Rapper Slimelife Shawty is back on the stand.
This is the instructions the Judge gave the Jury to address the fact that 4 co-defendants were no longer n the courtroom.
The state is attempting to recall Det Thorpe to introduce a statement from Shannon in 2015 that they left out the first time. Schardt believes it’s because he said things that were helpful to Thug so now that he's gone, they want it in. Judge says no.
State will be showing Slimelife's music video "Where You From". The hook and second verse includes many familiar names
"Free Lil Shannon ... had them running with that cannon"
"Tounk still walking"
"Where I'm from those young n** go dumb, Free Lil Rod"
"Woody just got out"
"They know bout tick"
"Free Lil Shannon ... had them running with that cannon"
"Tounk still walking"
"Where I'm from those young n** go dumb, Free Lil Rod"
"Woody just got out"
"They know bout tick"
They also show the jury an instagram music video posted by Shannon, which Slimelife Shawty is seen in. They focus on the lyrics.
"I just beat a murder rap, paid my lawyer 30 for that"
and
"Me and my slimes above the law"

and

On Day 155, we are still talking about what "Slatt" means.
Slimelife says you can use it however you want to use it, including what he agreed to in his plea "Slime Love All The Time". He says it's just lingo.

On cross, Max Schardt (lawyer for Shannon) gets Slimelife to testify that his social media is largely controlled by his managers/label to help promote him
Slimelife testifies that claiming YSL in his music helped him gain fans from the area because of Young Thug's fame, even though he ended up getting signed to a different record label
Schardt is trying to address why Shannon would claim "YSL" without being signed. Slimelife says Shannon was trying to get signed by YSL.

Slimelife testifies that his relationship with Yak Gotti is just music
Slimelife testifies that the record label asks him to put certain stuff in his music to portray a certain image.
Now on the stand is the Medical Examiner for the autopsy of a murder that no one in the courtroom has anything to do with.
Next witness was a cop who was present for the raid of Young Thug’s home in May 2022. Yak Gotti was present and was also charged with the drugs and guns found.
Should be easier to fight since Thug plead guilty to the possession of all that, and it was his house.
