Co-defendant of Young Thug stabbed in jail while awaiting verdict, lawyer says
As jurors prepare to continue deliberations in the extensive racketeering case that had involved rap sensation Young Thug, one of the two co-defendants in Georgia's longest-running criminal trial was stabbed in jail, according to his attorney on Monday morning.
In a TikTok post, Douglas Weinstein, the attorney representing rapper Deamonte Kendrick, better known by his stage name Yak Gotti, said that he was stabbed in the Fulton County Jail and got in touch with him Sunday evening as he was waiting to be taken to a hospital for sutures.
Weinstein wrote on X, "Even though he sounded exhausted, I expect him to make a full recovery." "I expect to be able to see him in court today and will know more then."
The incident's origins and the severity of Kendrick's injuries were not immediately clear...
