As you guys know, I am Muslim, so we don't celebrate anything.
00:02:13.420
And for me, it's just another day in the office.
00:02:18.560
Got some special guests coming on for you guys later on.
00:02:21.880
You know, probably at the end of this year, early next year, we got some good things planned for y'all.

00:02:35.720
And then we got a Money Monday coming for y'all tomorrow.
00:02:37.980
As you guys know, we had the breakdown of the Tory Lanez trial where I went back and forth with Lassan Abhi.
00:02:44.620
Lassan Labhi, I would call him in this one because he was definitely taking L's.
00:02:47.200
Didn't understand what the Fifth Amendment is at all.
00:02:57.780
So go ahead and check that broadcast out if you guys want.
00:03:02.000
But, yeah, as you guys know, I've done a couple of podcasts now with academics.
00:03:05.520
And this came up because as we're breaking down the Tory case, what ended up happening was Gunna was released from prison.
00:03:12.060
And there was a bunch of stuff going on, like, yo, Maren, to break this down, let us know, was he telling what's going on, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:17.920
And as someone who's actually done Rico cases himself and I've done, you know, gang investigations, et cetera, I could definitely break down for y'all how this stuff all works.
00:03:41.200
And, guys, the only thing I ask, you don't got to donate a dollar to the stream, just like the video.
00:03:47.860
Dariel Wade goes, Andrew Tate did great against Brittany Renner and them delusional women.
00:03:53.420
Oh, man, I appreciate the support, bro, but no oxygen.
00:03:59.680
Anyway, Nick Crowell, hope you're having a good day.
00:04:28.060
Because some of you guys may or may not be aware of the, you know, hip-hop scene.
00:04:31.800
So Sergio Giovanni Kitchens, a.k.a. Sergio Kitchens, born June 14, 1993, known professionally as Gunna, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter.
00:04:41.400
He is signed to the Young Thugs record label, signed to Young Thugs record label, YSL Records, as well as 300 Entertainment and Atlantic Records.
00:04:48.200
He released his debut studio album, Drip or Drown 2, in Atlantic Records.
00:04:52.960
He released his debut studio album, Drip or Drown 2, in 2019 and followed it up with his second studio album, Wanna, in 2020, which debuted atop the Billboard 200.
00:05:03.140
His third album, DS Forever, was released in 2022, becoming his second consecutive number one album.
00:05:11.740
You know, he came out with the hit record Push and P, which was a huge, you know, hit earlier this year, as you guys, I'm sure you guys recognize.
00:05:20.380
And then also, I want to go ahead and let y'all know that I had broken down this case a couple months back, as you guys want to.
00:05:32.140
But basically, former Fed explains why I saw Rico.
00:05:34.760
We may never see Young Thug in Gunna official free again.
00:05:41.100
But in here, I go in detail over the indictment in particular.
00:05:45.500
And the indictment, guys, is this document right here.
00:05:49.440
OK, this is the indictment charge against all the members of YSL.
00:05:55.480
As you guys can see, they have a whole bunch of people on here with a whole bunch of different charges.
00:06:03.560
And yeah, these are some pretty serious charges.
00:06:06.740
So and we'll go back to this indictment here later on in this broadcast.
00:06:11.940
But if you guys want more details of what they're actually facing when it broke back in May earlier this year, be sure to check out this broadcast where I go into more detail about Rico, et cetera.
00:06:21.680
But for today's broadcast, I'm going to go ahead and give you guys a general overview of what Rico is so that you guys are familiar with today's podcast.
00:06:40.740
So Rico, guys, stands for racketeer, influence and corrupt organizations.
00:06:45.740
Originally, Rico was created back in the 70s, 80s to combat the La Cosa Nostra, a.k.a.
00:06:54.540
And at the time, that was the chief investigative priority for the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:07:02.240
Because basically back then, the mob was running everything.
00:07:04.580
They had their tentacles and everything, you know, extorting people, murder for hire, all types of different crimes.
00:07:12.300
But the problem is that back then there weren't laws that can charge entire organizations.
00:07:16.940
You can only charge, you know, each person with independent crimes.
00:07:20.620
And the problem is that the people on the higher ups were basically insulated from being charged and or brought to prosecution because they were so high up that they would order a hit and you weren't able to trace it back to them.
00:07:31.520
So what Rico laws were effectively able to do was instead of charging one individual, you can go after the organization as a whole.
00:07:38.660
So, in other words, if you commit crimes, right, for the benefit or the furtherance of a said criminal organization, the organization could be attacked uniformly everyone at the same time.
00:07:53.980
And what this allowed for was for people to say, well, I didn't commit that.
00:07:59.560
You're telling me I'm going down for everybody else.
00:08:01.000
I want to cooperate and then bam, then you start to get the dominoes rolling.
00:08:05.460
They want to go ahead and save themselves because everyone's being charged under very serious racketeering laws, which have stiff penalties.
00:08:12.500
And that's how they were able to effectively, OK, topple the mafia thanks to Rico laws.
00:08:18.420
And they're still being used to this day to go after gangs, organized crime organizations and a multitude of other types of crooks that, you know, commit crimes in furtherance of an organization.
00:08:30.160
OK, but nowadays it's mostly used against gangs.
00:08:37.280
Now, there's a federal RICO statute and the states have also adopted state statutes.
00:08:42.760
And you guys are probably wondering, well, Myron, tell me about this real fast.
00:08:45.640
Are the are the feds doing this or is the state doing this?
00:08:47.980
Well, guys, the state of Georgia are the ones pursuing this case.
00:08:54.080
However, Georgia does have a RICO statute, OK, that is very similar to the federal statute.
00:09:01.880
And, you know, obviously, state cases are typically not as serious as federal cases, because when the feds come, you're typically going to lose.
00:09:09.840
You know, we've seen examples of this with six, nine Casanova, you know, just to net off the top of my head that I could think of that were recent.
00:09:17.200
Right. Poush Icedy. These are all fed cases and all of them got a significant amount of time, except for Tekashi, who cooperated with the government and was able to get a lot of that time reduced.
00:09:32.500
But normally you would be serving football numbers.
00:09:36.240
Right. I think Tekashi was looking at somewhere between 40 to 60 years, somewhere in that time range, had he not cooperated with the government.
00:09:42.220
So federal racketeering cases, you're going to probably take an hour.
00:09:46.540
So in this case, one thing that's good for YSL is that this was a state case.
00:09:58.000
Mr. Shandon goes, Maren, your channel got me through my solo trip in Barcelona.
00:10:05.960
You know, my job is just to educate you on how the criminal justice system works.
00:10:11.540
I love the fact that a lot of Europeans watch this channel are interested in American law and American law enforcement.
00:10:25.260
Now that we understand what RICO is, OK, and we understand that there is a state and a federal version of said laws.
00:10:33.960
This comes from a Georgia lawyer, GeorgiaCriminalLawyer.com, which I like these types of websites a lot of times, guys,
00:10:39.660
because what they'll do is they'll kind of explain it to you as if you're the one being charged for it.
00:10:43.720
So they explain it in a very simple and easy to understand format because like, yo, I just got arrested for RICO.
00:10:50.020
Then, bam, you come on a website like this and they explain kind of what you're facing, right?
00:10:53.940
So OGA 16-14-4 outlines four ways a person can be guilty of violating the racketeering statute.
00:11:00.100
By directly or indirectly acquiring or maintaining any interest in or control of any enterprise, real property, or personal property
00:11:05.400
through a pattern of racketeering or the proceeds derived from the activity by directly – that's number one.
00:11:10.660
Number two, by directly or indirectly participating in an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity
00:11:15.760
while being employed by or associated with the enterprise, OK?
00:11:19.140
By conspiring or endeavoring to directly or indirectly acquire or maintain any interest in or control of any enterprise,
00:11:27.680
real property, or personal property through a pattern of racketeering activity
00:11:31.800
or the proceeds derived from a pattern of racketeering activity
00:11:34.860
or by conspiring or endeavoring to directly or indirectly participate in an enterprise
00:11:40.020
through a pattern of racketeering activity while being employed by or associated with the enterprise.
00:11:50.540
Guys, racketeering activity can be a multitude of different crimes,
00:11:55.220
whether it's murder, drug trafficking, prostitution, human trafficking.
00:12:08.240
If I'm not mistaken, the state of Georgia has somewhere around 40 crimes
00:12:11.320
that can be considered patterns of racketeering activity, OK?
00:12:16.680
So what this allows them to basically do, and as you guys can see, it's extremely broadly written,
00:12:25.000
If you're involved in any type of criminal activity that is benefiting an organization,
00:12:28.000
it's written broadly like that so they can encompass a bunch of different crimes
00:12:31.520
so that they can go ahead and say, yo, you're committing this crime on behalf of the organization,
00:12:35.820
you're committing this crime on behalf of the organization, et cetera, OK?
00:12:42.640
And RICO laws typically are written fairly broadly like this so that they can go ahead
00:12:47.880
and cover a bunch of different crimes that can be considered racketeering activity
00:12:57.960
RICO is a crime that has a federal statute and a Georgia state statute.
00:13:00.360
The Georgia statute defines racketeering more broadly than the federal law does.
00:13:04.840
In addition, it takes less to prove a pattern of racketeering activity under the Georgia statute
00:13:09.380
However, the largest difference between the two is that Georgia does not always require
00:13:13.220
the existence of an enterprise to constitute racketeering.
00:13:16.940
Now, that is big, guys, because for the feds, if you look at any federal RICO indictment,
00:13:24.180
And the enterprise is basically the name of the organized, of the criminal organization, OK?
00:13:31.080
So, for example, in Takashi's RICO, if you look at it, it says the Nine Trey Bloods, right?
00:13:36.540
If you look at, like, Casanova's RICO indictment, which we broke down on other episodes,
00:13:40.160
if you guys want to go ahead and feel free to check those out, it would be, you know,
00:13:45.400
So they always refer to the enterprise as the criminal organization,
00:13:52.080
So the Georgia law is more broad, so there's more crimes that can constitute as racketeering
00:13:57.360
activity, and on top of that, they don't necessarily have to prove that it is an enterprise.
00:14:05.600
And once again, since the threshold is lower, typically this is why state cases are not as
00:14:15.440
There are many crimes that can be used to show a pattern of unlawful conduct.
00:14:18.600
The predicate crimes that fall under the RICO statute in Georgia
00:14:21.460
include drug offenses, homicide, bodily injury, arson, burglary, forgery, theft,
00:14:26.240
prostitution, obscene materials, bribery, witness tampering, perjury, evidence tampering,
00:14:30.220
commercial gambling, distilling liquors and alcoholic beverages, firearm violations,
00:14:33.920
securities violations, credit card fraud, computer crimes, kidnapping, carjacking,
00:14:40.360
So in other words, if you're committing damn near any crime, all right, and you're saying,
00:14:44.860
yeah, we YSL, woo, blah, blah, blah, guess what's going to happen?
00:14:53.360
That's what's going to happen, because they have so many crimes that fall under a pattern
00:14:59.140
And just so you all know, this entire investigation was kicked off on a murder back in, I want
00:15:04.500
to say, 2015 for another rival gang member named Peanut, OK, who was an associate of YFN
00:15:10.320
Luchi, which, you know, I go into more detail on this on the last podcast if you guys want.
00:15:14.700
This episode is more about Gunnar's plea deal in particular, but if you guys want to learn
00:15:19.120
more about how this YSL case started in the first place, yeah, they've been looking at
00:15:23.760
Young Thug for a very long time, and it kind of got kicked off from that murder, all right?
00:15:28.640
So, but going back into what I was saying, I say all that to say, look, you know, murder
00:15:33.180
is in here, bribery, witness tampering, commercial gambling, everything, right?
00:15:37.740
The courts have concluded that a pattern consists of at least two acts of racketeering activity
00:15:41.740
in furtherance of one or more incident schemes or transactions that have the same or similar
00:15:46.900
intent, results, accomplices, victims, or methods of commission or otherwise are interrelated
00:15:53.360
by distinguishing characteristics and are not isolated incidents.
00:15:57.520
The incidents do not have to have the occur, I think it means have to occur at the same
00:16:02.700
time, but the court has stated that at least one of the incidents must be within four years
00:16:08.900
And what this also does, guys, okay, they're not saying this, but this allows the statute
00:16:14.480
So normally, if you had committed this crime, let's say I was just drug dealing, right?
00:16:18.740
And that has a statute of limitations of five years.
00:16:21.160
Well, since I was doing it in furtherance of the criminal organization, right, that timeline
00:16:27.280
can be extended now because I was drug trafficking in furtherance of the organization.
00:16:30.560
So they can come back and get me for drug trafficking, even though it's past the statute
00:16:35.260
of limitations, because they can go ahead and articulate, well, it was a pattern of racketeering.
00:16:38.840
Activity, so therefore that extends the clock then.
00:16:42.340
And that right there, my friends, is how so many people go down for crimes, okay, that
00:16:46.900
occurred maybe 10, 15, 20 years ago, way past the statute of limitations, but they're able
00:16:52.160
to come back and charge you on those crimes because they're saying, well, it's a pattern
00:16:58.760
So the statute of limitations doesn't apply here.
00:17:01.840
The next thing you know, bam, and that's how they get you a lot of the times.
00:17:08.140
Um, and then the Georgia case law on racketeering, uh, an example of a defendant being convicted
00:17:13.180
on the RICO statute can be found in Kilby versus state.
00:17:16.300
The defendant Kilby, and now, so they're using case law here.
00:17:19.280
The defendant Kilby was a director and a fiduciary of an animal shelter.
00:17:23.320
During her time as director, Kilby linked to a PayPal account that were intended for donations
00:17:27.780
to the animal shelter, to her own personal accounts and routed to herself a total of
00:17:33.340
In addition, she instructed her employees to give all the cash.
00:17:40.200
Uh, she instructed her in place to give all the cash to her and not to give out receipts
00:17:44.420
after years of this occurring and a play reported her to an investigative team of a local
00:17:49.960
The investigator discovered that Kilby was doing and, uh, what Kilby was doing and was,
00:17:54.920
uh, subsequently indicted for 29 counts of theft by taking in 29 counts of computer
00:18:01.420
During the trial, Kilby argued, let me enlarge this for real real fast, argued that there
00:18:07.260
was insufficient evidence to support theft by taking and racketeering.
00:18:10.800
She specifically argued that the state failed to prove that the money she directed to her
00:18:14.820
personal accounts were the property of the animal shelter.
00:18:17.280
However, two members of the board of direction of the animal shelter testified that Kilby was
00:18:22.340
never authorized to solicit funds and deposit them into her personal bank account.
00:18:26.400
Moreover, Kilby testified that the transactions were involved, uh, in transactions involve donation
00:18:31.420
money that was intended for and belong to the animals.
00:18:34.960
Therefore, the jury found Kilby guilty of racketeering based upon the theft by taking incidents.
00:18:41.080
So what does that basically show guys that they can get you for damn near any crime?
00:18:45.320
If it's being committed on furtherance of a criminal organization, which in this case is going
00:18:51.640
So they're over here going after people that run shelters.
00:18:55.100
You think a gang is going to stand a chance that you think the bloods in the crypts are going
00:18:58.500
to stand a chance if they're over here convicting people running animal shelters?
00:19:09.420
So, uh, so that is basically, that goes to show you guys how, um, how easy it is to convict
00:19:18.040
So now that we've went over who gunna is, what Rico is, what Rico is pertaining to the
00:19:27.320
Let's go ahead and go over some footage here of gunna being released from prison and some
00:19:34.380
The question that everyone wants to know is did gunna snitch and I'm going to present
00:19:38.960
you guys some facts and you guys can decide what you want to do from here.
00:19:42.600
This comes from a complex video shows gunna accepting plea deal in court prior to release
00:19:50.360
And we're staying on top of this breaking news tonight within the past 45 minutes, Atlanta
00:19:54.580
rapper gunna walked out of the Fulton County jail.
00:19:57.880
The rapper whose real name is Sergio Kitchens entered a negotiated guilty plea.
00:20:03.280
What's known as an Alford plea, allowing him to also maintain his innocence.
00:20:08.260
You guys might be wondering what the hell is an Alford plea?
00:20:10.600
Well, an Alford plea guys is right here in the United States law and Alford plea also known
00:20:16.000
as a Kennedy plea in West Virginia, uh, an Alford plea guilty plea.
00:20:19.920
And the Alford doctrine is a guilty plea in criminal court whereby a defendant in a criminal
00:20:25.000
case does not admit to the criminal act and asserts innocence, but admits that the evidence
00:20:29.740
presented by the prosecution would be likely to persuade a judge or jury to find a defendant
00:20:36.820
As you guys know, in the United States, um, the threshold for you to be found guilty is
00:20:43.360
This can be caused by circumstantial evidence and testimony favoring the prosecution and
00:20:47.380
difficulty finding evidence and witnesses that would aid the defense.
00:20:50.360
Alford pleas are legally permissible, permissible in nearly all U S federal and state courts, except
00:20:56.160
in the state courts of Indiana, Michigan, and New Jersey, or in the courts of the United States
00:21:01.000
armed forces, which I talked to y'all about this before with a military courts.
00:21:04.740
Y'all are going to take an L. They almost never lose.
00:21:07.280
They have some of the highest conviction rates, uh, military courts.
00:21:10.820
Um, but yeah, so unless you're in, uh, Indiana, Michigan, or Jersey, you can go ahead and take
00:21:16.880
And basically what it means is, uh, listen, man, I don't, I don't, I'm not going to say
00:21:25.100
And more than likely, if I were to take this to trial, I'll get found guilty, but I'm not
00:21:31.380
So I'm going to go ahead and drop into Alfred plea because y'all got evidence to convict me.
00:21:38.300
It's admitting that the prosecution has more than enough evidence to find you guilty beyond
00:21:44.280
And I know it's a very, well, that's a weird distinction, but that's basically what it
00:22:04.380
A large gang indictment that includes rapper Young Thug and other alleged members of YSL or Young
00:22:12.420
And also today, allegedly alleged YSL co-founder Walter Murphy negotiated a guilty plea in the
00:22:18.140
RICO indictment ahead of the trial scheduled to start next month.
00:22:22.120
New at 6 Channel 2's Mark Winnie is live at the Fulton County Jail with what all of this
00:22:32.160
We got wind that something was going on in the YSL case, hustled down to the courthouse,
00:22:42.560
It is a major, major development in a major case.
00:22:50.400
So there right there is gonna, and this is him at his plea.
00:22:57.800
Perhaps better known as music star Gunna was gonna get out of jail soon.
00:23:02.440
Seemed apparent early in the hearing as Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Adrian Love
00:23:06.860
went through the sentence that would be recommended.
00:23:16.060
And the parties agree that upon completion of the special conditions that I will enumerate,
00:23:21.760
the suspended sentence will terminate by consent order.
00:23:25.560
The Fulton County District Attorney's Office says Gunna pled guilty to the single county
00:23:28.920
faced in a sprawling indictment focused on the alleged criminal street gang YSL against
00:23:35.000
Conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
00:23:39.160
The guilty plea entered is what's called an Alford plea, where a defendant doesn't admit
00:23:43.380
he committed the crime, but acknowledges it's in his best interest to plead guilty.
00:23:46.920
If called by any party in this case, you will testify truthfully, but reserve...
00:23:54.320
So if called to testify, will testify truthfully, but...
00:23:58.640
Any Fifth Amendment rights or privileges against self-incrimination.
00:24:02.220
So he can plead the Fifth only against self-incrimination, which is something that I had to go ahead and discuss
00:24:08.380
to Hassan, who quite frankly is very stupid, that you can only take the Fifth if it is reasonably expected
00:24:17.380
what you're about to say is going to incriminate you.
00:24:20.440
But you cannot use the Fifth Amendment as a blanket catch-all to not talk to the police,
00:24:25.620
especially if you're put on the stand and compelled to testify.
00:24:28.300
You agree to perform 500 hours of community service, a substantial portion of which will
00:24:35.280
require that you speak to young men and women about the hazards and immortality of gangs
00:24:40.220
and gang violence and the decay that it causes our communities.
00:24:44.340
A Sergio Kitchen's press statement suggests in the case of his...
00:24:47.020
All right, so here's his press statement here, which I actually have it, guys, which is kind
00:25:01.140
When I became affiliate with YSL in 2016, I did not consider it a gang, more like a group
00:25:05.740
of people from metro Atlanta who had common interests and artistic aspirations.
00:25:10.180
My focus of YSL was entertainment, rap artists who wrote and performed music that exaggerated
00:25:15.780
and glorified urban life in the black community.
00:25:18.680
While I've agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have not
00:25:22.460
made any statements, have not been interviewed, have not cooperated, have not agreed to test
00:25:27.940
specify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely no intention
00:25:33.980
of being involved in the trial process in any way.
00:25:37.720
I've chosen to end my own RICO case with an Alford plea and end my personal ordeal by publicly
00:25:45.020
An Alford plea in my case is the entry of a guilty plea to the one charge against me, which
00:25:50.160
is in my best interest, while at the same time maintaining my innocence towards the same
00:25:55.720
I love and cherish my association with YSL music and always will.
00:25:59.280
I look at this as an opportunity to give back to my community and educate young men and
00:26:03.720
women that gangs and violence only lead to destruction.
00:26:15.020
Alfred plea, he's, quote, maintaining my innocence toward the same charge, unquote.
00:26:21.180
It says, while I've agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have
00:26:25.760
not made any statements, have not been interviewed, have not cooperated, have not agreed to testify
00:26:30.480
or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely no intent.
00:26:34.960
But that contradicts the plea agreement, which we're gonna talk about here in a second.
00:26:38.180
Attention of being involved in the trial process in any way.
00:26:43.060
Please state after each statement whether or not you agree or acknowledge that statements
00:26:57.420
Is that true as it pertains to you, Mr. Kitchens?
00:27:02.260
YSL is a music label and a gang, and you have personal knowledge that members or associates
00:27:09.080
of YSL have committed crimes and burdens of the gang.
00:27:16.160
You were present when law enforcement officers stopped a vehicle in which you were present
00:27:26.600
along with Jeffrey Williams, where an hydropodon, methamphetamines, and a firearm were recovered.
00:27:38.820
Yeah, so, I mean, that's pretty self-explanatory.
00:27:48.580
I mean, he absolved himself of the responsibility.
00:27:58.040
Now, this is what they're talking about in particular.
00:28:00.660
I have the indictment pulled up here for y'all.
00:28:04.660
On 9-24-2017, defendants Sergio Kitchens and Jeffrey Williams, associates of YSL, did commit
00:28:09.640
the felony offense of theft by receiving stolen property when, while possessing property to
00:28:13.980
wit, a firearm, the property of Trayvon Lewis that Kitchens or Williams knew or should have
00:28:18.700
known, was stolen with the intent of depriving Trayvon Lewis of said property in violation
00:28:22.920
of Georgia law pursuant to OCGA 16A7, which is an active racketeering activity under
00:28:27.860
OCGA 1614-3 and an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
00:28:36.600
And then, and then defendant Sergio Kitchens, Jeff Williams, associate of YSL, did commit
00:28:40.960
the felony offense of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute a control substance
00:28:45.100
in violation of Georgia law pursuant to OCGA 1613-30B, which is an active racketeering activity
00:28:52.500
under OCGA 1614-3 and an overact in furtherance of the conspiracy.
00:29:00.260
And then we got here again, also on September 24th, 2017.
00:29:03.880
So they got hit with a couple of charges here, guys.
00:29:06.200
Defendant Sergio Kitchens and Jeff Williams, associates of YSL, did commit the felony offense
00:29:09.960
of possession of a hydrocodone, of hydrocodone with intent to distribute a control substance
00:29:15.160
in violation of Georgia law pursuant to OCGA 1613-30B, which is an active racketeering activity.
00:29:20.940
OK, and then again, defendant Sergio Kitchens and Jeff Williams, associate of YSL, did commit
00:29:25.960
the felony offense of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute in violation of Georgia
00:29:31.100
law pursuant to OCGA, which is an act of a racketeering activity under OCGA and an overact in furtherance
00:29:44.600
So he basically said, yo, none of this stuff is mine.
00:29:49.400
So I make sure because we looked at the indictment, what he was charged with.
00:29:52.940
And this is what he's talking about in this indictment.
00:29:59.720
Hydrocodone, methamphetamine, in which you were present when law enforcement officers,
00:30:04.540
you were present when law enforcement officers, you were present when law enforcement officers,
00:30:08.580
stopped the vehicle in which you were present along with Jeffrey Williams,
00:30:14.080
where inhydrocodone, methamphetamines, and a firearm were recovered.
00:30:26.940
So I read you all the charges from the actual indictment, and he's acknowledging none of that stuff
00:30:32.080
that he was caught in the car with belonged to him.
00:30:40.400
That squarely puts the responsibility on Young Thug.
00:30:44.160
So even though he's not overtly saying, yo, it was his.
00:30:49.220
He's saying it wasn't his, which therefore does what?
00:30:55.260
And do you acknowledge the following statement?
00:30:59.060
I recognize, accept, and deeply regret that my talent and music indirectly furthered YSL the game
00:31:17.560
I mean, so he indirectly implicated Young Thug, as you guys can see here, right, as potentially
00:31:25.200
being the owner of the drugs and the weapons in the vehicle that he was caught with on September
00:31:31.080
And he stated that YSL is a street gang, which obviously is critical to the prosecution's
00:31:37.720
case because that allows them, right, to be able to, it allows them to make the RICO case
00:31:46.120
That, yo, we're going after an organized criminal organization.
00:31:52.240
Young Thug, his attorney, Brian Steele, has said, Mr. Williams committed no crime.
00:31:58.920
I find that your plea is freely and voluntarily entered.
00:32:01.560
I find a factual basis for your plea, and I'm going to accept your plea is 10 years.
00:32:07.780
He said, I find it factual and, you know, done of your free will.
00:32:12.020
Now, Jacoby Hudson, defense attorney for YSL case defendant, Walter Murphy, confirms that
00:32:23.000
late Tuesday, Murphy pled guilty to a racketeering conspiracy count and has been released from
00:32:35.400
Now, let's go ahead and actually take a look at this document.
00:32:41.920
This is the this is like basically the plea agreement.
00:32:57.140
And then you can see here that it was negotiated.
00:33:01.160
These are the OG OCGA statutes, which is basically RICO.
00:33:06.780
And what he ended up getting was conspiracy to violate the racketeer influence and corrupt
00:33:12.680
He put the guilty Alford plea and then five years, one year commute to a time served balance
00:33:19.760
So basically he was able to only serve not even a year, guys, because remember, he went
00:33:25.540
So he was in prison for what, six, seven months.
00:33:49.380
Do not violate criminal laws of any government unit and be of general good behavior.
00:33:56.380
Avoid persons or places or disrebutable or harmful character.
00:34:16.780
We're faithfully at suitable employment insofar as may be possible.
00:34:23.500
So he's going to be stuck in Georgia for a little bit unless his PO lets him.
00:34:25.660
When directed at discretion of the community supervision officer, submit evaluation testing
00:34:30.000
relating to rehabilitation and participate in successfully complete rehabilitative programming.
00:34:34.680
Wear a device capable of tracking locations by means, including electronic surveillance or
00:34:48.460
The defendant is advised that violation of any special condition of this disposition may
00:34:52.260
subject the defendant to a revocation, which means revoke, and the court may require
00:34:57.720
the defendant to serve up to the balance of the sentence in confinement.
00:35:00.920
The defendant should comply with all special conditions or as follows.
00:35:05.660
And it's written here in red, so it's not mistaken.
00:35:08.120
The parties agree that completion of the special condition enumerated in 3B below the suspended
00:35:14.480
A, if called by any party in this case, you will testify truthfully, but reserve your right
00:35:21.520
to assert your Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.
00:35:24.500
And then agree to perform 500 hours of community service, complete at least 350, a substantial
00:35:29.960
portion of which will require that you speak to young men and women about the hazards and
00:35:34.040
immorality of gangs and gang violence and the decay that it causes the community.
00:35:39.900
You agree that the community service location shall be determined by the office of the Fulton
00:35:47.240
You can see right here his name, Sergio Kitchens.
00:35:50.920
A, if called by any party in this case, you will testify truthfully, but reserve your right
00:35:58.040
to assert your Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.
00:36:05.740
What this means is if Young Thug or any other members of the organization decide to go to
00:36:12.100
trial, they can call Gunna in and say, we need you to testify, okay, against this individual.
00:36:20.940
Gunna cannot assert the Fifth Amendment because the Fifth Amendment can only be asserted, the
00:36:26.520
right to remain silent, by the way, if you reasonably foresee that what you're going to
00:36:31.820
say might incriminate you and put you in a compromising situation where you can be charged
00:36:38.420
However, clearly we can see that his term was suspended.
00:36:42.140
He's pretty much, you know, given an out for plea in this case as far as this racketeering
00:36:46.760
case goes, and any information he gives doesn't necessarily have to incriminate him.
00:36:51.880
So if he has information that can incriminate someone else, well, he's not protected.
00:36:56.520
He has to testify truthfully or the court can say, oh, you don't want to testify?
00:37:02.380
We know that you have information on this situation.
00:37:06.200
We're going to go ahead and revoke this agreement.
00:37:08.400
And now you're going to go back to prison to finish out that four years.
00:37:13.060
OK, so he can only invoke the Fifth guys to protect himself.
00:37:20.520
And that's a very important distinction when it comes to the Fifth Amendment.
00:37:28.140
Well, it depends on how you guys want to interpret it.
00:37:30.520
He basically implicated Young Thug, right, from the November 24th, 2017 traffic stop as the guns, the drugs, etc.
00:37:41.220
And he's supposed to come and testify should the government call on him to testify.
00:37:48.740
He can only assert the Fifth Amendment to protect himself.
00:37:51.280
However, like we discussed before, he pretty much already pled guilty to the charges.
00:37:59.220
So he can't sit there and invoke the Fifth if he doesn't have a reasonable expectation that he's going to be prosecuted.
00:38:10.260
Whatever you do, don't listen to Hassan when it comes to the Fifth Amendment.
00:38:14.680
And then this is the first offender conditional discharge.
00:38:18.400
The defendant consenting hereto, it is a judgment of the court that no judgment of guilt be imposed at this time.
00:38:25.980
Oh, and then here's number C to go back to page to go back to page two.
00:38:34.700
See, you shall not possess any guns during the term of this sentence or any time thereafter, unless your right to do so is restored.
00:38:42.660
Well, he won't be able to have a gun anyway because he is going.
00:38:47.640
And as a convicted felon, you cannot bear a firearm.
00:38:52.760
So upon violation of the terms of probation, upon conviction for another crime during the period of probation or under the court's determination of defendant is or was not eligible for a sentencing under the first offender act or for conditional discharge.
00:39:05.780
The court may enter and adjudicate adjudication of guilt and proceeds to sentence the defendant to the maximum sentence as provided by law.
00:39:15.940
And it just, you know, continues on to give some stuff.
00:39:24.720
Sadell, attorney at law, represented the defendant by employment.
00:39:38.500
Obviously, they're not going to put a signature in this one.
00:40:02.600
OK, can you talk about the assassination of MLK and MX and the conspiracy of the FBI killing and Black Panthers?
00:40:14.540
I mean, if enough people requested, then, yeah, we can.
00:40:19.220
Does Tories still have a chance or it's a wrap?
00:40:21.160
So if you guys go ahead and break down, watch our podcast that we did on this yesterday.
00:40:25.400
Andrew Esquire actually came in and we talked about the appeal process.
00:40:28.300
Tories, 100% going to have to appeal this thing.
00:40:37.800
I mean, that was, in my opinion, a terrible miscarriage of justice.
00:40:41.300
There was definitely reasonable doubt in that trial.
00:40:44.360
And the fact that Tory was convicted is wild to me.
00:40:55.500
Y'all can be anywhere else on Christmas since you guys are here with me.
00:41:00.520
And subscribe to the channel if you haven't already.
00:41:04.780
Could cover the Baltimore Gun Trace Task Force.
00:41:09.800
I actually have the indictment here for that case.
00:41:13.000
If you guys are wondering, they did a whole HBO special on the show on that case.
00:41:18.220
I will cover the Baltimore Gun Trace Task Force, man.
00:41:24.240
Do you think the jury found Tory guilty so quickly was because the jury didn't want to
00:41:58.480
I don't think any rapper put in his position would do the same thing.
00:42:03.660
Whoever comes to the table first and cooperates typically gets the best deal.
00:42:14.420
6ix9ine was smart for testifying against Ninetray, bro.
00:42:18.080
I know a lot of y'all are like, oh, he snitched, blah, blah, blah.
00:42:20.540
Bro, a lot of y'all facing that kind of time would have snitched too, bro.
00:42:25.380
He's out making money, you know, making music, doing whatever he want to do.
00:42:31.460
He's going to go to prison for some guys that don't give a fuck about him, and he probably would have ended up dying or getting killed in there anyway?
00:42:43.020
Thanks for the amount of info you give us with Fedit and Chatters.
00:42:50.240
Yeah, I mean, the problem with Hassan is that he's one of those guys that doesn't know.
00:42:56.420
And quite frankly, he didn't know what he was talking about when it came to the Fifth Amendment.
00:42:59.500
Yes, someone can assert their Fifth Amendment right at any moment, but that does not mean that it's actually going to be validated and you won't feel or you won't deal with consequence.
00:43:09.520
It's like, yes, you can invoke the Fifth Amendment right at any time.
00:43:14.000
However, that does not mean that the prosecution can't come after you and charge you for, you know, for, what's the term?
00:43:26.020
Well, or the judge can hold you in contempt of court because, you know, you cannot assert Fifth Amendment privilege unless you're going to be charged yourself, right?
00:43:36.220
Or I can't think of the term, the charge right now in my head when you mess with the court proceedings.
00:43:46.100
It's in contempt of court, but there's an actual formal charge for it.
00:43:49.580
And it'll come to me or someone in the chat will say it.
00:43:56.260
Yeah, they can get you with obstruction as well.
00:44:08.760
So Young Thug, right, as y'all know, this is, you know, hours after Gunna, please guilty, you know, Young Thug is back in court.
00:44:16.980
Atlanta rapper Young Thug is back in court for the Rico case against him.
00:44:20.900
Now this all comes less than 24 hours after Gunna entered a plea deal for his release from jail.
00:44:26.860
Young Thug and Gunna are two of 28 defendants charged in this Rico case.
00:44:31.420
All 28 members of the Young Slime Life record label, which prosecutors are accusing of having a connection to street gang activity.
00:44:39.820
Motion hearings for Young Thug and other YSL members happening right now.
00:44:45.020
We will be sure to bring you the very latest online and here on air.
00:44:47.940
Here is a look at the moments Atlanta-born rapper Gunna walked out of the Fulton County Jail late yesterday afternoon.
00:44:54.820
The rapper, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, made a deal with prosecutors to make this all happen.
00:45:00.340
Now Gunna will not have to stand trial early next year with rapper Young Thug and the more than two dozen other defendants who prosecutors say were part of a racketeering conspiracy.
00:45:10.260
And despite Gunna releasing a statement saying otherwise, documents from his plea deal show, if called to testify when his co-defendants head to trial, the rapper would have to take the stand.
00:45:21.060
John Sherrick on that part of the story for us.
00:45:24.080
Gunna, Sergio Kitchens, leaving the Fulton County Jail seven months after he'd surrendered.
00:45:31.460
The man Fulton County prosecutors had said was deeply involved with rapper Young Thug and 26 others in a violent gang called YSL.
00:45:39.720
Gunna pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering, and it was an Alford plea, meaning Gunna does not admit to doing anything wrong despite pleading guilty.
00:45:49.720
So, and also, you guys can see here, Young Thug's brother also took a plea in the case, man.
00:46:01.160
Or in this case, YSL, as people are making jokes of.
00:46:04.040
Atlanta rapper and alleged gang leader Young Thug and nearly two dozen other defendants is getting closer to trial.
00:46:11.260
The rapper is charged with violating the state's RICO Act, along with criminal street gang and firearms charges.
00:46:18.200
11 Alive is tracking a growing list of defendants now taking plea deals in the case.
00:46:25.380
Liza, Young Thug's own brother is the latest to cut a deal.
00:46:28.820
Yes, good morning, Quantavius Greer is Young Thug's brother.
00:46:34.020
As you mentioned, he's also a rapper, and he is now avoiding prison time after entering his guilty plea.
00:46:39.780
But one condition of that deal, and there are many, one condition being that he's not allowed to have any contact with his brother until after the trial is over.
00:46:47.380
As the calendar ticks closer to a trial, the list of defendants taking plea deals in the high-profile YSL case continues to grow.
00:46:56.680
Last week, Sergio Kitchens, better known as Rapper Gunna, took the first plea deal, followed by Walter Murphy, an alleged YSL co-founder.
00:47:04.940
Then, Winnie Lee, rapper Slime Life Shoddy, and Martinez Arnold, rap name Little Duke, cut deals.
00:47:11.560
As you guys can see, all these guys are pleading guilty, man.
00:47:14.340
Now, Quantavius Greer, or rapper Young Thug, interdiccated...
00:47:23.040
And here's the thing I gotta let y'all know, bro.
00:47:25.300
The government isn't gonna cut a deal with you, right, and give you the benefit of a plea agreement where you get less time, less serious, you know, consequences, etc., unless they get something in return.
00:47:37.880
So, the fact that all these guys pled guilty and took deals, well, the government's getting something in return.
00:47:43.920
A lot of that time, guys, it's testimony, all right?
00:47:47.440
Unfortunately, it might not be here, it might not be now, but it could be in the future should another member of YSL decide to go to trial.
00:47:54.040
Well, cool, we're gonna go ahead and call X, Y, and Z to the stand, and they will go ahead and testify, because guess what?
00:48:01.360
A lot of these guys are gonna have similar plea deals to Gunna, where they are gonna be called to testify, and they cannot necessarily invoke the Fifth, right?
00:48:09.880
Unless they feel as though they're going to incriminate themselves, but guess what?
00:48:14.300
A lot of them are not gonna be able to enjoy the Fifth Amendment privilege, because there's no chance of them getting prosecuted, because they've already been prosecuted and pled guilty to the charges thrown at them.
00:48:26.160
So, thanks to Double Jeopardy, they can't be charged, so therefore, they cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment.
00:48:39.360
All five have been sentenced to between nine and ten years on probation.
00:48:43.480
Daryl Cohen is a prosecutor-turned-defense attorney.
00:48:46.340
He's not involved in the case, but is tracking it closely, and says while defendants such as Gunna and Greer could be called to testify,
00:48:53.020
the Fifth Amendment won't help them avoid every question on the witness stand.
00:49:00.980
So, LaSan, don't know what he's talking about, man!
00:49:04.880
I didn't watch this clip beforehand either, guys.
00:49:08.260
I am not going to testify because I refuse to incriminate myself.
00:49:12.100
You can do that, but you cannot take the Fifth when it comes to testimony towards someone else or some other people that were involved in a crime.
00:49:20.860
Now, circling back to Greer, some other conditions of the deal he made.
00:49:27.400
Now, I know some of you guys in the chat are saying, yo, why don't you just lie?
00:49:31.960
The investigators already have the facts, okay?
00:49:33.920
So, if you get on the stand and you lie, what's going to happen is they're going to revoke that plea that they gave, y'all, right?
00:49:43.480
And then on top of that, they're going to get hit with perjury, lying on the stand, okay, guys?
00:49:48.140
You can't lie under oath, especially when the investigators already know what happened and they already have a solid timeline of what happened.
00:49:54.140
So, when you go on there and you testify, if it's contrary to the facts, they're going to come after you.
00:49:59.800
You're going to get charged with perjury, they're going to reimpose your sentence, and you're going to go back to prison.
00:50:04.080
Hence, they pled guilty for no reason, all right?
00:50:11.680
He is also not allowed to possess a gun, and there will be a curfew that he has to abide by.
00:50:17.340
We're going to be tracking all of this, of course, the trial getting closer and closer.
00:50:24.480
And in the meantime, Eleven Alive is going to be monitoring those court documents, and any new developments will keep you posted with the latest.
00:50:29.860
And downtown Atlanta, I'm sending it back to you.
00:50:37.260
So, anyway, with that said, guys, I need you to do me a favor and like the video.
00:50:43.200
But that is the gunna case in a nutshell, guys.
00:50:47.240
Which, well, I mean, if you want to go ahead and look at it where he basically took responsibility away from himself and put it on someone else, yes, that is essentially what happened.
00:51:01.220
But if he is called to testify, he does not get the Fifth Amendment privilege because they're going to more than likely ask him questions about other co-conspirators within YSL.
00:51:11.200
He also admitted that members of YSL had been involved in criminal activity, he admitted that YSL is a gang, and all of that is incriminating in itself because the basis of a racketeering investigation a lot of times is predicated on the organization being considered a criminal enterprise.
00:51:28.040
Not necessarily according to Georgia statute, but the way they're prosecuting this particular case is they're looking at it as the enterprise.
00:51:34.940
And I'll show you guys what I mean by this real quick here in this indictment.
00:51:39.240
If you guys look in the indictment, right, I'm going to pull it up for y'all right here.
00:51:47.580
And then if you guys want, I can explain to you guys how I would do a racketeering investigation as a law enforcement officer, as a former agent, because I've done them myself.
00:51:59.120
So as you guys can see here, boom, part one, the conspiracy as associates of the enterprise young slime life here and referred to as YSL, the defendants conspired to associate together and with other members for the common purpose of illegally obtaining money and property through a pattern of racketeering activity and conducting and participating in the enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity.
00:52:18.480
And furtherance of the conspiracy defense engaged in activities enumerated herein, the objectives of the conspiracy included, but we're not limited to.
00:52:24.680
So him saying that YSL is a gang, guys, substantiates this part of the indictment, which is damaging to everyone that was charged.
00:52:34.200
And you guys can see, look at all the names that they got here.
00:52:44.780
So, all right, give me ones in the chat if y'all want me to break down how to build a racketeering case from the beginning.
00:52:55.000
If y'all want, I'll go ahead and do it for y'all.
00:52:58.480
If not, give me twos and I'll move on to something else.
00:53:10.920
So, I don't think anyone has ever broken this down on YouTube.
00:53:24.100
For some of you guys that are new, as you guys know, former Special Agent Homeland Security Investigations, I used to do, you know, I've done gang cases.
00:53:35.020
And this is how typically you will build a RICO case.
00:53:38.280
Before I get into it, let me go ahead and read this real fast.
00:53:41.740
I mean, Daniel, thank you for holding it down against that clown Friday.
00:53:44.320
He embarrassed himself for being ignorant and a fake social media personality.
00:53:48.560
And, yeah, I mean, he was way out of his wheelhouse.
00:53:50.820
And he's one of those guys that will talk out of his ass even though he doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:53:55.900
If you guys want me to break this down, I need y'all to like the video because I'm about to give y'all a lot of sauce right now.
00:54:01.680
And we got almost 2,000 of you guys in here, 1,800 plus.
00:54:08.960
Get me to 1,000 likes, guys, and I will break down how a RICO case is actually conducted, how I would go about gathering evidence,
00:54:17.540
how I would investigate something like this in the first place.
00:54:20.460
I don't think anybody on YouTube has ever described how to do it from actually an investigator's perspective.
00:54:25.040
So I need you guys to like the video right now.
00:54:29.460
Mind destroying Lassan Abi was the best moments on FNF next to Little Hitler.
00:54:37.920
I hate doing this, but people always want to be cheapskates with liking the video, man.
00:54:42.120
You guys don't have to donate a dollar to the stream.
00:54:43.940
All you got to do is like the video, subscribe to the channel, and that's it.
00:55:05.360
And when he was saying all that bullshit about the Fifth Amendment in my head, I was just like,
00:55:08.240
Know your role and shut your mouth because the people's champ is ready to talk.
00:55:18.400
Run up the likes, and I'll break this thing down for y'all.
00:55:23.240
The faster we get up to $1,000, the faster I'm going to start.
00:55:26.820
We're at $925, the faster I'm going to break this down for y'all.
00:55:32.040
After this broadcast, I want to make sure that we have timestamps.
00:55:33.940
Also, just so you guys know, I did a poll earlier this week on which serial killer you guys wanted next.
00:55:40.160
And it seems to me, as you guys, you sick bastards, you guys wanted, if I'm not mistaken, Samuel Little, okay?
00:55:51.060
And for some of you guys that are wondering who Samuel Little is, Samuel Little is the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history.
00:56:17.300
Matter of fact, let me show you guys while we wait for these people to get the likes up to 1K.
00:56:20.360
I got, like, a whole bunch of different playlists for you guys, all right?
00:56:29.400
So, as y'all can see here, here's the channel, right?
00:56:34.320
All the most recent, you know, recent to oldest.
00:56:37.760
Then I got crime documentary breakdowns, right?
00:56:39.960
Which this is where I cover pretty much everything, right?
00:56:45.460
I did BTK, the Zodiac Killer, the Railroad Killer.
00:56:52.840
The Night Stalker, Jeffrey Dahmer, the Unabomber, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy.
00:56:58.380
Like, all the serial killers you guys love, I already covered them pretty much.
00:57:04.800
I went ahead over with the official narrative and the unofficial narratives as well.
00:57:09.140
Osama Bin Laden, how the FBI did their investigation.
00:57:17.760
And then you got, I did the Shankela Robinson murder case.
00:57:21.700
Obviously, we did the Merchant of Death, right?
00:57:23.460
And why that was the L for us to trade, her for Brittany Griner.
00:57:28.980
Pretty much the first week of coverage, day-by-day analysis, detailed timestamps.
00:57:33.040
This was the argument that we had with Lassan Abi.
00:57:35.540
And then, you know, and then here's some of the more important ones, right?
00:57:38.980
We did Casanova, Takeoff, YNW Melly, O Block, right?
00:57:48.700
So if you guys want to go ahead and check out the type of content,
00:57:51.980
some of you guys might be new to the channel, go ahead and feel free to check it out.
00:58:16.540
All right, so let's go ahead and go over how a case like this would be done.
00:58:22.300
So let's say, right, we go back in time to when I was on the job, right?
00:58:27.780
I may or may not have done some of the things that I'm going to tell you guys right now
00:58:33.200
So all you guys out there that are a member of a gang or a rapper or something like that,
00:58:36.660
you might want to take notes here because I'm about to give y'all some sauce on how
00:58:41.280
And yes, I will be doing Christopher Duttus Koch.
00:58:46.380
He was one of the biggest Jamaican truck traffickers.
00:58:50.080
So first, you got to identify your organization, especially when it comes to a federal level.
00:58:54.500
And the reason why for that, guys, is because like I described before, federal, you need
00:59:01.120
And this organization needs to be involved in certain types of criminal activities that
00:59:04.680
can be constituted under the racketeering statutes, okay?
00:59:09.140
Let's say we identify some members of a gang like the Bloods or the Crips or the GDs or
00:59:15.140
Well, that's easy to establish because they're a national gang, right?
00:59:19.360
So what you would need to do first is you need to work with the state and locals.
00:59:22.580
Why do I say you need to work with the state and locals?
00:59:23.960
The reason why I need to work with the state and locals is because, and by state and locals,
00:59:27.340
I mean like the local city police, the state police, the county sheriff's office, et cetera,
00:59:32.200
The reason why you want to do this is because a lot of the times they know the environment
00:59:36.440
They've arrested some of these guys for more petty crimes.
00:59:40.660
They know information on these individuals that you might not necessarily know as a fed.
00:59:45.220
So it's very important to work with your state and local partners, man.
00:59:50.940
So you work with the state and locals and you start to build a case and you start to identify
00:59:55.620
members in the organization that are lower level.
00:59:59.180
Well, guys, the reason why it's important is because for you to break into any criminal
01:00:02.880
organization, you need to be able to identify, apprehend, right?
01:00:11.600
Informants are the magic key when it comes to any type of criminal investigation, especially
01:00:17.920
in investigations that are heavily dependent upon other conspirators, right?
01:00:29.680
So you need insight into how the criminal activity is conducted, right?
01:00:36.220
So once you go ahead and identify lower members of the organization, you're going to go ahead
01:00:41.180
and find ways to get these individuals jammed up.
01:00:45.220
It might be you get one of them picked up for selling drugs.
01:00:47.960
It might be one of them gets caught, you know, in a situation where they were committing
01:00:53.460
some type of criminal activity or you have some kind of charge over their head or they
01:00:58.180
might be an illegal alien or they're a green card holder and you're able to go ahead and
01:01:01.580
tell them, listen, if you don't cooperate, I'm going to go ahead through the process and
01:01:06.980
These are all things that you can use to have leverage on the crook to have them go ahead
01:01:12.640
And that's why immigration is such an important tool.
01:01:15.000
And when I was an agent myself, I used to utilize it all the time where a guy, right?
01:01:19.420
He might've come to the United States when he was three years old.
01:01:28.860
So a lot of the times they'll cooperate just so they don't get deported back to a foreign
01:01:39.080
Or source, once you get your first source, you want to go ahead and start working your
01:01:43.420
This can be done through the recorded meetings.
01:01:46.320
This can be done by purchasing narcotics from other members of the organization.
01:01:50.400
It could be having the informant go ahead and meet with these individuals and talk about
01:01:55.680
Any types of, these are all ways that you can go ahead and start to gather evidence.
01:01:59.760
And what you're going to do a lot of the times is you're going to have this source where
01:02:03.780
a wire or introduce an undercover to the operation.
01:02:08.180
Introducing an undercover is pretty hard though, because when you introduce an undercover, a
01:02:11.220
lot of times they'll be like, I don't trust this guy, blah, blah, blah.
01:02:13.520
So you're going to have to a lot of time rely on the informant.
01:02:15.520
And what you do is as you have this one source that's into the organization, you want to start
01:02:22.120
Well, the reason for that guys is because when you have more sources, it validates a lot of the
01:02:29.240
So if you got one crook telling you, yo, this guy's the top of the organization.
01:02:35.200
Or you got five crooks telling you, yo, he's the main guy.
01:02:40.360
It's going to be more credible when you have five different people saying the same exact
01:02:45.140
And keep in mind, guys, a lot of these informants aren't necessarily upstanding citizens.
01:02:49.660
If you know what I'm saying, a lot of times they're criminals themselves.
01:02:53.100
A lot of times they have long criminal histories, histories.
01:02:56.580
Maybe they're not credible witnesses because they've gotten caught lying on under oath before,
01:03:00.740
or they've been arrested for false statements, whatever.
01:03:06.680
So a lot of the times you need more than one, right?
01:03:10.860
One crook's testimony is never enough to put another crook in jail.
01:03:17.100
One crook is never enough to put another crook in prison.
01:03:25.700
You typically need at least two, three, four, five, six different witnesses unless that witness
01:03:31.200
was directly there and he witnessed some kind of crime.
01:03:34.400
And then you have corroborating pieces of evidence that corroborate that witness's testimony.
01:03:38.820
But that witness in itself saying, yo, he's the one that pulled the trigger and you don't
01:03:42.360
got forensics, you don't got something else to back it up, it's never going to be enough.
01:03:48.380
Which is why this case right here, this YSL case, I am a thousand percent sure they probably
01:03:58.360
And that is why they're in a position where they're like, you know what?
01:04:01.080
Let's start to make things a little bit simpler now.
01:04:03.960
Let's get all these guys in our back pocket, okay, so that if we need someone to testify,
01:04:09.040
we could call any of these guys here because all these guys that took plea deals are on
01:04:17.620
And if they're not on the hook and decide, well, I don't want to testify, congratulations.
01:04:22.700
Okay, next thing you know, and you're going to go do whatever amount of time that you were
01:04:28.740
supposed to do that you ended up getting freed from because you agreed to testify and
01:04:38.380
And as you get informants into the organization, this is where you can start to do recorded
01:04:43.400
This is where you start doing recorded meetings.
01:04:45.480
This is where you get your evidence so that you can go ahead and do wiretaps, okay?
01:04:49.080
There were wiretaps involved in this investigation with this YSL case.
01:04:53.240
And I talked about that as well on academics stream.
01:04:59.000
Matter of fact, let me see here if I can see recorded.
01:05:06.980
I'm going to go ahead and pull up for y'all some of what has me very concerned with this
01:05:12.940
investigation and why Young Thug is in a lot of trouble, right?
01:05:37.640
I know for a fact that they have intercepts on this case.
01:05:47.340
Now, in the indictment, guys, they actually have, look, they got like Instagram posts here,
01:05:52.260
They got all kinds of stuff on this indictment.
01:06:24.720
Defendants Damien, uh, Demeckion Garlington and Quantavius Greyer, associates of YSL, when,
01:06:32.680
while speaking over a cell phone to an incarcerated Fulton County inmate, discussed killing another
01:06:36.660
Fulton County jail inmate who had recently attacked a YSL associate incarcerated at the
01:06:40.640
Fulton County jail and overact in furtherance of the conspiracy.
01:06:44.220
Now, from what I know, they were able to get a phone into the jail.
01:06:48.140
So that tells me that this phone that they got into the jail was being intercepted.
01:06:53.620
Um, and then here they got, while speaking over a cell phone to an incarcerated Fulton County
01:07:00.880
Cause if it had just been a jail call, they would have said that, right?
01:07:08.000
And then also, there was another one guys, if I could find it, cause this is a very, this
01:07:25.240
Look at this defendant Christian Eppinger and Antonio Sumlin, most of the way cell did
01:07:29.300
commit the felony offense of conspiracy to commit murder by discussing how to obtain permission
01:07:34.060
of slime, AKA Jeffrey Williams, to make a second attempt to murder Ray Sean Bennett, AKA YFN
01:07:39.360
Luchi, while Ray Sean Bennett was incarcerated at the Fulton County jail said first attempt to
01:07:43.660
murder Ray Sean Bennett being alleged in act 144, this count in violation of Georgia law
01:07:55.160
Uh, uh, defendants, Marquis Huey, uh, Tanquerius Mender, man.
01:08:04.160
Did unlawfully commit the felony offense of possession of a telecommission device by an
01:08:07.880
inmate when incarcerated, while incarcerated in the Fulton County jail did possess without
01:08:11.640
authority, a communication device to a cell phone beyond the guard line in violation of
01:08:16.620
So this cell phone that they snuck in guys, I'm pretty sure was tapped because they were
01:08:22.700
able to gain evidence from a cell phone, right?
01:08:27.320
So they got a cell phone into the jail and that thing was wired up.
01:08:31.340
How the hell are they going to get a cell phone into the jail used by members of the
01:08:43.080
Um, this is, I mean, these are just some examples.
01:08:47.380
I go into more detail on this Rico, uh, on the other video.
01:08:50.560
If you guys want where I literally go charge by charge on each of the things, but, uh, but
01:08:57.980
yeah, man, what, what they're basically doing guys is they're getting informants, witnesses
01:09:03.360
and people on plea deals so that they can go ahead and come back to Jeffrey Williams, AKA
01:09:09.680
By the way, they can go to him and say, listen, bro, we got a hundred plus witnesses that
01:09:15.420
will go ahead and testify against you plead guilty.
01:09:18.520
Or if you want to go to trial, we'll be ready to go.
01:09:20.760
And from what I understand, they haven't given him a plea deal.
01:09:24.100
If they did, it was something wild, like 50 years to life that he's not going to take.
01:09:28.220
So it's not looking too good for, um, for young thug, but I will say that they were able
01:09:34.820
to go ahead and get some of the search warrant evidence thrown out.
01:09:37.980
Uh, cause they said that it was an unlawful search.
01:09:40.260
Uh, some of the cell phone stuff, some of the drugs, I think a firearm or a couple of
01:09:44.120
firearms, they were able to go ahead and get that stuff thrown out.
01:09:47.180
So that's a small W for young thug, but that, that does not invalidate all the other evidence
01:09:52.620
that they have in this investigation, which once again, guys, look, they got charges starting
01:09:58.540
when in 20, if I want to say 2012, something wild like that.
01:10:08.960
So you come down and the first offense, January 25th, 2013, man, is when they first started
01:10:27.120
That is the first count of the first act of this indictment.
01:10:37.500
And the look acts and furtherance of the conspiracy, all these things, man, all the way up until
01:10:43.880
they got arrested in 2022 guys, they had charges on these dudes or they had, they had a, excuse
01:10:51.760
And again, this is what happens when you're going after a gang.
01:10:55.000
All you have to do is articulate that they're committing criminal activities in furtherance
01:11:10.320
And they've been looking and, uh, and then this one right here was the big one, right?
01:11:17.020
Defendants, defendants, Javaris Bradford, Justin Cobb, Demonte Kendrick, Demise McCullen,
01:11:22.180
and Shannon Stilwell, associate YSL did unlawfully and with malice afterthought, commit the felony
01:11:27.320
offense of murder by causing the death of Donovan Thomas Jr., a human being by shooting Donovan
01:11:32.940
Thomas Jr. with a firearm in violation of Georgia law pursuant to OCGA 1651, which is
01:11:39.000
an act of racketeering activity, uh, and an overacting furtherance of the conspiracy.
01:11:45.560
Donovan Thomas Jr., guys, AKA Peanut, was a friend, a close friend of YFN Lucci.
01:11:50.920
And this is what prompted the gang war in Atlanta.
01:11:55.560
So they've been looking at Young Thug for a very, very long time.
01:12:00.660
Uh, and I actually went through all the lyrics that they use against Young Thug, Young Thug,
01:12:06.920
when he, um, uh, uh, when they were trying to charge, a matter of fact, you know what,
01:12:14.380
The, the, just how little, how, how much of a non giving a fuckitude Young Thug had,
01:12:26.100
I always put timestamps in the videos for y'all.
01:12:30.600
And it was from lyrics from bad boy featuring juice world self snitching.
01:12:42.780
I'm going to, this is from the original video, by the way, guys, not to be confused.
01:12:48.740
It looks like, and smoking a blunt, but anyway, let's go ahead.
01:12:52.480
I hope I don't get hit with copyright here on this bad boy, but let's, let's, uh, who
01:12:58.280
So this song right here, bad boy, we're going to go start with one 19 and one 22.
01:13:15.900
Watch the way you breathe around me before that breath be your last boy.
01:13:19.900
Better watch the way you breathe around me before that breath be your last boy, which
01:13:24.380
is interesting to me that they're using juice world's lyrics on this against, um, thug.
01:13:31.620
But again, and the other thing too, I want to say is anybody guys was ran by Nicki Minaj.
01:13:36.360
So I don't know how the state's going to go ahead, you know, and we also might get into
01:13:43.560
Uh, and for some of you guys that don't know, we got a lot of international viewers.
01:13:46.540
The first amendment is freedom of speech, freedom to address, how you want freedom to express
01:13:52.240
The issue is that when you, uh, express yourself the way that you want, or you speak about certain
01:13:56.960
things and the government's able to corroborate your statements to actual crimes.
01:14:01.600
That's when your, um, your, um, your protections of the first amendment pretty much diminish.
01:14:08.600
And they did this to six, nine as well, guys use his lyrics against them as well on Billy
01:14:15.300
What other song was it that they use against him?
01:14:21.060
So there might be something that we don't know about this lyric in particular that just
01:14:26.980
and young thug gives himself a huge self-snitching on this song.
01:14:32.380
We're all the saying that, uh, that the, that the state may know.
01:14:36.620
Cause remember the indictment guys, it's kind of giving you an overall broad sense of what's
01:14:41.960
But we need to actually look at the goddamn police reports to know the intimate details of
01:14:47.620
why they're using these specific lyrics and are they able to tie it back to actual criminal
01:14:53.480
Let me really make, let me make that very clear for you guys.
01:15:00.560
What you guys got to understand here is that, right?
01:15:04.320
So you guys can see the lyrics right here, right?
01:15:08.240
You better watch the way you breathe around me before that breath be your last boy.
01:15:13.500
And juice world was the one that said that lyric, right?
01:15:15.480
So you're probably wondering, well, why the fuck are they charging young thug right on
01:15:23.480
And the thing is, is that it does this infringe on the first amendment.
01:15:27.060
And the thing is what the first amendment guys is, like I said before, the first amendment
01:15:30.340
protects you unless the government's able to identify your speech is actually connected
01:15:39.460
Cause that's considered, uh, uh, um, uh, confessions and or comments of a party opponent.
01:15:45.880
And when you are, you know, a defendant, well, you are a party to the case, just like the
01:15:51.440
state is a party and you're a party and you're saying it right.
01:15:54.920
It's basically, it's you, unless electronic surveillance on this investigation, that's
01:15:59.540
a fucking fact at this point, the fact that they're having, you know, they're able to say
01:16:24.220
I had on a Margiela's when I shot at the cunt act, act like you want war and they go on
01:16:31.220
Now, the reason why this is relevant guys is because wife and Lucci's mom was shot at,
01:16:39.360
And when she shot, when she got shot, um, they're pretty sure that it was young thugs
01:16:48.420
So bam, now they're able to use that song against him because they were able to independently
01:16:56.760
Um, and we suspect that it was young thug that did it.
01:16:59.520
And then young thug puts out that song and actually says, he's, uh, um, literally I shot
01:17:06.060
at his mommy and I'm going to show y'all the actual lyric that they use that he said
01:17:17.420
I had a Margiela's when I shot at the cunt act like you want war and they going to smoke
01:17:28.960
So, and, and, uh, why haven't Lucci's mom did actually get shot at man.
01:17:33.060
And if you guys want more details like this, go watch that YSL breakdown.
01:17:36.900
I go into more details as to all the times he self snitched on himself and all the time
01:17:42.860
Um, but yeah, bro, it was, it was a big L definitely a big L in that situation.
01:17:49.920
But, uh, but yeah, anyway, guys, that sums it up.
01:17:54.460
Uh, let me hit some of these chats, uh, before, and I'm going to go ahead and record a serial
01:18:03.620
We're going to do Samuel little since you guys wanted him.
01:18:05.560
Um, people seem to forget how old block big Mike got 28 years now appeal to 11 for refusing
01:18:09.440
to testify against King Vaughn after taking a plea deal.
01:18:21.040
Cause, cause again, he had agreed to, uh, testify and he was not necessarily, he couldn't plead
01:18:26.380
the fifth cause they weren't going to charge him with that.
01:18:35.020
Could you squeeze in a little bit about Brittany tonight or next week?
01:18:59.920
Like I said before, um, he might not overtly snitch yet, man, but basically the prosecution
01:19:06.400
has him in their back pocket as well as all the other people that are pleading guilty and
01:19:10.420
Young Thug, if he decides to go to trial, more than likely he's going to lose because
01:19:14.240
they're going to have all these guys that they gave a plea agreements to come in and
01:19:17.920
testify because Young Thug is who they actually want.
01:19:20.060
As you guys can see, he was linked to murders, shootings, et cetera, and he's the top dog
01:19:26.220
So, anyway, with that said, guys, like the video on your way out.
01:19:33.440
I'll catch you guys tomorrow for Money Mondays on Fresh and Fit.
01:19:37.220
