Judge Rules Lyrics Can Be Evidence In Young Thug RICO Trial

2023-11-16 by Worst User of All Time Agreed | 27 Comments
Bleak news for Thugger has dropped as a judge has ruled that lyrics can be used as evidence in the criminal trials of Young Thug and Gunna.

Thugger's attorney Brian Steel argued otherwise, retorting “They are targeting the right to free speech, and that’s wrong,” and “They are saying that just because he his singing about it, he is now part of a crime."

Some dreamy stuff like il:lo would be super. Also maybe some exciting chip tune or some post hardcore stuff that isn’t too Swan-y or metallic

All you guys freaking out, read the article, they’re not just taking random lyrics as an admission, case closed, they’re just permitting them to be submitted as evidence. Maybe it’s super weak evidence that will count for nothing, or maybe not. If you brag about real crimes in a song that seems like fair game.

The lyric would just be a small piece of the pie in the totality of the evidence. It’s not like anyone’s going to jail over a lyric.

-- Lawyers in Nevada slapped Judas Priest, a British rock band, with a lawsuit over alleged subliminal messaging as the “Satanic Panic” took hold in the 1980s.

Fact check your references Economist lads :-P, Judas Priest were a rock band in the '70s, and a metal band from the '80s hitherto.
