00:00It has been more than two years almost two and a half years since young thug young thug was arrested in Atlanta and
00:07Charged with a Rico case that back then everyone thought that's it
00:12They you know once they get you on a Rico you're gonna be done and this was based on his record label
00:18Allegedly kind of being a criminal as a criminal organization with murders and all sorts of right well guess what he is a free
00:25man today and the trial
00:28This is why this is why you can't guess early on you can't well
00:31I will say like this trial and again. It's been going on forever
00:34It is officially the longest trial in the history of Georgia
00:38But there were all sorts of twists and turns during this thing the last one coming yesterday when he struck a plea deal
00:45And ended up pleading guilty to some of the charges not all of them, but enough that is getting out
00:51He was out was really so what he pled no contest to Rico to the Rico
00:56Guilty on firearms right guilty on firearms. Yeah, it's a really big deal in the hip-hop community right now
01:02You got Drake Nicki Minaj TI Metro boomin his girlfriend Mariah the scientist everybody's celebrating and also
01:09Special court conditions allows young thug to associate with Gunna who was also a defendant on this case
01:14And you know they'll be able to make music again. They have a thousand pushing key hits together
01:19So you know it's gonna be back like old time
01:21There is a string attached very very very very very long straight. Yes
01:26Because he was placed on probation for 15 years 15 years of probation now
01:33That's a very long time
01:35and
01:36If though Charles, it's really dicey
01:38It's very dicey because if they you can you brought in you can run a violation violation run a stop sign because one of the
01:44Conditions is always obey all laws right and if he breaks
01:49Probation he can go back to jail for 20 years
01:53Yeah
01:53I want to focus on the uniqueness of this sentence for for a minute the 15-year probation period
01:58Runs now because he gets five years for time served and he starts the 15-year probation sentence the 20-year sentence is backloaded
02:05That's the way
02:05It's written in the documents meaning it stands there lurking over his head like a sword of Damocles
02:10And if he goes if he doesn't keep his nose clean doesn't stay away from the Atlanta metro area doesn't do his community service doesn't
02:16Do the classes pilot sentence violates any law and for 15 year period he will go to jail
02:23Hi, my name is Vanessa. I'm in the New York area
02:26This is good news for young thug
02:27You can tell that the trial was exhausting and it was definitely taking a toll on him
02:31So I know he's glad that it's over with even though 15 years probation is extreme
02:37I think he got a good deal
02:38He already has time served and as long as he stays out of trouble he should be fine and this happened on Halloween
02:44That was definitely one for the books, I'm not sure the judge timed it for Halloween
02:48Yeah, but it still did good news thug. You can go home and put on your costume, right?
