Attorneys for Young Thug say a judge has ruled that the rapper didn’t violate his probation with a social media post.

District Attorney Fani Willis said Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, reposted a social media post that included a photo of a district attorney’s office investigator that went viral.

The state’s motion says the investigator is currently testifying in a gang murder hearing and that there is a court order for her face not to be shown on TV while testifying.

According to a copy of the court order from Judge Paige Reese Whitaker obtained by Atlanta’s WSBTV.com, the district attorney’s motion to revoke Williams’ probation was denied.

“First, there is no suggestion that Mr. Williams knew of the Magistrate Court’s Order not to show the investigator on television while testifying. Second, the allegation asserts that Mr. Williams’ reposted an image and wrote a caption. This allegation does not violate the Magistrate Court’s Order or Mr. Williams’ conditions of probation. Third, there is no violation of Mr. Williams’ probation by reposting an image on social media and opining that the investigator is untruthful,” the motion states.

The motion goes on to say that any comments made about the investigator on social media “cannot be attributed to Mr. Williams in order to support a violation of his probationary sentence.”

  1. Criminal activity, law-enforcement when even judges attorneys it’s gonna be showed on television. But I think that all individuals that working in a higher authority and a lower authority should be protected in some aspects, but if you are an attorney or judge, it’s very important that our judges attorneys have some sort of protection, like presidents and governors. And they displayed something on television like the person that supposedly committed to cry we gotta go. We gotta look at this thing in a two-way street. They want to be protected too innocent into approving guilty so we should go both ways the person that’s being accused of something judges attorneys all should be protected

  2. Yung Thug went to trial, is on probation, prosecutors need to move on, and leave this rapper alone, he won, plain and simple, any further actions against this man is “HARASSMENT”
