The chaos caused by the Fulton County judge overseeing Jeffery “Young Thug” Williams’ racketeering (RICO) case continues to unfold days after a controversial secret meeting between the court, the prosecution, and the state’s lead witness that excluded the defendants’ attorneys.

Now, several motions are taking aim at the judge over that secret meeting. One motion filed this week by Williams’ attorneys seeks to disqualify and remove Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Ural D. Glanville from the case entirely — echoing a similar recusal motion filed by another co-defendant last week.

Another motion filed by an attorney who did attend that infamous, closed-door meeting — who never represented a defendant in the case and who intends to no longer be involved in the case at all — takes the judge to task for how he responded after the secret got out.
