@meghannmcuniff: Jurors in the Young Thug / YSL gang racketeering conspiracy trial have heard from Atlanta police detective Mark Belknap that Young Slime Life gang members signify their YSL standing by wiping their noses. You'll see Young Thug do this a lot over the years, and his lawyer Brian Steel pointed out in earlier witness exams that celebrities such as Lakers basketball star Lebron James have been seen doing the nose wipe. Today (Thursday, September 6, day 123), Chief Deputy District Attorney Adriane Love questioned Antonio "Mounk Tounk" Sledge about the nose wipe and how he uses it. Prosecutors have leverage on Sledge: He was charged with two crimes: felon in possession of a firearm and conspiracy to violate the Georgia racketeering law (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations aka RICO), but he pleaded guilty only to the RICO count, and the gun charge still is pending. His sentence for the RICO conviction was 15 years probation, which is what another plea deal defendant got, Trontavious "Tick" Stephens. Sledge admitted a lot in his plea deal, including that he personally knows that one or more YSL associates killed Donovan "Nut" Thomas on behalf of YSL, and that Young Thug gave them money to "lay low" in Miami directly after. The plea deal also he has personal knowledge of members of YSL committing RICO crimes "in order to increase the notoriety and reputation" of YSL and will testify YSL is a gang. But as we've seen, he's not backing up his plea deal in his testimony. #ysltrial #youngthug #law #gang #crime #rap
