Young Thug’s only chance to get out of jail on bond just flew out the window.
Fulton County Judge Shukura L. Ingram recused herself from the YSL Rico trial on Wednesday.
Her recusal comes after Judge Ural Glanville was removed from the trial for holding a secret meeting with a key witness.
Crime and public safety reporter Jozsef Papp announced Judge Ingram’s recusal on X/Twitter on Wednesday.
Papp wrote: “Judge Shukura Ingram has recused from the YSL/Young Thug case over the incident involving Christian Eppinger and a courthouse deputy.
Ingram said the deputy arrested was responsible and assigned to her courtroom for six months.”

The tweet refers to YSL defendant Chris Eppinger whose case was severed from the other YSL defendants and moved to Judge Ingram’s courtroom.
A female deputy assigned to the YSL trial was arrested after authorities seized her laptop and discovered love letters to Eppinger. The deputy was charged with having an inappropriate romantic relationship with an inmate.

According to Papp, Judge Paige Reese Whitaker has been assigned to handle Young Thug’s YSL RICO case.
Whitaker is a former Fulton County prosecutor, who has been a judge in Fulton County since 2017.
What this means is there’s no chance that Young Thug will get out of jail on bond. He has been in jail since his arrest in May 2022.
