Missing was the trial’s star defendant; Atlanta rapper Young Thug, one of four members of “Young Slime Life” who pleaded guilty during the lengthy trial. The two remaining defendants, Shannon Stillwell and Deamonte Kendrick, rejected plea offers after more than a week of negotiations. Both face murder and other charges.

Prosecutors also called on other witnesses, including Antonio Sumlin (Obama), who testified that he never viewed YSL as a gang, and Investigator Marissa Viverito, a gang analyst with the Atlanta Police Department.
