[WATCH] State Witness In YSL RICO Trial Admits To Being High While On The Stand

Screenshot 2024 03 20 at 10.14.18 AM

In the latest turn of events in the unraveling saga of the YSL RICO trial with ATL trap rapper Young Thug and his YSL conglomerate, one of the state’s witnesses complained about not being able to stay awake because he was too high.

About two minutes into the above footage, Adrian Bean admitted he was sleepy while on the stand and so high that he might fall asleep. Bena even requested water from the prosecutors to help him stay awake during his testimony. Bean’s eyes appeared to be squinted above the COVID mask he donned during his appearance.

Bean is testifying about a 2013 incident allegedly involving Young Thug, alleging he doesn’t recall the events. He was concerned about death threats, harassment, and losing his job because of his involvement in the case. Bean claimed prosecutors were targeting him and inquired if he was on trial, to which the judge clarified that he was only summoned as a witness.

YSL RICO Trial UPDATE: Person Screams “Free Thug! Mistrial!” After Hacking YSL RICO Trial Zoom Call

Unconventional antics continued in the YSL RICO trial on day 16 when an unknown person hacked into the court’s Zoom call and repeatedly yelled, “Free Thug, mistrial! Free Thug, mistrial!”

Journalist Meghann commented on the sudden outburst advocating for Thug, saying, “To be Clear: There was NOT a mistrial. It would take a lot more than someone yelling “mistrial” for there to actually be a mistral, even if jurors did hear that. (Which they may have).” She added, “Also, it’s basically a sure thing that if there were to be a mistrial (there won’t), the prosecutors will re-try everyone. The rally cry really should be ‘Free Thug! Not guilty!’ or ‘Free Thug! Acquit!’ Jurors cannot call mistrials, and the judge isn’t going to take advice.”

YSL RICO Trial: Young Thug Wears ‘SEX Records’ Shirt To Court

During his most recent court hearing on Monday (Jan. 8), Young Thug took a big fashion risk when he wore a white button-up, which featured the words “SEX Records: Truly Humble Under God.”

Last year, Thug’s attorney, Brian Steele, argued that the rapper’s stage name was an acronym for “Truly Humble Under God,” with the “Young” paying homage to Tupac Shakur. Even though the emboldened message was not referenced during the hearing, a retired police sergeant reporting on the trial saw the message through a different lens and said that his shirt had a completely different meaning.

[WATCH] YSL Co-Founder Takes Stand In YSL RICO Trial To Demonstrate Gang Signs

Screenshot 2024 01 04 at 11.09.20 AM

One of the co-founders of Young Slime Life (YSL) appeared in court yesterday (Jan. 3) during the YSL RICO trial, taking the stand as a part of his plea agreement in which he would receive a 10-year sentence with two years and time served.

While taking the stand, Fulton County prosecutor Adriane Love asked Stephens about his involvement in gangs, including ROC (Raised on Cleveland) Crew as well as YSL, with Love seemingly getting frustrated with Stephens’ indirect answers about gang activities.

Love then asked Stephens to show the court gang hand signs used by members of Sex Money Murder, which he showed to the courtroom. When Love asked Stephens, “Have you ever falsely claimed ‘Sex Money Murder?’,” he admitted that he claimed false allegiance to the set.
