Kodak Black’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, is coming to the defense of Young Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel, who was held in contempt of court during the ongoing YSL Rico trial. Steel’s refusal to disclose his source who provided information about a closed-doors meeting led to a 20-day jail sentence to be served on weekends by Judge Ural Glanville, who accused Steel and his colleague Keith Davis of trying to “extort the court.” Steel is expected to begin his sentence on June 14.
Cohen has taken to social media to criticize Judge Glanville and argue that the situation warrants a mistrial. He believes that the judge’s actions were unfair and unjust, and that Steel should not be punished for protecting his source. Cohen’s support for Steel emphasizes the importance of protecting legal rights and the duty to maintain confidentiality in legal proceedings.
The controversy surrounding Steel’s contempt of court charge has sparked a debate within the legal community about the boundaries of attorney-client privilege and the role of lawyers in upholding ethical standards. The implications of this case reach beyond the individuals involved and raise questions about the legal system’s treatment of attorneys who seek to protect their clients’ interests.
As the YSL Rico trial continues to unfold, Steel’s case serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by legal professionals in high-stakes criminal proceedings. Cohen’s defense of Steel highlights the solidarity among lawyers in defending their colleagues and the principles of legal ethics. Ultimately, the outcome of Steel’s sentence could have far-reaching consequences for the legal community and the administration of justice.
