Things been getting heated during the Young Thug Trial and Law and Crime’s daily Live Stream shows us every day how crazier it gets.
Footage of the moment, which crime reporter Meghann Cuniff shared via X on Thursday, showed Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Adriane Love and defense Doug Weinstein raising their voices and talking over each other as they argued about witness testimony. The tensions became so high that a sheriff’s deputy felt compelled to step in and intervene.
“Your honor, at some point your ruling needs to be,” Weinstein began.
“Your honor, I’m sorry, I’m talking about I don’t know why I am being interrupted. I did not stop,” Love continued.
At that moment, the bailiff steps in to calm things down.
“Ms. Love, both y’all can’t talk at the same time,” the bailiff said, which Judge Glanville agreed with.
“You need to just take it down a notch,” Judge Glanville said. “You continually engage in this pattern of behavior Ms. Love. You don’t wanna accept my ruling, and I know you’re being an advocate, but at some point stop. Just stop, I’ve made my ruling! Good, bad or indifferent to ya. You’re gonna win some, you’re gonna lose some.”
According to Atlanta News First, the debate centered around Deamonte “Yak Gotti” Kendrick, a YSL associate and one of Thug’s five remaining co-defendants. Weinstein reportedly asked the court to suppress Gotti’s interrogation statements as evidence, a request that Judge Glanville granted.
“We were ready to present evidence…the court is not allowing us to present the evidence,” Love said in court. “We have the burden of proof and we haven’t even been able to present the evidence that we have. We only—for the sake of ease—allowed the court to introduce the statements that the defendant [Gotti] made…to help Mr. Weinstein play the portion that he wanted to talk about.”
