The RICO case of Young Thug and the YSL crew has taken so many twists and turns that their lawyers are also facing plenty of investigation. Moreover, defense attorneys complained of a new security protocol that forces them to be handcuffed while officials search their belongings for drugs. Furthermore, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, lawyer Anastasios Manettas faced accusations of harvesting prescription drugs and authorities handcuffed him during a search. Security brought him to the back of the room and had orders to search every bag and envelope. Previously in this case, a codefendant tried to pass Thugger a Percocet pill while in the courtroom.
However, that hand-to-hand deal reportedly stunned Young Thug and caught him completely by surprise, according to his legal team. Not only that, but many more instances of contraband and people sneaking drugs into jails and courtrooms contributed to this new policy. As such, these strict cuff-and-search procedures are reportedly unlike anything legal counsel had seen before in their careers. While YSL attorneys complained about this process, their complaints arrived amid a sea of circumstances that might warrant such checks.

Still, that's not to say that everything the court decided concerning this RICO case has been for the greater good. For example, many expressed disappointment and anger over the incredibly lengthy jury selection process, whether directed at the jurors or the court authorities. These delays occurred for many reasons; some logistical, others due to jurors misbehaving. What many can't deny is how this process only keeps these codefendants behind bars for longer. Despite concerns, hopefully the delays result in the cleanest and most just rule of law possible.
Meanwhile, Young Thug is keeping his head high amid the YSL trial, showing fans his strength. Recently, footage emerged of Thugger smiling in court, one of many instances where people reacted to his reactions. Many focused on footage of distress and tiredness, but the MC seems to be as positive as he can be given the circumstances.
