ATLANTA — A Fulton County prosecutor misled a judge when she referenced a text message in which a co-defendant allegedly offered to “whack someone” for jailed Atlanta rapper Gunna, the musicians’ attorneys said Friday.
The text in question, which wasn’t even sent to the rapper, was actually written in June 2020 — nearly two years before he and 27 others were charged in a sweeping gang indictment, defense attorney Steve Sadow said in the court filing.
Prosecutor Adriane Love mentioned the message during Thursday’s bond hearing for Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens. Citing concerns about witness intimidation in the case, prosecutors have successfully asked that the judge keep the defendants behind bars without bond until next year’s trial.
