A lengthy pause in Georgia's longest criminal trial ever could soon end — if Judge Shukura Ingram wants it to.

The former prosecutor, who is nearing the end of her first six-year term, was tapped to oversee the YSL RICO trial on Monday after Judge Ural Glanville was ordered off the case.

Now, Ingram must decide if and how the case involving the rapper Young , also known as Jeffrey Williams, and several co-defendants should proceed.
 
Judge Paige Reese Whitaker has been assigned to handle the case. Whitaker is a former Fulton County prosecutor, who also worked at the state Attorney General’s Office. She has been a judge in Fulton County since 2017.

Ingram said because her courthouse deputy had a romantic relationship with a co-defendant in the case, Christian Eppinger, it could create an “appearance of impropriety.” She issued an order on Wednesday recusing herself and asking that the case be reassigned.

Ingram wrote that Stanley had been assigned to her courtroom at the time of the alleged relationship.

Glanville’s contempt ruling against Steel has since been suspended by the Supreme Court of Georgia.

Glanville has since released that meeting’s timeline and transcript.

Tomorrow's #YSL #YoungThug hearing will be in the same Glanville courtroom, but with Judge Whitaker presiding. Our photographer will be behind the camera and we will bring you the hearing live. No defendants will be in attendance. I can't wait to see what the next steps are!
