Jeffery Williams, the rapper known as Young Thug, has been sentenced to 15 years of probation instead of a lengthy prison term, raising questions about witness intimidation.

The two remaining defendants in the YSL trial, Yak Gotti and Shannon Stillwell, have been found not guilty on RICO charges, concluding a dramatic, long-running case continuing to make waves in Atlanta's hip-hop scene.

The trial of Young Thug and his crew exposed the RICO Act's flaws, showcasing how rap lyrics were misused by prosecutors to imply criminal connections that lacked solid evidence.

Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, pleaded guilty to multiple counts, including gang and drug charges, leaving his sentencing up to the judge.
