone didn't leak it to them.but the judge was more worried about who told the defense vs the actual reason or at least explain to the defense why you had to have this meeting.. It's currently under appeal and any reasonable other judge should rule in favor of that motion and this judge should be removed from this case at a minimum and honestly this is enough for a mistral.

Yeah but they took his ass out too

in that moment.... yeah ok this case 2 years old

⁠@@hotsAUc33Oh daaang, for reals!?! I’m very curious on it now, with interest piqued. I will be looking for all I can on it…. It’s surely concluded, or is it how long it has taken for trial… 🤔 That does Not seem to follow “ Right to a Speedy Trial” especially if one’s sitting in jail , waiting. Yikes…..😬 😅💙

@@Whynothisworkhe’s back

This is the only crazy thing I’ve seen…what else happened??

constant yelling between defense and judge even though defense didn’t do anything wrong. clear bias of judge towards prosecution. in front of jury judge says that defense is unprepared. prosecution star witness put into contempt for not testifying. prosecution witness admitting that she feels threatened by prosecution. plus the trial has been going on for like 8+ months. judge has threatened to hold like 3 of the defense attorneys in contempt for making objections. i’m pretty sure a defendant got like arrested in court for being high but that could’ve been another trial don’t quote me. and extreme confusion between who is mr copelands lawyer. and so much more it’s actually like comedy at this point you gotta watch it

You forgot drugs being passed around in court.

@@GardenGuy1943shoot the whole thing is just a shit show tbh lol

FREE THUGGER FREE YSL FREE STEELE FREE TRUMP FREE TATE

I think it also shows that if you are strong in your ethics, people will stand behind you. He had over 20 defense lawyers coming to bat for him, and every lawyer on RU-vid I’ve seen react has been against this judge. Mr. Steele is a zealous advocate and is what defense lawyers should be.

Imagine trying to convince a jury that a murderer is innocent!!!.... I went to trial against the feds and my lawyer told me that they would be laughing and putting their hands on me to show the jury that I am human..... it is a tactic used to make the accused not look soo bad. Truly humble under god!!!! Lmfao this is a stunt pulled by his lawyer to try and get him off on appeal!!!

Agreed! This may be semantics, but isn't he going to jail for the other defense attorney that supplied the information? He could snitch her out to the judge and go free, but he isn't a rodent. Or are you saying that this is an attempt to force a mistrial?

@@andrerobinson4862no one knows who gave him the info he’s being jailed because the judge framed Steele tried to halt or “black mail” by not giving person who gave info The problem is that the judge immediately admitted by asking who gave the info but then back peddled saying there was no convo and he was holding court for a warrant less threat And steal said if it had no value then say it didn’t happen and we will strike it but the judge knows he can’t lie and say it didn’t happen because the judge doesn’t know exactly the full context of what steel had so ITS A FOOKIN SHT SHOW, judge needs to take his stress dog and go to the park and retire

@devonwilliams2423 that is horrifying It looks like that judge is going to have to start renting hotel rooms for all the defense attorneys who are willing to take that contempt vacation What a crazy series of events and we should applaud anxattorney willing to do what he thinks is right. Even if it is his job, he still doesn't have to go that far. Seems to have more integrity than the judge IMO

He’s a CELEBRITY Criminal Defense Attorney now !! Not a snitch 😅 I expect he will be hired by many Celebs now for much more $$$$ !

I'm certain you learned a lot. I'm hopeful this incident will will thoroughly be exposed/revealed.

Also, THAT “Judge” will eventually recuse himself… just a matter of time. .. JUST WRONG … ABUSE of POWER 😮

Love , love, love Bryan steel.

Because us black people don't like black people

Because he was right. The judge tried to strong arm him and failed.

Exactly right buddy this Bruce guy is morally wrong 😑 lost all respect 🫡 for this lawyer I’ve been subscribed to this channel since 2021 fuck this guy definitely unsubscribing weak cowardly lawyers shouldn’t represent smh 🤦‍♂️ disappointed

He WILL fight for you!!! 💪 💥

This is what a Lawyer should be like. Do what you need within the law, respecting and making respect the Law. The Lawyer works for the cliente, but his real professional and deontological duty, is to the law. And a lot of Lawyers forget that. He didn’t stop responding to the judge, precisely because he wanted to everyone see how this Judge was using the law, and not serving the law. It’s disgusting.

This Lawyer is worth every cent

i think he keeps talking because he wants to get everything he can on the record, no matter how small and specific of a detail it may be, so that he can later say, i pointed out and explained every little thing of why i was right and the judge was wrong multiple times.

Also this is already a mistrial in 99% of trials. This just adds to the clown show and makes any possible conviction easier to appeal.

Not to mention he requested to be put in the same jail cell as Thug

​@@krisk3988 Right?! This is Wild!😂

Yep. If the ex parte meeting was proper than the judge likely would not have been so aggressive in trying to obtain the information of how defense gained access to the contents of the meeting in his chambers. I could be wrong but the judge seems to be very concerned about the defense attny being privy to the details of the meeting that occurred in chambers. If it was standard ex parte than he’d have no reason to be so overtly aggressive in trying to obtain how Steele received the information. Not saying he’s corrupt but it’s definitely unusual at the very least

​@Romanus- your wrong. The meeting was with Woody attorney and prosecutor to discuss his deal. The defense was not privy to that meeting, but the info after. The problem is Steele fucked up and you even know it.

Unfortunately you're wrong. Theres not much substance to what steel said regarding the ex parte but to have a sworn witness in chambers and the defense is not there is the only reason Steele got on his A××

@@robertmathis4268yeah…you just defined what an ex-parte communication (without one of the parties). The judge can’t meet with the defense or prosecution without the other being present. It’s unethical for the judge and the attorney (for not informing opposing counsel) and grounds for a mistrial.

​@@robertmathis4268woody was in the office as well. Judge shouldn't have done that

Wow.

Woody emitted on that meeting to kill Nut!!!!! That means this trail is over He also did it after Woody said he would plead the 5th He didnt think it would get back to the defense That’s illegal af He tried to threaten Woody and said he would give him 20 years if he told the courts that The judge just wants Thug to looose blindly and that’s his downfall just like it was for Fani these people have done more criminal acts than they’ve accused thug of

@@redelfshotthefood8213it’s true

He wants to be the next juliani..juliani had the rep of.."getting the mob," this judge wanted that

This is like walking in on your partner cheating, and all they have to say is "who told you I were cheating"? Except in this case, walking in on your partner cheating is the crime, not the cheating.

Yup lol

​@@RealPackCatExactly 😂

Impartial? You mean partial right, impartial means fair.

@@JoeBLOWFHB yea that’s what I meant, thank you for clarifying. Now I kinda feel like the judge not knowing the difference between civil & criminal contempt 😂

Apparently, there’s a team of lawyers and that is their job. To drop whatever they are doing and come in and defend other lawyers, who are held in contempt.

brothers/sisters? You mean usual suspects?

@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 Classic Scottish input.

And look into his previous cases, No telling how many people sitting behind bars that didn’t receive a fair trial….

He needs to be _thoroughly_ looked at. Odds are he's more than screwed over other people in the past. Dude is shady af

it's ghetto

Judges are incompetent too. The optics make the judge, prosecuting attorney are shady and hide/suppress evidence to nail the defendant. Makes defense attorney's defense and shadiness of coyrtt, judge, & DA look more plausible all the time Defendent is shady AF. But when sh8t like this happens in Court, you want the thug defendant to get a mistrial.

How'd that work? Who has the power to fire him from his job?

if your lawyer aint willing to do some weekends for you he aint the 1

Same.

Me too!

Yea Trump judges are dirty!

​@@Airbrushkidnot s trump judge.. he's a fanni Willis chump

The judge should only be interested in justice for the accused, not vindictiveness.

Democrat judges are the dirtiest crooked cheats in America..​@Airbrushkid

Just another black robed tyrant.

Definitely mistrial thugger will be set free for sure.

The judge constantly denied appeals for a mistral. It's sad man.

This judge isn’t granting a mistrial. He’s going to let anything go, and let the years long appeal process handle it. His last trial ended in a mistrial. Only way this trial ends early is if most of the jury steps down.

@@dageechiepoet Judge wont grant a mistrial. But the case is going to be appealed no matter what

It far worse than this.

Fulton county is corrupt asf and they need to be under investigation

Banana Republic and that is not a racist remark before some idiot accuses me. Look it up.

14:12 YESSSS

loved it lol mr lawyer was fed up

So he thinks it was witness lawyer he said her the judge said her

The judge isn't the brightest. He basically told on himself w that one.

Is the state a client just asking but I really don't like this judge he's totally biased

Exactly!!! Glad someone said it!

Yup. We all know why 😂 dude didn’t think a black man would have his white coworkers back. Didn’t know what to think 😝

He is. Steele and Schardt always get treated differently.

This Judge deserves to get 2nd Amendmented.

No. His attorney is serving ten weekends and gets to spend his jail time with his client. Do I agree with it? Hell no. But is the defendants rights being violated? Also no. If anything he’s getting more time with his client.

@@WhyYouTrippinManincorrect. Being in custody deprives his ability to provide an adequate defense

​@@WhyYouTrippinManthe judge had secret meetings with the witness and the prosecutor. Total no no

@@WhyYouTrippinMan Being a lawyer isn't a 9-5, mon-fri job. In jail he doesn't have access to all the resources that he would have if not jailed... internet, lexis, staff, co-councils , etc. Also, they continued at least some aspects of the case that day, when his lead lawyer was in jail.

Steele is smart and knows the law

Did any of you in the comments look up if an ex parte without notifying the other party is legal? Because it is in several circumstances.

@@VonJayI did. Generally, ex parte communications are prohibited because they can influence the judge's decision. They also threaten the legal principle that all parties must be given an opportunity to be heard on all matters related to the case. Any private communication between a judge and a lawyer who has a case pending before the judge is presumed to have been about the pending lawsuit. It appears that Steel/Merchant/Adams/etc are correct in their position. It gives the impression of impropriety. All these attorneys and this organization with just as much experience as the judge are not wrong. The biggest issue is his attitude about it all. He has BEEN being rude and showing bias against Steel and Schardt. This was the straw.

@@charlineWHITE-th9fo sorry and I’m not being rude or sarcastic, but I didn’t fully grasp what you said. Just looking for clarification. Could you tell me in what circumstance is an ex parte legal without notifying the other party? What general emergency would merit a legal ex parte relative to this case?

My opinion has been whether it's legal or not ...the Defense is Genius for playing it this way in front of the Jury...because just watching it Live makes the Court look bias and the D.A. like a crook A- Hole

@@bj_datdude yeah “genius” when the real issue is if his defendant is guilty or not.

This is that Dead Poets Society scene

Facts.

He's a real one fr

Absolutely! He's like "hey, you wanna lock up the other guy because you're big mad that he's not going to snitch on the person who exposed you...may as well take me too."

100% got each others backs!

If the ex parte meeting occurred because the witness was threatened, and the witness's lawyer informed the defendant's team about the conversation, the lawyer should face the repercussions for sharing confidential information. judges do hold ex parte meetings under certain circumstances, such communications are generally restricted and regulated to ensure fairness and impartiality in the judicial process.

​@That_one_introvert. Yes. If they followed the rules and notified the defense, this situation wouldn't be happening.

@@That_one_introvert. Never ever without letting the other side know. Ever. The defense could be excluded from the meeting but not that the meeting was happening. And not with getting a transcript. This is corruption.

​@ChristinaTodd1970 you're wrong. Ex parte hearings are an exception to the rule that notice needs to be given to the other side

@mr.sharpie2206 you nailed it word for word 💯 💯🎯

Literally though 😂😂😂

Yep. This is highly unusual. Having an ex parte conversation without a transcript provided to the defense or at the very least a protection order being on the record is highly unusual

I get there were a lot of defendants, but how does jury selection take 10 months? Trump, former president and currently running, got his jury selection done in what? A week? Less? I don’t remember but you’d think it’d be tough to find impartial jurors for that. Again I know there were a lot of defendants but come on lol, it’s not like any of them are famous beside Thug/Gunna, and they’re nowhere near as famous as Trump. It just seems insane to me for it to take THAT long. The Trump trial had 500 potential jurors that were evaluated, and 96 made it in to the courtroom. It took like 2-3 days to go from 500 to like 40. I did a quick search and it seems like it took under a week to find 12 jurors and 6 alternates. If they can get a jury of 12+, with alternates, for a case of a President in a week or less…HOW can something like this take 10 months! I just truly don’t get it. Thug has been sitting in jail for just over 2 years at this point with no conviction. That’s messed up. What happened to a speedy trial? This case is such a mess. I can’t fathom being on the jury for a case that’s probably going to go on for like 2 years. That sounds so miserable

You stop it from happening in the future by voting NOT GUILTY

@@BOnYTB Fulton county got a vendetta against Trump ! It’s political lawfare with him so the D.a has made sure to have jurors selected, prepped and ready because they are trying to nail trump. Its all political

@@BOnYTB The entire case was done and dusted before they even managed to get a group of jurors that's insane

He wants to know where the leak was …….😂 Deputy or a lawyer….

He should be fired if possible

Woody who was witness on stand fired his female atty in court but Mr. Melnick was his atty yesterday how I'm understanding it is that Woody fired him in the meeting and Mr. Melnick notified Steele😮 Steele told the court he got into courtroom at 1100am So it eliminates Mr Steele from eavesdropping so it😢 gotta be a lawyer. I think that's why the judge is so pissed he got found out about!!!!!😮

thats what happens when house n's get a modicum of power and money.
