Another swing for the Fulton County criminal justice system has resulted in yet another miss. Even more errors seem likely.

On Wednesday, the second judge selected to oversee the long-bogged down racketeering (RICO) prosecution against Jeffery “Young Thug” Williams — and over a dozen other co-defendants — recused from the case after serving in that fraught role for less than two days.

And now, the third judge randomly placed in charge of the high-profile proceeding may not find herself lasting very long there either.
