DENIED (no surprise) - Judge Glanville has DENIED both motions for him to recuse himself. #YoungThug attorney Steel and Lil Woody's former attorney Bumpus both filed motions for Glanville to recuse himself from the ex parte/contempt/show cause issue.



Now judge Glanville says the show cause hearing likely won't happen on June 25 because he doesn't want to have it until after Woody is done testifying.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The judge overseeing the Atlanta trial of rapper Young denied a motion Tuesday calling for him to be recused or disqualified from the case.

On Monday, Brian Steel, one of Young ’s attorneys, filed a motion to have Chief Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville removed from the case and a mistrial to be declared over alleged misconduct during a private meeting by the judge related to witness Kenneth Copeland’s testimony.

After Glanville denied the recusal motion, Steel said he plans to ask Copeland, aka Lil Woody, about that meeting during cross-examination.

“When that day comes, I’m going to ask him about how much pressure if any the court put on him, and you’re going to be the one instructing the jury, and I just can’t imagine how that’s fair to Mr. Williams,” said Steel.

Glanville also indicated that the June 25 hearing about that meeting will likely be rescheduled.

Agreed. You can do your best thinking when running. moo

From the article:
“I don’t wear headphones or anything. I think about my family and my life and our cases,” Steel, 59, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I could be looking at an issue for a month and I’m just jogging and it’s so clear to me. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before.”

Both sides spent all day going over the Woody interrogation footage and agreeing on what to redact. They didn't get enough done today so the Judge said they'll continue working Thursday. No jury for the rest of the week. Lawyers will work Thursday and half of Friday.

Great thread running through how recusal works in Georgia, how it applies in the YSL case, and the next steps

In this interview, attorney Bumpus said her and Woody have a good relationship. She has represented him before. When he told the judge "she fired", he was doing it for her, because she was only supposed to represent him while he was in custody. Woody didn't want her forced to stay.

Attorney Bumpus revealed there were FOURTEEN people in the room for the ex parte hearing. 14!

No jury today in the #YSL #YoungThug RICO trial. Attorneys are still going over Lil Woody's police interviews and seeing what they agree on that should be redacted. What they don't agree on, Judge Glanville will decide. There are also 15 jailhouse calls the state wants to play. Those will need to be reviewed as well.

I can't believe I am still paying attention to this trial weeks later. It is so messy and so confusing.

"Glanville, as Chief Judge, has obstructed defense counsel's attempts to have a disinterested party review the numerous allegations contained in at least four affidavits which allege judicial misconduct and unfair proceedings. These affidavits, if true, would constitute serious violations of the Code of Judicial Ethics."

"Assuming this Court would not get the opportunity to review the decisions on the multiple Motions to Recuse unless or until the underlying case was concluded, Glanville continues to hide behind a purported standard that his actions would be reviewed in hindsight for abuse of discretion."
