Young Thug FaceTimes Into Emory Law Class To Encourage Students To Pursue Defense Careers

After the longest-running criminal trial in the history of Georgia, Young Thug is free. After two and a half years in jail on suspicion of RICO violations, the Atlanta rap star arrived at a plea deal last week. The conditions of his release are extreme. Thug agreed to 15 years of probation, and he’s effectively banned from returning to his hometown except in very specific circumstances. Still, he’s out now, and he’s asking law students to consider careers as defense attorneys.
