Young Thug Attorney in RICO Case Says THUG Means “Truly Humbled Under God”

Young Thug said what gang? He’s a man of God doing good for his community and his loved ones.

Check out the video below of his attorney Brian Steel explaining what the moniker “THUG” means as it relates to Young Thug’s stage name. He also claims the rapper is a studio gangster who did not live out his raps. According to Steel, “Pushing P” stands for “Pushing Positivity”.

“He is not running a criminal enterprise on Cleveland Avenue to gather money and power,” Steel says, arguing that by 2014, the rapper, whose legal name is Jeffery Williams, was a superstar who wouldn’t have had anything to gain and everything to lose by running on the street. “He is not sitting there telling people to kill people. He doesn’t need their money. He’s worth tens of millions of dollars.”

Jeffery Lamar Williams, is charged with violating Georgia’s anti-racketeering and gang laws, among other things. He was indicted last year along with more than two dozen other people, five of whom are set to stand trial with him.


Ex Officer Convicted of the Murder of George Floyd Stabbed in Prison

NBC News — Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of George Floyd’s murder, was seriously injured in a prison stabbing.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons would not confirm the victim of an attack at that facility on Friday is Derek Chauvin, but it offered other details in a statement, including that the victim was hospitalized.

The assault took place about 12:30 p.m., the bureau of prisons said, and “responding employees initiated life-saving measures for one incarcerated individual.”

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement that he was “saddened” by the incident.

“I am sad to hear that Derek Chauvin was the target of violence,” Ellison said. “He was duly convicted of his crimes and, like any incarcerated individual, he should be able to serve his sentence without fear of retaliation or violence.”

77-year-old Texas Lawyer Arrested for Allegedly Smuggling Drugs into Texas Jail

Wow I guess you’re never too old to hustle. I came across this article on Apple News and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I can’t imagine a senior citizen placing themselves in this situation even for a dollar but I guess crime pays extremely well, perhaps more than a lawyer’s salary.

A defense attorney in Houston, Texas, is facing up two felony charges and up to ten years in prison after being accused of smuggling drugs to inmates in a county jail.

According to the article, multiple inmates fell ill after injecting the drugs from laced paper documents. The lawyer is accused of being a major supplier of the drugs, disguised as regular mail. Inmates would pay anywhere from $250-500 to the attorney to bring in laced documents with ecstasy, synthetic marijuana and narcotics. Two inmates have died.

There are apparently other attorneys under investigation as well after an uptick in overdoses inside the jail. Over the past few years the jail has failed a number of inspections for things like laxed monitoring & failure to provide medical care to inmates.
