Jury selection in the trial of Young Thug is set to begin in an Atlanta courtroom this morning as the rapper faces gang-related charges in a sweeping grand jury indictment in Fulton County, Georgia.
of participating in street gang activity, three counts of violating the Georgia Controlled Substances Act, possession of a firearm while committing a felony and possession of a machine gun."Mr. Williams has committed no crime whatsoever," his attorney Brian Steel told ABC News. "We will fight this case ethically, legally and zealously. Mr. Williams will be cleared."
Young Thug was among 28 individuals named in the indictment who are allegedly associated with the Atlanta-based Young Slime Life , a gang that prosecutors allege Young Thug founded in 2012. But YSL, which is also the acronym for "Young Stoner Life," is also the name of the rapper's label -- an imprint of 300 Entertainment. The label is not named in the indictment.
