A judge in Georgia is considering whether to declare a mistrial in Young Thug's lengthy gang trial in Atlanta.

Talks of a mistrial began Wednesday after a state's witness accidentally exposed a piece of information to the jury by reading aloud information on the stand which should have been redacted, per 'XXL'.

If the judge does decide to move forward and declare a mistrial, this would render the case dropped, leaving room for lawyers to either start from scratch, or completely toss the case — which has previously been blasted for "poor lawyering" and "baffling" decisions, per the media outlet.

The Atlanta gang trial has now stretched over a whopping in legal proceedings, including 10 months of jury selection and 11 months of testimony — rendering it the longest trial in Georgia's state history.

Judge Paige Reese Whitaker has regularly expressed her frustrations with the shenanigans taking place at the legal trial, calling out Fulton County District Attorney's office for steps to "hide the ball" throughout what she deemed a "haphazard" trial.

A fed-up Whitaker refused to outright rule the case a mistrial, however, she did state she would consider doing so "without prejudice," which would allow prosecutors to try again alongside a brand new jury, if they so choose.

Fans in the comment section sounded off in the comment section of 'XXL's' post on Twitter, now X, voicing their opinion on what has become one of the most popular trials in hip-hop history. "Free thug they basically don't have nothing on him They're just trying to ride this s***t out," a fan penned.

"Mane let slime out ya playing," a second quipped. "Yo the justice system is systematically a failure and now they playing in our faces...... man we need to hit the reset button," a third wrote. "Free my [guy] Thugger and take Drake!" a fourth teased.

The YSL RICO trial centers rap boss Young Thug — real name Jeffrey Williams — and members of the Young Slime Life crew known as YSL.

The musician faces charges under the RICO Act, as prosecutors claim YSL is a criminal street gang linked to drug trafficking and violent crimes, drawing significant media attention.

At this time, Judge Whitaker has yet to announce her decision. Check back for updates on this developing story.
