With the jury off, defense attorneys and prosecutors in the YSL RICO trial had an opportunity to argue over key motions on Tuesday, two of them focusing on the degree to which rap lyrics and/or audio and video can be used in evidence. Ultimately, the trial judge declined to disturb the status quo and denied the defense motions.

In early March, rapper Young Thug, born Jeffery Williams, and his defense attorney Brian Steel asked Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Ural Glanville to keep in mind the Georgia Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn a murder conviction in an unrelated case. The high court found that jurors in the case of Morgan Cardelle Baker  — the close friend and road manager of another rapper — were shown a 33-second rap music video that was more prejudicial than probative.
