What does the rapper’s settlement from the YSL lawsuit contain?

After more than 150 days of trial and more than two years in the Fulton County Jail, Jeffery Williams, aka Young Thug, was released Thursday evening.

Williams, who has been in jail since 2022 on an extensive Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act charge in Fulton County, pleaded guilty as part of a non-negotiated plea deal in the YSL RICO case.

In his plea deal, Williams was convicted under the first offender/conditional discharge statute, sentencing him to a total of 40 years, with the first five years in prison. The sentence was commuted to time served, followed by fifteen years of probation, followed by twenty years in prison.

Should Williams complete the entire 15-year probation period, the deferred portion of the sentence will be commuted to time served.

Williams pleaded guilty to counts 57, 58, 59, 60, 61 and 62 of the indictment, but pleaded ‘nolo contestere’ to counts 1 and 56 of the indictment. These counts were a conspiracy to violate the RICO Act and unlawful for persons in the position of organizer/supervisor/management of the criminal street gang.
