Young Thug

<p>As if this case couldn&#8217;t take another twist, a juror in <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/414029-lil-keed-mariah-the-scientist-advocate-for-ysl-young-thug-and-gunna-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the YSL trial</a> involving <a href="/profile/youngthug" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Young Thug</a> has come under fire. Jury selection has been an arduous process, as a reported<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/618312-young-thug-ysl-trials-juror-questionnaires-revealed-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 600 potential jurors</a> have been questioned. <em>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</em> reporter Jozsef Papp has kept the public updated on the selection, and on Twitter, he shared an eyebrow-raising update about Juror #64.</p>



<p>According to Papp, much of today&#8217;s hearing in the YSL case focused on potential jurors hardships. Some were pardoned due to work or personal reasons, but others were pushed forward in the selection process.</p>

<p>The<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/617700-judge-warns-jurors-not-to-discuss-details-of-young-thug-ysl-case-after-hearing"> second panel of 200 jurors</a> was looked into, including a Paralympics athlete training for 2024. That person was reportedly excused from duty. Further, an APS teacher was denied, reported Papp, after stating she suffered from neck and back problems.</p>



<p>However, the more startling report was about Juror #64, who didn&#8217;t show up to the hearing at all. </p>



<p>&#8220;We are getting update on juror #64, who did report the first day last week but didn&#8217;t report yesterday,&#8221; Papp tweeted. &#8220;After deputies went to her address, she wasn&#8217;t there. Her grandmother told deputies she wasn&#8217;t there.&#8221;</p>
