Young Thug YSL RICO trial: Brian Steel granted bond after being held in contempt | LiveNOW from FOX

Young Thug's lawyer Brian Steel has been granted bond pending his appeal of Judge Glanville's contempt order during the YSL RICO trial in Fulton County. The Georgia Supreme Court granted his emergency motion and he will not have to report to jail on Friday.

Earlier in the week, Judge Ural Glanville ordered Steel to serve time at the Fulton County Jail.

The incident unfolded after Steel approached the bench following the lunch recess, revealing his knowledge of an ex parte conversation that took place before court on Monday morning.

This conversation, which involved the judge, prosecutors, and witness Kenneth "Lil Woody" Copeland, reportedly included Copeland's admission to killing Donovan "Nut" Thomas Jr.

Judge Glanville demanded to know how Steel obtained this information, but Steel refused to disclose his source.

Before Steel was removed, several other attorneys demanded a mistrial. Additionally, Steel told Judge Glanville that removal deprived his client, Young Thug, of his right to counsel and again requested a mistrial.
