ATLANTA — Three separate incidents of contraband being brought into the courthouse have delayed the already lengthy jury selection process in the Young Slime Life trial against Atlanta rapper Young Thug and more than a dozen other defendants.
On Tuesday, a defendant’s mother was arrested after allegedly bringing “tobacco products” to her son in a bag of clothes, according to her arrest warrant. On Wednesday, another defendant was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital following a separate instance of contraband being brought into court for a third consecutive day of court proceedings.
Last week, Fulton County Chief Judge Ural Glanville said an unidentified person brought clothing to one of the defendants with marijuana hidden in the shoes.
