Judge Removed from Young Thug Racketeering Case

The judge overseeing the racketeering and gang prosecution against rapper Young Thug has been removed from the case after two defendants sought his recusal due to a meeting he held with prosecutors and a state witness. Judge Rachel Krause granted the motions for recusal to preserve public confidence in the judicial system, despite acknowledging that Judge Ural Glanville could have continued presiding fairly. This decision is expected to cause further delays in the trial, which has already been ongoing for over a year.
