The racketeering trial of musical artist Young Thug in Fulton County, Georgia, is testing the limits of the free speech and exposing a decades-old problem at the intersection of race, law, and popular culture, argues CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams.
After 10 long months of jury selection, opening statements finally began Monday in Atlanta in the trial of Young Thug. The rapper is accused of co-founding a violent criminal street gang and using his music to promote it.
Young Thug's lawyer, Brian Steel, went viral for his claims that 'thug' doesn't mean what most people think it means vis-a-vis his client, Jeffery Lamar Williams.
