ATLANTA — Fulton County prosecutors are seeking to sever two defendants from the upcoming Young Slime Life gang trial because their defense attorneys are pregnant.
But neither woman wants to have their clients tried separately, saying that being pregnant does not hinder their ability to represent the defendants in the high-profile case.
The motion filed by prosecutors Tuesday requests the severance of defendants Kahlieff Adams and Tenquarius Mender, saying the attorneys representing them have an “impending and imminent personal leave of absence” that would preclude them from representing their respective clients in the lengthy trial.
