The State of Georgia has rested its case in the longest criminal trial in state history against the alleged criminal street gang Young Slime Life.
Just two defendants, Shannon Stillwell and Deamonte Kendrick, are still standing trial. Others, like hip-hop superstar Young Thug, have taken plea deals. Others have had their cases severed from the main trial.
Attorneys for Stillwell and Kendrick, also known as rapper Yak Gotti, rejected plea deals presented to them on behalf of their clients.
