According to nme.com, Young Thug‘s lawyer Brian Steel was held in contempt of court on June 10 for allegedly refusing to reveal his source for an alleged conversation involving Judge Ural Glanville. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Steel was sentenced to 20 days in the Fulton County Jail, with the attorney ordered to serve his sentence on weekends.
Though Glanville allegedly commanded Steel to start on June 14, Fox 5 reports that Steel was successfully granted an emergency bond by the Georgia Supreme Court and will reportedly stay out of court. Steel also applied for an appeal, which is reportedly still pending.
Copeland would have reportedly testified that Thug had allegedly rented a car with the alleged intent to allegedly murder Donovan ‘Peanut’ Thomas. However, Copeland was held in contempt on June 7 for allegedly refusing to testify, despite allegedly being granted immunity.
Steel allegedly knew about an alleged meeting that had allegedly taken place that Monday morning and he allegedly went on to suggest that Copeland may have allegedly been intimidated or coerced ahead of taking the stand on Monday. When asked to reveal who Steel heard the conversation from, Steel allegedly refused to tell Glanville, arguing that he should have been involved in the alleged conversation.
Glanville allegedly did not deny that a meeting had taken place and apparently said there was “nothing that was improper” about the conversation that took place. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the conversation became increasingly hostile, until Glanville allegedly held Steel in contempt and ordered him to be taken into custody. Steel then motioned for a mistrial, by saying: “You are removing me against his will, my will, and you’re taking away [Williams’] right to counsel.”
Glanville eventually allowed Steel back into court, on the condition that he reveal his source by 5pm, or else his contempt charge would still stand. Steel did not reveal the source.
