Lawyer for Miles Farley aka Slato has filed a "Plea In Bar and Motion To Dismiss" based off of statutory and constitutional speedy trial arguments.

The argument is as follows:

- They filed a timely demand for speedy trial in November 2022

- They were taken to trial in January 2023 in compliance with the speedy trial demand.

- After his lawyer, Mr. Manettas, was (WRONGLY) arrested, Glanville made the decision to sever Slato. The State did not object, and Manettas had no chance to object to the severance because he wasn't even present.

- He has been trying to go to trial this whole time but the State decided to wait until the first trial was over to try him, over 2 years later, violating the right to a Speedy Trial based off his demand.

- He will file a follow up brief to support this motion in the near future

Miles Farley took a deal and will not go to trial, no jail time.

There are four YSL co-defendants remaining to stand trial in Feb. 2025: Christian Eppinger, Damekion Garlington, Demise McMullen and Tenquarius Mender.

Deamonte Kendrick is the only defendant out of the 28 indicted that was acquitted of all his charges, yet he remains behind bars due to unrelated charges and a probation issue.

We have muted the stream and are showing the seal while the judge handles other cases. Yak Gotti has not been called yet.

They are not moving forward today with Yak's arraignment. SO...nothing to see here...
