The ex parte meeting between Judge Glanville, state prosecutors, and Woody Copeland last Monday, continues to be a significant issue of contention in the YSL RICO case. Many in the legal field have called the meeting highly inappropriate, as it involved a sworn witness and the prosecution, but did not have representation from the defense.
Now, the attorney for rapper Young Thug is not only filing a motion for mistrial due to the meeting but is also claiming that Judge Glanville and the prosecutors should be called as witnesses at the trial to answer for the ex parte meeting.
The motion says:
Judge Glanville, lawyers for the State Love and Hylton will be called as witnesses at trial for the jury to understand this ex parte meeting and determine demeanor and credibility. Additionally, Mr. Williams demands all ex parte meetings to be disclosed, instanter, in order to properly reveal the full extent of all violations of law/ethics. Again, lawyers for the State Love and Hylton and Judge Glanville are necessary witnesses at this hearing and trial to determine the correctness of the Motion for Mistrial goaded by conduct of these parties/judge.
