Young Thug Contempt BS Part 2 (ft. Ashleigh Merchant!)
Added 2024-07-04 06:41:27 +0000 UTCOA1047
We continue our coverage of the contempt hearing against Young Thug attorney Brian Steel with a very special guest! Attorney Ashleigh Merchant is not only the president of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, but most recently known for her work in seeking to recuse Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis from the Trump RICO case. Attorney Merchant provides her impressions of the YSL RICO trial and why GACDL’s has to have a special “strike force” to defend attorneys in contempt matters before giving us the play-by-play on her cameo appearance in the dramatic conclusion to the hearing which we covered in Part I yesterday.

2024-11-07 18:49:56 +0000 UTCI don’t get how it would be possible for contempt to be direct (where the judge sees the contemptible action directly - vs indirect where the judge only knows of a contemptible action) but NOT make the judge a witness. What’s the difference between direct contempt (which seems like the judge correctly judged) vs contempt that makes the judge a witness (which seems like the judge was acting improperly)?

2024-07-05 20:09:08 +0000 UTCHe sounds like he thinks he's accountable to no one. Who does he think he is? A supreme court justice?!

2024-07-05 20:04:34 +0000 UTC"He's gotten the due process he is going to get," is maybe the wildest thing I've heard a judge say in open court.

2024-07-04 13:48:13 +0000 UTCI'm always in awe of anyone who can maintain their composure in the face of clear injustice. I just don't have that ability. Ms Merchant certainly does.
