Young Thug’s attorney Brian Steel will not have to report to jail this weekend.
This comes after the Georgia Supreme Court granted his emergency motion for bond.
On Wednesday, Steel filed an emergency motion for supersedeas bond in the Court of Appeals after Judge Ural Glanville ordered him to spend the next 10 weekends in jail after being held in contempt of court on Monday.
In a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Ashleigh Merchant, an attorney for Steel, said she is glad Steel doesn’t have to report to jail by 7 p.m. Friday.
“We are thrilled that Brian will be home with his family for Father’s Day this weekend,” she said. “We appreciate how quickly and thoughtfully our appellate courts handled this unfortunate situation.”
Channel 2 Action News was in the courtroom on Monday when Brian Steel was taken into custody after he refused requests to answer how he heard about a “secret” meeting between prosecutors, the judge, and a key witness in the YSL trial, Kenneth Copeland, on Monday morning.
