The Young Thug and YSL RICO trial faces yet another obstacle. Moreover, it concerns state witness Quindarrius “Lil Dee” Zachary, also known as QZ. Authorities arrested him on a material witness warrant over a 2015 shooting and kept him in custody despite him reportedly going in and out of the hospital ten times over four months due to his serious medical condition. His lawyer appeared in court today (Monday, September 16) to plead for QZ’s release due to this illness, claiming that he will die if he remains in Fulton County. The judge posited that QZ is back at Grady Hospital, and the attorney said that he wasn’t aware of this development.
Apparently, the lawyer had talked to QZ’s family the night before, and other reports suggest that he was still in prison at 2AM on Monday. Elsewhere during the Young Thug trial today, they heard from other witnesses concerning the 2015 shooting, including police officers Adrian Pitts and Alford Turner. This also comes amid other Thugger stories, such as Wallo’s claims that the rapper made $1 million at a Rolling Loud performance. Also, the podcaster recalled how he warned Thug about how his crew was a liability.
Young Thug Trial Witness Is Allegedly At Risk Of Losing His Life Over Health Condition While In Custody
As far as the YSL RICO trial itself, some folks like DJ Akademiks think that Young Thug doesn’t have much hope. “As far as the trial, s**t show,” he told DJ Vlad. “What’s most likely gonna happen, I 100% do believe that he’s gonna be found guilty. They’re throwing everything and the kitchen sink… So much taxpayer money has gone into it, they don’t want to do a mistrial at this point. I think it’s gonna be guilty but I think it’s gonna be overturned on appeal and I think once it’s overturned on appeal, absolutely not they will not try it again.”
Others, though, are more positive, such as trial witness Lil Woody. “Father God we need you now more than ever I pray that you answer our prayer and free [Young Thug] & co-defendants,” he wrote on Instagram. “The world has seen the treatment our justice system has done to us lock us up forced us to tell untruthful stories. The mistreatment is cr*zy. Wrong is wrong we have sympathy for all the victims and their families as kids bad choices and punishment is acceptable but this is a different story this is corruption this is madness and very personal.”
