The Debrief With MyronGainesX - Former Fed EXPOSES Gunna's Plea Deal. Did He Snitch？

00:00:00.840 And we are live. What's up, guys? Welcome to Fed It. Today, we're going to be discussing the YSL RICO and, more importantly, the gunna plea deal, man.

00:00:07.100 We got a lot to cover. I'm going to break down how this stuff works. Let's get right into it.

00:00:13.760 I was a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, okay, guys? HSI.

00:00:17.040 The cases that I did mostly were human smuggling and drug trafficking.

00:00:22.120 No one else has these documents, by the way.

00:00:24.440 Here's what Fed It covers.

00:00:25.580 Dr. Lafredo confirmed lacerations due to stepping on glass.

00:00:32.420 Murder Investigations.

00:00:33.420 You see him reaching in his jacket. You don't know.

00:00:49.020 Now, when they first started, guys, 6ix9ine ran with me. 0.98

00:00:51.600 I'm a Fed. I'm watching this music video.

00:00:53.120 You know, I'm bobbing my head like, hey, this shit lit.

00:00:56.000 But at the same time, I'm pausing.

00:00:57.500 Oh, wait, who this?

00:00:58.720 Right?

00:00:59.160 Oh, who's that in the back?

00:01:01.340 Firearms and violent crime.

00:01:02.680 A.K.A. Bush IC violated.

00:01:04.520 You're wanting to stay away from the victim.

00:01:06.160 Redrapper Bush IC arrested after shooting at King of Diamonds.

00:01:08.580 Miami strip club injured one person.

00:01:10.240 This is the one that's going to fuck him up because this gun is not tracing me.

00:01:13.800 Well, it happened at the gun range.

00:01:14.940 Here's your boy, 42 Doug, right here on the left.

00:01:17.200 Okay.

00:01:17.540 Sex trafficking and sex crimes.

00:01:18.920 They can effectively link him to paying an underage girl.

00:01:22.080 And the first bomb went off right here.

00:01:26.700 Suspect to set down in Baghdad on the site of the second explosion inspired by Al-Qaeda.

00:01:31.800 Two terrorists, the brothers, the Zokar Sarnev and Tamerlan Sarnev.

00:01:36.320 When the cartels shipped drugs into the country.

00:01:38.420 As this guy got arrested for espionage, okay, trading secrets with the Russians for monetary compensation.

00:01:44.780 The largest corrupt police bust in New Orleans history.

00:01:49.340 The days of the police are gone.

00:01:51.140 So he was in this bad boy.

00:01:52.520 We're going to go over his past.

00:01:54.300 The gang guy so that this all makes sense.

00:01:56.660 All right, we're back.

00:02:03.940 What's up, guys?

00:02:04.540 Welcome to Fed It, man.

00:02:06.120 Happy to be here with you guys on Christmas Day.

00:02:08.980 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.

00:02:15.160 I just came back from the gym.

00:02:16.160 I was hanging out fresh a little bit.

00:02:17.660 We're talking some business.

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.

00:02:25.300 So today, guys, real quick announcement.

00:02:29.040 Number one, rumble.com slash fresherfit.

00:02:30.940 Also, make sure to check us out on locals.com slash, well, fresherfit.locals.com.

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.

00:02:49.520 Yet he was trying to argue with me about it.

00:02:51.080 So it is what it is.

00:02:52.220 But, yeah, that was a great show.

00:02:53.060 We did it with academics yesterday.

00:02:56.220 A lot of fun.

00:02:57.780 So go ahead and check that broadcast out if you guys want.

00:02:59.760 It's on Fresh and Fit.

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.

00:03:27.140 So real quick, let me hit some of these chats.

00:03:29.880 We got Michael Meestroke, $1.

00:03:31.940 Thank you so much.

00:03:32.400 I appreciate that, my friend.

00:03:34.200 And then we got, let's see here.

00:03:36.860 Monkey D.

00:03:37.380 You stop, goes, showing support.

00:03:38.540 Thank you so much.

00:03:39.040 I appreciate that.

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.

00:03:44.640 That's all I need y'all to do.

00:03:45.860 Okay.

00:03:47.860 Dariel Wade goes, Andrew Tate did great against Brittany Renner and them delusional women.

00:03:52.360 I didn't know.

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.

00:04:02.360 Appreciate that, Nick.

00:04:04.020 Let's see here.

00:04:05.300 Someone put Lana in the chat. 0.76

00:04:06.560 You guys are hilarious, bro.

00:04:08.380 There's you guys.

00:04:11.580 All right.

00:04:12.380 Cool.

00:04:13.620 So, okay.

00:04:14.100 Before, so I'll just get right into it.

00:04:16.060 Okay, guys.

00:04:16.800 So who is Gunna?

00:04:18.800 All right.

00:04:19.120 Gunna, guys, is an artist.

00:04:22.620 Go ahead.

00:04:23.420 I'll allow this one, Bam.

00:04:24.680 So here's who Gunna is, by the way, guys.

00:04:27.600 All right.

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.

00:05:09.580 So obviously he's a very accomplished artist.

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.

00:05:30.060 And I go into way more detail on this one.

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. 0.95

00:05:37.040 Here's why.

00:05:37.660 And I break down and we know Gunna's free now.

00:05:39.900 We're going to break down why he's free.

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.

00:06:00.680 OK.

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.

00:06:29.140 All right.

00:06:29.580 So so what is Rico?

00:06:32.060 OK.

00:06:34.060 Georgia law on Rico.

00:06:35.100 So just so y'all understand.

00:06:36.080 Right.

00:06:36.420 And let me just minimize the screen real fast.

00:06:40.740 So Rico, guys, stands for racketeer, influence and corrupt organizations. 1.00

00:06:44.700 All right.

00:06:45.740 Originally, Rico was created back in the 70s, 80s to combat the La Cosa Nostra, a.k.a.

00:06:52.600 the American Mafia.

00:06:54.060 OK.

00:06:54.540 And at the time, that was the chief investigative priority for the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

00:07:01.580 OK.

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.

00:07:10.080 And it was organized crime.

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.

00:07:53.820 OK.

00:07:53.980 And what this allowed for was for people to say, well, I didn't commit that.

00:07:58.440 My crimes weren't that bad.

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.

00:08:04.640 People want to cooperate.

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.

00:08:33.400 All right.

00:08:34.340 So let's go ahead and go over this.

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.

00:08:52.100 It is not the feds.

00:08:53.300 It is the state.

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.

00:09:27.460 However, he gave a bunch of testimony.

00:09:29.140 He took the stand, et cetera.

00:09:30.340 And that is why he only did a few years.

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.

00:09:51.740 OK, let me hit some of these chats real fast.

00:09:54.600 Make sure I don't miss any.

00:09:55.480 Y'all appreciate all the support, guys.

00:09:58.000 Mr. Shandon goes, Maren, your channel got me through my solo trip in Barcelona.

00:10:01.360 Easily listen to 10 plus hours.

00:10:02.480 Mad love over in the UK.

00:10:03.720 I appreciate that, man.

00:10:05.960 You know, my job is just to educate you on how the criminal justice system works.

00:10:09.240 306 p.m. from the Netherlands.

00:10:10.540 Keep it up.

00:10:10.880 Thank you so much, man.

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.

00:10:17.980 Michael Meastroke, a dollar.

00:10:19.360 Appreciate that very much, my friend.

00:10:21.400 And cool.

00:10:22.580 All right.

00:10:23.660 So let's go.

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.

00:10:31.160 Let's get into the Georgia ones in particular.

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.

00:10:49.400 I need a lawyer.

00:10:50.020 Then, bam, you come on a website like this and they explain kind of what you're facing, right?

00:10:53.320 All 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.

00:11:44.440 All right.

00:11:44.940 I know what you guys are probably thinking.

00:11:46.020 Whoa.

00:11:46.300 What the hell are we talking about over here?

00:11:49.080 What is racketeering activity?

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.

00:12:01.020 It can be extortion.

00:12:03.900 It can be illegal gambling.

00:12:06.500 It could be a multitude of different crimes.

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,

00:12:22.060 and that's for a reason.

00:12:23.280 So they can basically say, gotcha, bitch! 1.00

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?

00:12:38.820 So that is why it's written that way.

00:12:42.640 And RICO laws typically are written fairly broadly like this so that they can go ahead 0.58

00:12:47.880 and cover a bunch of different crimes that can be considered racketeering activity

00:12:54.060 under the furtherance of the organization.

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

00:13:08.360 than the federal one.

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,

00:13:21.900 it's always going to have the enterprise, OK?

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,

00:13:43.860 the Gorilla Stone Nation Bloods.

00:13:45.400 So they always refer to the enterprise as the criminal organization,

00:13:49.860 and then all the charges come from that, OK?

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.

00:14:04.100 So the threshold is lower.

00:14:05.600 And once again, since the threshold is lower, typically this is why state cases are not as

00:14:09.380 strong as federal cases.

00:14:10.580 The burden of proof is not as strong, OK?

00:14:13.560 What is a pattern of racketeering activity?

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,

00:14:37.740 and making terroristic threats.

00:14:39.200 Holy!

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?

00:14:48.620 Next thing you know, FBI, open up!

00:14:51.520 And the state is coming after you, OK?

00:14:53.360 That's what's going to happen, because they have so many crimes that fall under a pattern

00:14:57.420 of racketeering activity.

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? 0.88

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

00:16:06.740 of a prior incident of racketeering activity.

00:16:08.900 And what this also does, guys, okay, they're not saying this, but this allows the statute

00:16:13.200 of limitations to be pushed back.

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

00:16:55.420 of racketeering activity.

00:16:56.940 It was continuing on over a period of time.

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.

00:17:05.640 Okay.

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.

00:17:15.780 Okay.

00:17:16.300 The defendant Kilby, and now, so they're using case law here.

00:17:18.840 Okay.

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

00:17:32.360 10,500.

00:17:33.340 In addition, she instructed her employees to give all the cash.

00:17:36.200 Oh, sorry.

00:17:36.920 My bad guys.

00:17:37.380 Let me show y'all on the screen.

00:17:39.280 Okay.

00:17:40.200 Uh, she instructed her in place to give all the cash to her and not to give out receipts 0.85

00:17:44.420 after years of this occurring and a play reported her to an investigative team of a local

00:17:49.280 television network.

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

00:18:00.900 theft.

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 0.99

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

00:18:50.280 to be her animal shelter.

00:18:51.640 So they're over here going after people that run shelters.

00:18:54.700 Okay.

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?

00:19:01.260 Oh man, that is a, all right, cool.

00:19:09.420 So, uh, so that is basically, that goes to show you guys how, um, how easy it is to convict

00:19:15.000 someone of racketeering.

00:19:17.420 All right.

00:19:18.040 So now that we've went over who gunna is, what Rico is, what Rico is pertaining to the

00:19:24.060 Georgia statutes.

00:19:25.420 Okay.

00:19:25.860 The Georgia version.

00:19:27.320 Let's go ahead and go over some footage here of gunna being released from prison and some

00:19:33.020 stuff that went down.

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.

00:19:42.420 All right.

00:19:42.600 This comes from a complex video shows gunna accepting plea deal in court prior to release

00:19:47.700 from jail.

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.

00:20:07.160 Gunna was in real quick.

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

00:20:35.060 guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

00:20:36.520 Okay.

00:20:36.820 As you guys know, in the United States, um, the threshold for you to be found guilty is

00:20:41.440 beyond a reasonable doubt.

00:20:42.760 All right.

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

00:21:15.740 an Alford plea.

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

00:21:22.260 I'm guilty, but y'all got a lot of evidence.

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

00:21:29.320 claiming that I'm guilty.

00:21:31.100 All right.

00:21:31.380 So I'm going to go ahead and drop into Alfred plea because y'all got evidence to convict me.

00:21:34.380 That's what Alfred plea basically is guys.

00:21:36.660 Right.

00:21:36.960 It's not admitting guilt.

00:21:38.300 It's admitting that the prosecution has more than enough evidence to find you guilty beyond

00:21:42.820 a reasonable doubt.

00:21:43.760 All right.

00:21:44.280 And I know it's a very, well, that's a weird distinction, but that's basically what it

00:21:47.600 is.

00:21:47.720 It is not an admission of guilt, so to speak.

00:21:49.860 All right.

00:21:51.720 Let's go back.

00:21:55.260 Fail on racketeering and conspiracy charges.

00:21:58.740 Part of a large, my bad guys.

00:22:04.380 A large gang indictment that includes rapper Young Thug and other alleged members of YSL or Young

00:22:10.780 Slime Life Gang.

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

00:22:26.660 means today.

00:22:27.340 Mark.

00:22:29.380 Yeah, some big stuff said in court today.

00:22:32.160 We got wind that something was going on in the YSL case, hustled down to the courthouse,

00:22:38.380 got there in time.

00:22:39.580 I shot the hearing on my iPhone.

00:22:42.560 It is a major, major development in a major case.

00:22:47.320 Yes, ma'am.

00:22:47.900 I understand.

00:22:48.820 That's Sergio Kitchens.

00:22:50.040 All right.

00:22:50.400 So there right there is gonna, and this is him at his plea.

00:22:55.560 All right.

00:22:56.220 So pay attention here, guys.

00:22:57.800 Perhaps better known as music star Gunna was gonna get out of jail soon. 1.00

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.

00:23:09.040 Five years to serve one.

00:23:11.380 Commuted to time served.

00:23:13.780 Balance suspended.

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

00:23:33.120 him and more than two dozen others.

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...

00:23:52.580 Oh, hold on.

00:23:53.500 Y'all heard that?

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 0.97

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

00:24:52.100 of funny.

00:24:53.960 He gave this statement.

00:24:56.720 Let's enlarge it and read it.

00:24:57.960 This is immediately after.

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

00:25:43.280 acknowledging my association with YSL.

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

00:25:55.020 charge.

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. 1.00

00:26:09.040 Holy.

00:26:09.980 All right.

00:26:11.300 Let's go back to the to the clip.

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.

00:26:41.340 In court, some startling statements.

00:26:43.060 Please state after each statement whether or not you agree or acknowledge that statements

00:26:48.400 are true.

00:26:49.060 Okay?

00:26:49.220 I became affiliated with YSL around 2016.

00:26:57.420 Is that true as it pertains to you, Mr. Kitchens?

00:27:00.960 Yes, ma'am.

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.

00:27:13.700 Yes, ma'am.

00:27:15.000 Oh, man.

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.

00:27:33.180 These items did not belong to you.

00:27:36.960 Yes, ma'am.

00:27:38.160 Holy!

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.

00:27:50.600 Who else is in the vehicle?

00:27:52.040 Well, Jeffrey Williams.

00:27:53.460 Who is Jeffrey Williams, guys?

00:27:54.660 That, my friends, is Young Thug's real name.

00:27:57.460 Boom, Baka! 0.99

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.

00:28:02.600 Let's actually look at the paperwork.

00:28:04.280 It goes,

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.

00:28:34.200 OK, so that's one of them.

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.

00:28:59.340 OK, holy.

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.

00:29:20.720 OK.

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

00:29:39.800 of the conspiracy.

00:29:44.600 So he basically said, yo, none of this stuff is mine.

00:29:47.980 Let's rewind it a little bit to me.

00:29:49.400 So I make sure because we looked at the indictment, what he was charged with.

00:29:52.580 Right.

00:29:52.940 And this is what he's talking about in this indictment.

00:29:55.100 One more time.

00:29:57.040 These items did not belong to you.

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.

00:30:18.200 But these items did not belong to you.

00:30:22.420 Yes, man.

00:30:23.500 Holy.

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.

00:30:34.520 Well, guess who else was in the car with him?

00:30:36.860 Jeffrey Williams, a.k.a. Young Thug.

00:30:38.360 So what does that strictly do?

00:30:39.420 What does that do?

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.

00:30:47.540 I'm cooperating.

00:30:49.220 He's saying it wasn't his, which therefore does what?

00:30:51.980 Puts the blame on Young Thug.

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

00:31:05.940 to the detriment of my community.

00:31:08.200 YSL as a game must end.

00:31:10.140 Is that your statement or acknowledgement?

00:31:13.100 Yes.

00:31:14.140 A YSL indictment includes.

00:31:15.780 That right there, guys.

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

00:31:30.060 24, 2017.

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

00:31:45.580 stronger.

00:31:46.120 That, yo, we're going after an organized criminal organization.

00:31:50.200 Jeffrey Williams, a.k.a.

00:31:52.240 Young Thug, his attorney, Brian Steele, has said, Mr. Williams committed no crime.

00:31:57.520 Judge Ural Glymphill.

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.

00:32:05.800 So he just basically accepted his plea.

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

00:32:29.740 the Fulton County Jail already.

00:32:32.460 All right.

00:32:33.380 So that right there, guys.

00:32:35.400 Now, let's go ahead and actually take a look at this document.

00:32:39.060 OK, so this is.

00:32:41.920 This is the this is like basically the plea agreement.

00:32:51.040 OK, and you guys can see here, right?

00:32:54.880 Sergio Kitchens, right?

00:32:56.280 Criminal action.

00:32:57.140 And then you can see here that it was negotiated.

00:32:59.960 Here's the charges that they hit him with.

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

00:33:10.480 organizations act.

00:33:11.300 Right.

00:33:11.780 Here's a statue.

00:33:12.680 He put the guilty Alford plea and then five years, one year commute to a time served balance

00:33:18.440 of four years suspended.

00:33:19.760 So basically he was able to only serve not even a year, guys, because remember, he went

00:33:23.940 into prison around May of this year.

00:33:25.540 So he was in prison for what, six, seven months.

00:33:28.760 And he was basically able to get out.

00:33:30.820 Right.

00:33:32.260 And so it goes here.

00:33:34.120 Upon service, one year to commute time served.

00:33:36.280 The remainder of the sentence suspended.

00:33:38.700 OK.

00:33:40.280 That's page one.

00:33:41.260 Page two.

00:33:42.580 Right.

00:33:44.140 I want to have you guys.

00:33:46.000 Here's the general conditions of probation.

00:33:47.960 Right.

00:33:48.640 Number one.

00:33:49.380 Do not violate criminal laws of any government unit and be of general good behavior.

00:33:54.260 Avoid injurious and vicious habits.

00:33:56.380 Avoid persons or places or disrebutable or harmful character.

00:34:01.000 Here.

00:34:01.440 Do I need to enlarge this for y'all more?

00:34:03.380 Hold on.

00:34:03.840 Let me.

00:34:05.480 I think this is the.

00:34:06.280 There we go.

00:34:11.040 That should be better.

00:34:12.320 And real quick, I'll.

00:34:13.540 OK, so we're.

00:34:14.640 Report to the community supervision officer.

00:34:16.780 We're faithfully at suitable employment insofar as may be possible.

00:34:20.020 Do not change your place of abode.

00:34:22.080 Move outside the jurisdiction of the court.

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

00:34:38.680 global position satellite.

00:34:39.760 So he might have an ankle bracelet.

00:34:41.260 And then nine.

00:34:42.020 Make restitution is ordered by the court.

00:34:44.140 Now, I also want to bring this here thing.

00:34:46.380 Here are the special conditions here, guys.

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

00:35:12.400 sentence will terminate by consent order.

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

00:35:43.880 County District Attorney.

00:35:45.580 Okay.

00:35:45.820 And this is for Gunna.

00:35:47.240 You can see right here his name, Sergio Kitchens.

00:35:48.880 This right here, guys.

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.

00:36:00.820 What the hell does this mean in English, guys?

00:36:02.900 I got y'all.

00:36:03.680 Okay.

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.

00:36:19.060 And here's the problem.

00:36:20.940 Gunna cannot assert the Fifth Amendment because the Fifth Amendment can only be asserted, the 0.92

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

00:36:37.660 in the future.

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.

00:37:04.780 You don't want to testify?

00:37:05.800 Bam.

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.

00:37:17.680 It does not allow him to protect others.

00:37:20.520 And that's a very important distinction when it comes to the Fifth Amendment.

00:37:23.880 All right.

00:37:24.400 So does that mean he snitched right now?

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.

00:37:39.880 didn't belong to me.

00:37:41.220 And he's supposed to come and testify should the government call on him to testify.

00:37:45.640 And he has to testify truthfully.

00:37:47.340 And he cannot assert the Fifth Amendment.

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.

00:37:56.280 So he's not going to get prosecuted.

00:37:58.340 All right.

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.

00:38:05.460 All right.

00:38:10.260 Whatever you do, don't listen to Hassan when it comes to the Fifth Amendment.

00:38:12.800 He don't know what he's talking about.

00:38:14.200 All right.

00:38:14.680 And then this is the first offender conditional discharge.

00:38:17.980 Right.

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.

00:38:24.840 Let me enlarge it for y'all.

00:38:25.980 Oh, and then here's number C to go back to page to go back to page two.

00:38:32.680 Right.

00:38:33.100 It continues on.

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.

00:38:40.700 You shall not commit no criminal acts.

00:38:42.660 Well, he won't be able to have a gun anyway because he is going.

00:38:46.160 He's a convicted felon now.

00:38:47.640 And as a convicted felon, you cannot bear a firearm.

00:38:51.440 OK, so.

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.

00:39:14.480 All right.

00:39:15.940 And it just, you know, continues on to give some stuff.

00:39:18.480 But here's his attorney, the honorable.

00:39:21.780 Sorry.

00:39:22.320 No, Stephen H.

00:39:24.720 Sadell, attorney at law, represented the defendant by employment.

00:39:28.120 OK, and this is a court reporter.

00:39:30.300 And this was signed by the judge.

00:39:32.960 All right.

00:39:33.220 And then we got page four here.

00:39:35.440 You know, some more stuff.

00:39:36.800 Acknowledge.

00:39:37.160 He probably he had to sign this.

00:39:38.500 Obviously, they're not going to put a signature in this one.

00:39:40.440 But this was his plea agreement, guys.

00:39:43.500 So, I mean, y'all got it right there.

00:39:44.940 I'm black and white, man.

00:39:51.660 All right.

00:39:52.580 Let's see here.

00:39:53.220 So I got some of these chats here real fast.

00:39:55.420 Let me pull them up real fast.

00:39:58.280 I appreciate the support, by the way, guys.

00:40:00.680 Y'all are the real ones here in the chat.

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?

00:40:11.020 Myron's knows.

00:40:13.200 I don't think the people really.

00:40:14.540 I mean, if enough people requested, then, yeah, we can.

00:40:16.860 I try to go off of what the people want, man.

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. 0.91

00:40:30.280 But, I mean, let's be honest here, man.

00:40:31.840 Appeals are difficult.

00:40:33.860 And, yeah.

00:40:35.900 So, yeah.

00:40:36.580 I mean, I hope so, man.

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.

00:40:46.960 Michael Meestroke, $1.

00:40:47.960 Thank you so much.

00:40:49.120 And then we got who else?

00:40:51.320 Just make sure I get all these chats.

00:40:52.460 Thank you guys so much for the support.

00:40:53.500 Guys, we got 1,600 of y'all in here.

00:40:55.500 Y'all can be anywhere else on Christmas since you guys are here with me.

00:40:57.540 So, thank you for that.

00:40:58.680 Like the video, please.

00:41:00.520 And subscribe to the channel if you haven't already.

00:41:02.880 We got here.

00:41:04.780 Could cover the Baltimore Gun Trace Task Force.

00:41:07.440 Yes.

00:41:08.420 I've been researching this case.

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.

00:41:17.900 But, yes.

00:41:18.220 I will cover the Baltimore Gun Trace Task Force, man.

00:41:21.940 That one was crazy.

00:41:23.300 Random question, Myron.

00:41:24.240 Do you think the jury found Tory guilty so quickly was because the jury didn't want to

00:41:28.180 deliberate throughout the Christmas weekend?

00:41:31.540 That's true.

00:41:32.540 That could have been a factor, Venom.

00:41:35.380 Definitely could have been a factor.

00:41:37.880 Michael Meestroke, $1 again.

00:41:39.280 Thank you so much.

00:41:40.280 Appreciate that.

00:41:40.900 And then we got here...

00:41:43.000 John Ray.

00:41:44.400 Who is the worst?

00:41:45.340 L.

00:41:45.720 Gunna or Tory?

00:41:47.620 Who has the worst L?

00:41:49.840 Well, I would say...

00:41:51.400 Damn, that's a good question.

00:41:52.860 Well, Gunna's out of prison, bro.

00:41:54.540 So, y'all could call it an L, but hey, man.

00:41:57.740 You know what I mean?

00:41:58.480 I don't think any rapper put in his position would do the same thing.

00:42:01.320 Yo, there is no honor among thieves, guys.

00:42:03.660 Whoever comes to the table first and cooperates typically gets the best deal.

00:42:06.960 So, you know what I mean?

00:42:08.280 Gunna did what he had to do.

00:42:09.160 I'm not even mad.

00:42:10.800 Mouse Purple, Silk Road case.

00:42:12.200 I mean, I've said it before.

00:42:13.420 I'll say it again.

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.

00:42:24.060 That was a smart thing to do.

00:42:25.380 He's out making money, you know, making music, doing whatever he want to do.

00:42:30.180 Like, you know what?

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?

00:42:36.680 Not worth it.

00:42:37.740 Hassan is basically uninformed.

00:42:38.760 It's sad but true.

00:42:39.580 The news and paperwork is public to everyone.

00:42:41.820 It's simply just doing your research.

00:42:43.020 Thanks for the amount of info you give us with Fedit and Chatters.

00:42:45.720 I appreciate that.

00:42:46.380 Thank you so much, Hict. 0.57

00:42:49.260 I appreciate that greatly.

00:42:50.240 Yeah, I mean, the problem with Hassan is that he's one of those guys that doesn't know.

00:42:54.100 He's not an expert or anything.

00:42:55.100 He'd just be dabbling.

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.

00:43:08.620 That's what I was trying to tell him.

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?

00:43:23.880 What's the, damn it, there's a charge for it.

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.

00:43:52.480 I just can't think of it right now.

00:43:53.780 Obstruction of justice, bam, there you go.

00:43:55.100 Yeah, you can cut.

00:43:56.260 Yeah, they can get you with obstruction as well.

00:43:59.600 Thank you so much, chat.

00:44:00.620 Shout out to y'all.

00:44:01.240 Don DeMarco, y'all.

00:44:03.040 Don DeMarco, Mon DeMarco.

00:44:04.920 Okay.

00:44:05.760 So anyway, let's go back.

00:44:08.080 Okay.

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.

00:44:44.060 Our team is there.

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.

00:45:29.740 He is a free man.

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.

00:45:57.060 So, L after L for YSL, 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.

00:46:22.840 Liza Lucas joins us live with more on that.

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...

00:47:18.620 Everyone is taking deals, man.

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.

00:48:35.000 All right, let's keep going.

00:48:36.700 Guilty plea.

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.

00:48:57.780 The Fifth Amendment says...

00:48:58.980 See, even he says it!

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?

00:49:30.120 Why don't you just lie?

00:49:30.800 Here's the problem when you lie, guys.

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?

00:49:40.460 So, they're going to go back to prison.

00:49:41.780 Their sentence is going to be reimposed.

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?

00:50:09.820 150 hours of community service.

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.

00:50:21.500 Jury selection is set to begin early January.

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.

00:50:33.060 Yep.

00:50:33.660 Crazy stuff, man.

00:50:34.500 Crazy stuff.

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.

00:50:46.560 Did he snitch?

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.

00:50:55.860 You can look at that as snitching as you want.

00:50:57.660 It's up to you.

00:50:58.420 I just present you all the facts.

00:50:59.700 You guys choose what you want to do.

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.

00:51:45.380 One second.

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.

00:52:36.660 OK.

00:52:38.360 So, yeah, a lot of people.

00:52:42.220 All right.

00:52:43.740 May 9th, 2022.

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.

00:52:57.720 Give me ones in the chat.

00:52:58.480 If not, give me twos and I'll move on to something else.

00:53:03.860 Let's see here.

00:53:06.820 Let's see what the chat is saying.

00:53:08.420 Oh, resounding ones.

00:53:10.600 All right.

00:53:10.920 So, I don't think anyone has ever broken this down on YouTube.

00:53:16.300 So, I got y'all right now.

00:53:17.760 I got y'all.

00:53:18.260 I'm about to give you guys the fucking sauce.

00:53:19.960 Y'all, I'm the manco.

00:53:23.460 OK.

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.

00:53:30.980 I've done racketeering cases, a.k.a.

00:53:32.320 RICO cases at a federal level.

00:53:33.580 So, I know exactly how this is done.

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.

00:53:46.860 Thanks again.

00:53:47.240 Salute.

00:53:47.840 Shout out to you, my friend.

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.

00:53:53.640 Michael Meastruck, a dollar again.

00:53:54.700 Thank you so much.

00:53:55.700 All right.

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.

00:54:06.160 But we only got 754 likes.

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.

00:54:28.720 Okay?

00:54:29.460 Mind destroying Lassan Abi was the best moments on FNF next to Little Hitler. 0.93

00:54:58.900 That's what I'm here for.

00:55:00.180 Because when it comes to people like Lassan,

00:55:02.160 It doesn't matter what you think!

00:55:04.840 You know?

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.

00:55:13.440 Yep.

00:55:14.000 He didn't know what he was talking about.

00:55:17.520 Run up the likes, guys.

00:55:18.400 Run up the likes, and I'll break this thing down for y'all. 0.53

00:55:26.820 We're at $925, the faster I'm going to break this down for y'all.

00:55:31.280 And don't worry.

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.

00:55:58.780 93 murders.

00:56:00.140 I think 60 of them were confirmed by the FBI.

00:56:03.460 Let's see here.

00:56:05.020 Yeah, y'all.

00:56:05.860 Let me see.

00:56:06.340 Who was it that you guys picked?

00:56:07.580 I'm pulling it up right now for you guys.

00:56:13.680 Oh, I already did the Unabomber, guys.

00:56:15.680 I did the Unabomber.

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?

00:56:26.580 So, all right.

00:56:29.400 So, as y'all can see here, here's the channel, right?

00:56:31.860 I got the most popular videos, of course.

00:56:34.320 All the most recent, you know, recent to oldest.

00:56:36.660 And then I got the live streams.

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?

00:56:42.980 Then I got infamous serial killers.

00:56:45.460 I did BTK, the Zodiac Killer, the Railroad Killer.

00:56:49.140 Let me learn this for you real fast.

00:56:52.100 Okay.

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.

00:57:01.200 I'm going to do Samuel Little next.

00:57:02.220 And I did 9-11.

00:57:02.960 A lot of y'all guys went on 9-11.

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.

00:57:11.120 So I covered both sides, man.

00:57:12.800 Unbiased from both perspectives, okay?

00:57:15.840 And then I got clips as well.

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. 0.96

00:57:26.460 This was the Tory trial, right?

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?

00:57:43.780 Amber Heard, KFlock, Hush Puppy.

00:57:46.580 So, yeah, man, 6-9, all that stuff, guys.

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.

00:57:55.660 All right, let's see here how many.

00:58:00.700 Give me one second here.

00:58:02.020 The likes are at looking at YouTube.

00:58:08.980 All right, we're at 1,000.

00:58:11.820 Shout out to y'all, man.

00:58:12.560 Don DeMarco for all you, my ninjas.

00:58:14.620 Cool.

00:58:15.540 Don DeMarco.

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

00:58:31.340 as far as how a gang investigation goes.

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

00:58:39.100 these types of investigations are done.

00:58:41.280 And yes, I will be doing Christopher Duttus Koch.

00:58:43.480 I'm working on that with Dollface.

00:58:45.400 Don't worry.

00:58:45.840 I'm going to do that.

00:58:46.380 He was one of the biggest Jamaican truck traffickers. 0.98

00:58:48.080 That one's in the list.

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

00:58:58.180 to identify an enterprise, okay?

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?

00:59:07.220 So we'll make this nice and simple.

00:59:09.140 Let's say we identify some members of a gang like the Bloods or the Crips or the GDs or 0.93

00:59:14.100 something like that, right?

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,

00:59:31.660 as a fed.

00:59:32.200 The reason why you want to do this is because a lot of the times they know the environment

00:59:35.620 better than you.

00:59:36.440 They've arrested some of these guys for more petty crimes.

00:59:38.660 They know who they are.

00:59:39.540 They know who their family is.

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.

00:59:48.760 They're invaluable resources, all right?

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.

00:59:58.380 Why is this important?

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?

01:00:08.920 And recruit informants, all 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?

01:00:24.840 Drug trafficking, RICO, gang cases, et cetera.

01:00:27.060 All these cases involve multiple conspirators.

01:00:29.680 So you need insight into how the criminal activity is conducted, right?

01:00:35.220 Excuse me.

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

01:01:05.540 make sure that you get deported, et cetera.

01:01:06.980 These are all things that you can use to have leverage on the crook to have them go ahead

01:01:11.460 and cooperate with you.

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.

01:01:21.440 He doesn't know what it's like back in Mexico.

01:01:24.760 He doesn't even speak the language.

01:01:26.360 He's lived here his entire life.

01:01:27.680 So he doesn't want to go back.

01:01:28.860 So a lot of the times they'll cooperate just so they don't get deported back to a foreign 0.99

01:01:32.760 country that they don't know anything about.

01:01:34.340 And then bam, you got your informant, right?

01:01:35.960 So once you got your source, right?

01:01:39.080 Or source, once you get your first source, you want to go ahead and start working your

01:01:42.560 way into the organization.

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

01:01:55.020 criminal activity.

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

01:02:20.260 developing more informants.

01:02:21.760 Why?

01:02:22.120 Well, the reason for that guys is because when you have more sources, it validates a lot of the

01:02:28.520 information you're getting.

01:02:29.240 So if you got one crook telling you, yo, this guy's the top of the organization.

01:02:33.400 He's the, he's the main guy, right?

01:02:35.200 Or you got five crooks telling you, yo, he's the main guy.

01:02:38.400 He does X, Y, Z.

01:02:39.460 Well, guess what?

01:02:40.360 It's going to be more credible when you have five different people saying the same exact

01:02:43.560 thing versus only one person.

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.

01:02:52.040 A lot of times they're crooks.

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.

01:03:02.920 These are not necessarily your best witnesses.

01:03:06.680 So a lot of the times you need more than one, right?

01:03:09.240 To corroborate information.

01:03:10.860 One crook's testimony is never enough to put another crook in jail.

01:03:14.760 Guys, one more time for y'all.

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.

01:03:45.960 You need more than one witness, okay?

01:03:48.380 Which is why this case right here, this YSL case, I am a thousand percent sure they probably

01:03:54.380 have a whole bunch of informants.

01:03:56.480 They have a whole bunch of people cooperating.

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.

01:04:02.860 Let's start giving out plea deals. 1.00

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

01:04:13.160 the fucking hook.

01:04:15.100 All of them.

01:04:15.800 They're all on the hook, all right?

01:04:17.620 And if they're not on the hook and decide, well, I don't want to testify, congratulations.

01:04:21.440 You're going back to prison.

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

01:04:33.940 trial, all right?

01:04:35.060 So that typically is how you build your way.

01:04:38.380 And as you get informants into the organization, this is where you can start to do recorded

01:04:42.720 phone calls.

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.

01:05:03.940 Right?

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?

01:05:18.520 So they got recorded jail calls, right?

01:05:23.780 Let's see here.

01:05:25.720 Recorded jail call.

01:05:29.260 Video call.

01:05:30.560 Recorded video call.

01:05:31.500 Right?

01:05:33.940 Hmm.

01:05:34.240 Okay.

01:05:35.060 I know they have, let me put intercept here.

01:05:37.640 I know for a fact that they have intercepts on this case.

01:05:43.420 You know what?

01:05:44.120 It was closer to the end.

01:05:47.340 Now, in the indictment, guys, they actually have, look, they got like Instagram posts here,

01:05:51.500 right?

01:05:52.260 They got all kinds of stuff on this indictment.

01:05:55.200 They got pictures.

01:05:56.260 Let me find it here.

01:06:01.340 I know it was towards the end.

01:06:05.700 Uh, they got a bunch of people.

01:06:09.760 Bam.

01:06:23.160 So this right here, right?

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.

01:06:52.440 Okay.

01:06:53.620 Um, and then here they got, while speaking over a cell phone to an incarcerated Fulton County

01:06:59.680 inmate, right?

01:07:00.880 Cause if it had just been a jail call, they would have said that, right?

01:07:05.040 So that, that made me have a red flag.

01:07:08.000 And then also, there was another one guys, if I could find it, cause this is a very, this

01:07:17.320 is like a 60 plus page indictment here.

01:07:20.560 Um, yeah, they got so many things.

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

01:07:48.700 pursuant to such and such.

01:07:50.600 So look at that, bro.

01:07:51.500 They got like, they got everything, man.

01:07:55.160 Uh, uh, defendants, Marquis Huey, uh, Tanquerius Mender, man.

01:08:03.240 These names are a mouthful.

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

01:08:16.140 Georgia law.

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?

01:08:26.100 That was allowed in.

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

01:08:35.700 gang, if not for informants, huh?

01:08:40.300 So guys, it's, yeah, man.

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

01:09:08.300 young Doug.

01:09:08.760 Cause that's who they really want.

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.

01:10:03.280 Let's look the first, right.

01:10:05.840 It's by year, right?

01:10:08.960 So you come down and the first offense, January 25th, 2013, man, is when they first started

01:10:18.240 racking up charges against these guys.

01:10:20.820 Damn near 10 years, 10 years.

01:10:24.860 They've been looking at these dudes, bro.

01:10:27.120 That is the first count of the first act of this indictment.

01:10:36.060 Okay.

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

01:10:48.860 me, acts and furtherance of the conspiracy.

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

01:11:00.500 of the gang.

01:11:02.880 Okay.

01:11:04.080 And you go, look at all this stuff here.

01:11:08.140 Like just, just all kinds.

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.

01:11:43.700 Okay.

01:11:43.960 This guy, okay.

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.

01:11:54.340 And this happened in 2015.

01:11:55.560 So they've been looking at Young Thug for a very, very long time.

01:11:59.500 Okay.

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,

01:12:12.240 let's have a little bit of fun with this.

01:12:13.340 I'll show y'all real fast.

01:12:14.380 The, the, just how little, how, how much of a non giving a fuckitude Young Thug had, 0.64

01:12:20.440 right?

01:12:20.700 So you go back to my video, right?

01:12:23.360 Let me find it here.

01:12:24.420 I put timestamps in, which I always do guys.

01:12:26.100 I always put timestamps in the videos for y'all.

01:12:28.480 Uh, let's see here.

01:12:30.600 And it was from lyrics from bad boy featuring juice world self snitching.

01:12:34.780 Okay.

01:12:35.180 And he throws up the rake.

01:12:36.380 Okay.

01:12:37.280 Let's go ahead.

01:12:42.780 I'm going to, this is from the original video, by the way, guys, not to be confused.

01:12:46.560 All right.

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

01:12:56.000 dares wins, right?

01:12:56.920 As the SAS would say.

01:12:58.280 So this song right here, bad boy, we're going to go start with one 19 and one 22.

01:13:03.520 All right.

01:13:04.520 And this is the first lyric here.

01:13:08.280 Fair use of my own content.

01:13:09.500 God damn it.

01:13:11.520 And this was actually a very cool music video.

01:13:13.620 The concept.

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

01:13:41.240 some first amendment issues as well here.

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

01:13:50.660 yourself, how you want, et cetera.

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.

01:14:08.280 Okay.

01:14:08.600 And they did this to six, nine as well, guys use his lyrics against them as well on Billy

01:14:12.560 and, um, damn it.

01:14:15.300 What other song was it that they use against him?

01:14:17.640 It was Billy.

01:14:18.460 And I'll think of the other one, but yeah.

01:14:20.620 Okay.

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.

01:14:30.700 You guys just wait for it.

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

01:14:40.360 being charged and why they're charging it.

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

01:14:52.780 activity?

01:14:53.480 Let me really make, let me make that very clear for you guys.

01:14:55.940 Okay.

01:14:56.900 Please rewind that.

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

01:15:20.000 lyrics that juice world is saying?

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

01:15:37.880 to criminal activity.

01:15:39.460 Cause that's considered, uh, uh, um, uh, confessions and or comments of a party opponent.

01:15:45.480 Right.

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 0.90

01:16:03.860 conversations were heard.

01:16:05.240 Like, how are you hearing these conversations?

01:16:09.360 Okay.

01:16:09.720 So he says this, right?

01:16:12.120 I shot.

01:16:15.260 Oh man.

01:16:16.700 God damn, bro.

01:16:17.420 So I shot at his mommy.

01:16:23.140 Now he no longer mentioned me.

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 1.00

01:16:29.680 smoke you like a blunt.

01:16:30.780 Okay.

01:16:31.220 Now, the reason why this is relevant guys is because wife and Lucci's mom was shot at,

01:16:36.880 okay.

01:16:38.060 Uh, at her house.

01:16:39.360 And when she shot, when she got shot, um, they're pretty sure that it was young thugs

01:16:44.700 people that shot at her.

01:16:47.040 And he mentioned this in a song.

01:16:48.420 So bam, now they're able to use that song against him because they were able to independently

01:16:53.180 corroborate.

01:16:53.880 Yeah.

01:16:54.420 Wife and Lucci's family was shot at.

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

01:17:09.340 in the song, which is crazy.

01:17:14.500 I shot at his mommy.

01:17:15.760 Now he no longer mentioned me.

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 1.00

01:17:22.100 you like a blunt.

01:17:28.560 Yeah.

01:17:28.960 So, and, and, uh, why haven't Lucci's mom did actually get shot at man. 0.97

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

01:17:41.060 stamps are there as y'all can see.

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.

01:17:52.980 I hope you guys enjoyed that episode.

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

01:18:02.500 killer episode for you guys.

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.

01:18:11.680 Yes.

01:18:12.020 Thank you.

01:18:12.520 Someone good point.

01:18:16.180 Very good point.

01:18:17.100 That is true.

01:18:17.600 Uh, shout out to you, bro.

01:18:21.040 Cause, cause again, he had agreed to, uh, testify and he was not necessarily, he couldn't plead
