"If elected, I intend to restore justice, transparency, and integrity to the Office of the District Attorney and the dismissal of the YSL case will be my first official action toward that goal.”

Exploring Courtney Kramer's full statement as she intends to dismiss Young Thug YSL trial, if elected as next DA of Fulton County

For the unversed, rapper Young Thug was indicted over allegations regarding their YSL record label in 2022. It was alleged that although the label's acronym stood for Young Stoner Life, it was Young Slime Life (a criminal street gang) in real.

He was booked under Georgia's RICO law. In the indictment, DA Fani Willis accused Young Thug of operating a criminal gang under the guise of YSL Records. The rapper is still under arrest and is going through a trial.

Time and again, the Republican DA nominee has argued that the Young Thug case should have ended by now. In her recent statement posted on X, Courtney Kramer stated that she was surprised to see so much of taxpayers’ money being spent on a prosecution based entirely on witnesses having zero credibility. She expressed her concerns and mentioned the goals she wants to achieve if she gets elected:

“Fulton County citizens should feel safe in their own homes, parking their cars on the street and shopping in their own communities. Victims of s** crimes should know that their elected prosecutor prioritizes spending taxpayer dollars clearing the backlog of r*pe kits and not prosecuting cases for media attention.”

According to Kramer, the Young Thug YSL trial was a loss of the court’s time. It was over-prosecuted by the attorneys who had also been admonished for lacking preparation. The present judge had also condemned the prosecutors for not following their required duties to produce exculpatory evidence.

Courtney Kramer concluded her statement by mentioning that it was not a fight between the right and the left but between right and wrong.
