Judge Recused from Young Thug Racketeering Case

The judge overseeing the racketeering and gang case against rapper Young Thug and others has been removed 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 not finding any fault in the meeting itself. This decision is expected to cause further delays in the trial, which has already been ongoing for over a year.
