The recent development in the YSL RICO trial involves Judge Ural Glanville being recused and replaced by Ingram on a temporary basis. Court documents seen by Complex on Monday revealed that Glanville’s recusal was prompted by a meeting with a state witness. While the court acknowledged that Glanville could continue fairly as a judge, his removal, along with Ingram’s, was done to uphold public confidence.
The removal of Glanville had been a topic of discussion in the weeks leading up to the decision. Thug’s lawyer, Brian Steel, had previously filed paperwork seeking Glanville’s removal due to alleged misconduct.
A new judge, Paige Reese Whitaker, has now been assigned to the case, as reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. This change follows the removal of Glanville and the appointment of Ingram in the YSL RICO trial.
