A witness for the prosecution in the Young Slime Life (YSL) racketeering (RICO) trial told the judge he was so high he might just fall asleep while testifying in Fulton County criminal court on Tuesday.

Adrian Bean is one of the people the state have sought to use to establish that hip-hop recording artist Jeffery Williams, better known by his stage name Young Thug, was at the scene of a drive-by shooting that took the life of Donovan Thomas Jr. on Sept. 11, 2013.

Bean, however, has not offered particularly illuminating testimony in the case so far. Late last month, he explained that his memory of the shooting and concomitant car crash was nil to nonexistent because he was frequently on drugs throughout 2013. Prosecutors have alleged Bean, Thug, and one or two others were involved in the fatal incident.

Now, the forgetful witness is likely to have his reliability — if not his basic presence in the trial and what it means — questioned again.
