Prosecutors in Georgia look to delay Young Thug, Gunna trial

ATLANTA — Fulton County prosecutors are asking a judge to postpone the racketeering trial for rappers Young Thug and Gunna because eight of the 28 people charged in the sweeping gang case still don’t have defense attorneys.

In a motion filed Thursday, District Attorney Fani Willis asked that the trial date be moved to March 27, 2023. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville has tentatively scheduled the trial for Jan. 9.

The motion comes days after lead prosecutor Don Geary left the Fulton DA’s office for a position in Gwinnett County. Geary started his new role Monday, the Gwinnett DA’s office confirmed. It’s unclear who Willis will appoint to the lead high-profile case following the veteran prosecutor’s departure.
