WHY is he (appears to me)peeling & eating an orange in court?
Is he diabetic?

JM curiosity

I believe Judge Glanville addressed last week allowing certain eating/drinking during court. He did not want any gum chewing and something else, iirc.

Maldonado is done with his testimony and he will not be called back to testify in this trial.

TY. This is one I think the judge might dismiss the State’s case.
What a cluster imo .

Atlanta PD Sgt. Charles Ross is testifying right now. It's becoming harder to keep track of what he is testifying about because they are not following the overt acts anymore and sometimes the microphones in the courtroom are not working.



Also, for the past couple of witnesses, there have been a lot of times that attorneys have asked to approach to have bench conferences with Judge Glanville with objections they have.


The microphone on the witness stand has just gone out and it's harder to hear now.

A lot of buzz on social media today about Young ’s fit. He’s wearing a designer sweater w/ a wolf print on it. Despite claims that he’s taking shots at prosecutors, the hip hop superstar’s girlfriend, Mariah the Scientist just confirmed to me that it’s a “pure coincidence.”

APD Sgt. Charles Ross testimony is relating to overt act 77, which involves Quamarvious Nichols. His attorney, Nicole Westmoreland, has continuously objected to the evidence/exhibits shown by the state while Ross testifies.

Westmoreland is now cross-examining Ross on the arrest. She began questioning him about a social media post Ross saw that lead to him to go to the apartment complex and ended with Nichols being arrested.

Showing bodycam footage from the 10/23/18 (going past midnight into 10/24/18) of defendant Quamarvious Nichols. This is overt act 77 in the indictment.

Judge Glanville often says, "I sustain the question." or "I sustain the answer", for a long time I thought he was misspeaking and meant to say he sustains/overrules the objection, but he does it so often that I'm not sure.

After Westmoreland, Schardt and Young 's attorney Keith Adams cross-examined Ross.


5:06 PM · Dec 4, 2023


Careton Matthews Sr. also briefly cross-examined Ross, before the state returned and questioned Ross again.


5:10 PM · Dec 4, 2023


We are done with Sgt. Charles Ross testimony after multiple lawyers cross-examined him. We are also done for the day, as jurors have been dismissed for the day.



5:20 PM · Dec 4, 2023


Before they were dismissed, Judge Glanville again asked jurors to notify the court if anyone contacts them about the case.

5:22 PM · Dec 4, 2023

Recess for the evening.

Y'all, we need a little more buzz about the sweater, lol.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm...​

ATLANTA — It is now the second week of testimonies in the YSL RICO gang case involving Young and his five co-defendants.

Several law enforcement witnesses testified on behalf of the state earlier Monday, but the buzz was not in the courtroom...it was on social media.

Judge Glanville called our photographer to the bench along with state and defense. We sent a letter to the judge yesterday asking for clarification on filming witnesses. #YSL #YoungThug

 

[arielilane]

Long bench conference underway featuring two representatives from @LawCrimeNetwork.Having a little trouble ear hustling from back here, but I'm pretty sure this is over which of the state's witnesses can be filmed.

I’m downtown for Day 6 of the Young /YSL trial.
