During Young Thug’s trial, Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville ruled that lyrics could be used as evidence by the prosecution, but ultimately set conditions for it to be admissible.
Superior Court Judge: Glanville allowed Fulton County District Attorney’s Office prosecutors to use different lyrics from Young Thug as evidence against him and his alleged associates in the gang trial.
Lawmakers are now looking to change things with the new bill they are proposing:
WSBTV Shares- The bill sets rules and regulations for how the artistic materials can be put into evidence, and the process to allow it.
“Evidence of a defendant’s creative or artistic expression, whether original or derivative, shall not be received into evidence against such defendant in a criminal proceeding unless such evidence is determined by the court to be relevant and admissible after an offer of proof by the proponent of the evidence outside the hearing of a jury, or such hearing as the court may require, and a statement by the court regarding the findings of fact essential to its determination of admissibility is made part of the record,” House bill 237 reads.
What are you’re thoughts on courts using art/music during trial? Are you in favor of this new bill being proposed?
