I had a work lunch but former co-defendant Antonio Sumlin is on the stand.Before Sumlin, ATF agent Mark Tanner testified briefly on the stand.
Sumlin said he was nervous on the stand.He testified that he grew up in Cleveland Avenue became part of ROC crew around 2006-2007.He said some people stayed with ROC crew and others went to YSL but he claimed both.
“Me personally, I never looked at (YSL) as a gang,” Sumlin said about YSL being a gang.“I had a friend, who when I came home from prison he was successful, so I thought I was a part of something successful,” he said referring to Young




as the friend.
Sumlin testified that YSL stands for different things including, “Young Successful Living”, “Young Stone Lifestyle”, “Young Slime Life”.When he went to prison, it was Young Slime Life.
Sumlin said he has known Young




since around 2007, has known Shannon Stillwell for about 20-25 years and Deamonte Kendrick for about three to four years.
Sumlin testified that former co-defendant Cordarius Dorsey reached out to him to set up a robbery against a person.
Sumlin testified that a house nicknamed "Web" was Young




's childhood home and Sumlin used to spend time at the house. He testified that Young




got the house for people to have somewhere to go if they needed to.
Hylton is asking Sumlin some questions based on his factual acknowledgements, when Sumlin answers in a different way than on the factual acknowledgements, Hylton approaches Sumlin and shows him the factual acknowledgement he made.
Sumlin doesn't know when the rivalry between YSL and YFN started but it was probably around the time he was in prison.He said he knows YFN Lucci is a rapper.He testified that he doesn't know Jayden Myrick outside of this case.
The state played the jail call between Sumlin and Eppinger in which they are discussing how to get permission to harm YFN Lucci at the Fulton jail. The state alleges they were asking Young




for permission.
No evidence was presented about Young




ever being contacted and YFN Lucci was never harmed by Sumlin or Eppinger.
Sumlin said Eppinger didn't have to get permission to stab YFN Lucci since he is a grown man and could do what he wanted to do.
After Sumlin's guilty plea is entered by the state, Judge Whitaker read an instruction to the jury that the crimes that Sumlin plead guilty to relate only to Sumlin and not to the defendants currently on trial.
Sumlin said he doesn’t even know Harold Clements, the man he allegedly had a call with Cordarius Dorsey about robbing.
Sumlin is done testifying.
