The Georgia Supreme Court, Georgia’s highest court, has overturned the contempt conviction of Brian Steel, the attorney representing rapper Young Thug. Steel was previously held in contempt for refusing to disclose how he learned about a closed-door meeting between a judge, prosecutors, and a key witness in the YSL gang trial. The court's decision, announced on Tuesday, nullifies Steel's jail sentence, which stemmed from his refusal to provide this information during an argument with the judge.
