Trump prosecutor Fani Willis dealt major blow after jury acquits 2 defendants in massive YSL trial

Donald Trump prosecutor Fani Willis was dealt a massive blow Tuesday after her prosecution of the YSL gang — Georgia’s longest-running trial — ended with the acquittals of the last two defendants in the case.

A Fulton County jury Tuesday morning found Deamonte Kendrick — who raps under the name Yak Gotti — not guilty on all charges and also acquitted Shannon Stillwell of all charges except for one count of firearm possession by a convicted felon, according to a report by WSB-TV.

Stillwell and Kendrick were accused of murdering rival gang member Donovan Thomas Jr., aka “Big Nut,” during a drive-by shooting.

In October, co-defendant and Grammy winner Young Thug copped a surprise plea deal in the case accusing him of being the ringleader of the YSL (Young Slime Life) gang.

The case kicked off in 2022 against 28 defendants, many of whom have since pleaded out, accusing members of the Bloods-connected gang of allegedly carrying out various crimes including, murder, armed robbery, drug dealing, carjacking and violence.

It is the longest-running trial in the Peach State’s history and was brought by Willis. Jury selection took 10 months and testimony began in November 2023.

Willis has come under fire in the past year for her admitted affair with Nathan Wade, whom she hired to lead the prosecution of Trump.

Willis is also the last holdout in the four criminal cases against the president-elect. Two federal cases against Trump have since been dropped by special counsel Jack Smith, and Trump’s sentencing in the Manhattan state hush money case has been indefinitely postponed by a judge.
