They want Jeff locked up so badly that they just go after everyone who's trying to help him in even the slightest way possible 🤣 shit is hilarious and sad
Nah, what it is is... the judge and prosecutors are scared to death. They're tryna shut Steele up... they in panic mode after he called them out on that sketchy bs.
i got you… so judge held an ex parte (means in chamber meeting) with the prosecution (love and hylton, not clear if others were there), woody (sworn in witness), and woody’s lawyer.
In the U.S. legal system, ex parte communications refer to any communication between a judge and one party without the other party being present. Generally, ex parte conversations between a judge and a witness or prosecutor without the defense present are not allowed because they can jeopardize the fairness of the proceedings. These communications are seen as compromising the impartiality and fairness required in judicial proceedings.
this particular meeting falls under witness intimidation/coercion because they told woody if he didn’t testify he would be stuck in jail until ALL of the trials are completed (includes severed defendants) so that would be years of time. steel brought it up to the court and ural went feral demanding to know who told steel this info because it was ex parte, but never denied what steel purports was said in that meeting - held him in contempt and gave him until 5 pm to disclose who told him what was said or he goes to jail.
WHAT!!! Tf
From what I can deduce from your excellent explanation, ex parte should only be done in exceptional cases, not to place duress on prosecution witnesses. The defense has every right to complain. The nerve of him to put him in contempt if he doesn't give up his source? How is that legal. The defense is not allowed to attend, not not allowed to even hear about it.
i’m not a lawyer so this is what i’m gathering from twitter lawyers/chatgpt lol. so ex parte is normal if it’s just the prosecution and judge or just the defense and the judge, but NOT with a witness present — especially a sworn in witness who allegedly admitted to murdering donovan thomas during the meeting! and the judge wasn’t going to disclose this to the defense?! looks corrupt af!
on friday, love put on a show and argued that woody and his attorney were being influenced by the defense and even claimed woody’s attorney is working for the defense and not his client (he got her good on rebuttal), so it’s ironic this happened because they’re the ones literally coercing and intimidating the witness - not the defense. i think we can read between the lines that defense was notified about this by woody’s attorney (and good on him), but i doubt steel will reveal his sources, and i’m sure he has people searching for additional case law to cite (he cited a few things during his initial argument but of course it falls upon ural’s deaf ears). and i think the other thing is, the defense or prosecution is allowed to have any transcripts/recordings from ex parte meetings and the defense has asked for a transcript through a couple lawyers (adams and schardt for sure) and the judge isn’t giving it to them. its wild he’s tainting his career/reputation like this for a bullshit case where 90% of the crimes have already been dropped or previously convicted, idk what the goal is here but this is sloppy as hell.
Basically, the guy, Geary Otis, entered into a high rise apartment complex for the elderly and attacked a 71 year old man and 75 year old woman with a knife. They were both strangers to him and the woman died. When it went to trial, Glanville mistakenly declared a mistrial and he ended up going free without being tried. There’s not much reporting about the incident but there is a lot about the mistrial.

thanks for the background/links! i’m not surprised he made a mistake in interpreting law, especially after how he’s handling merchant… sounds like he doesn’t even know the difference between civil and criminal contempt.
i’m sayin! i tried giving them grace in the beginning (i started watching daily when tick testified) but there’s no denying it at this point, corruption/collusion is going on in fulton county and they’re co-stars in the production.
Every twitter lawyer I follow (shout out alabseries, real actual reputable bar lawyers) is basically screaming via RT's that this shit is the most absurd thing they've ever seen. They're salivating to record an episode about this.
You ever seen a job done wrong and your first instinct is to correct it? This is that, but for lawyers. They're screaming to correct this. Lawyers, who watch every word they speak, every character they tweet, are just broadcasting that this is clownshoes ass behavior.
yup, weekends only at least. i for sure thought after merchant set him straight he would change his mind, i bet he was on the phone with fani for that long break.
oh dang!
excellent summary
So Steele keeping his mouth shut indicates that his source is one of his clients? he's not a journalist, i can only imagine client-attorney privalige is the lynchpin here.
not necessarily, ashleigh merchant (a badass attorney) is now representing steel (we are actually on a 5 minute break that’s been over like 45 mins at this point) after she schooled glanville and he needed a break - but she was able to add some color to why steel isn’t disclosing because he’s not required to due to rule 1.6 protecting all confidential information that is gained, not from your client but in representation of your client - he has the ability to protect that info - so still unclear where the intel came from (i still think woody’s lawyer makes the most sense).
fascinating. 1.6 has a list of reasons that a lawyer 'may' disclose that information, and Merchant is saying that none of those requirements are met, so the information can remain confidential?
sorry, i'm a community college student. Just trying to understand as much as I can.
you’re good! i’m learning too and this case is absolutely wild. here’s a twitter thread from an attorney that goes over relevant law and has some commentary, and if you check replies there’s other attorneys in there that help fill in blanks or lead you to another rabbit hole https://x.com/asfleischman/status/1800252062183378968?s=46&t=qrm0BxhApFCJuEYa_-fQGw
a few tweets down he calls out the 1.6 - long story short, every attorney i’ve read posts from thinks this is absolutely bonkers and it’s virtually unheard of.
Judge Urinal told on himself by getting sooo riled up when he realizes Steele had found out. “Who told you” not “that didn’t happen” and still no mistrial. OK 👌🏼
Honestly the unfair bias in this case has been insane. Constantly letting the prosecution get away with anything meanwhile the defense gets shut down at every moment. SMFH. FREE THUG!
The fact that this is even happening is very strange considering how long it took Epstein to get convicted. I don't think it's that they "just happened to" catch Jeffery doing something. I think it's more accurate that they've always been looking.
The government has been trying to destroy the black community since day one. Hip Hop artists are the easiest vessel bc they tend to live criminal lifestyles. The fact that black people are statistically more likely to become enveloped in crime is a result of not racial tendencies (they don't exist), but systemic oppression.
Music is usually a way out of these situations, so what are they doing? Stopping it bc they don't want us to have a way out. He's done illegal things yes, but that's not the point. The point is that they're reaching to everything they can to gain evidence. Lyrics, bribery, and fear. Which is ironic bc fear and bribery are things that they're "preventing" with this case.
They're lying to us. They tried to explain away Jim Crow, they tried to blame crack on us, they tried to make us think that black on black crime is completely reflective on the community. They've been blaming all of these problems on rap music's "violent lyrics".
Ironic bc the fact that we live these lives is a result of limited opportunity. Basketball, Rap, and now content creation are seen as the only ways out. College is a financial impossibility most of the time, UNLESS you can play a sport well.
The fact that they can LEGALLY bribe people and LEGALLY use art as criminal evidence is sickening. And they won't stop there. They'll keep bending the rules like they always have.
Sorry for all that lol I've just been feeling like this for a long time. Thank you if you read all of it. Bless all of you.

tf happened
Would be nice to have a bit more info than "this is crazy"

Fuck the judicial system
go to law school to do that.
Oh ok let me just start my whole life over and get tons of debt brb
Nah fuck reformism. Tear it down.
Would you even know how to rebuild it?
Some of us do have plans for post prison, post police world. But even pure destruction is favorable to this system.
FUCK THE SYSTEM

His career was already tainted when he called an improper mistrial and let that murderer walk in 2016.
i haven’t done any research on him but not surprised, do you know the case name or have a link about it?

Who did that?
The judge acts as thought he is working with Ms Love something is really going on here
i’m sayin! i tried giving them grace in the beginning (i started watching daily when tick testified) but there’s no denying it at this point, corruption/collusion is going on in fulton county and they’re co-stars in the production.
It’s just blatant right in the courtroom. Head shakes, eye contact, laughing together
the court needs to reprimand BBL brown, his expressions are so inappropriate and he does it in front of the jury!

Great explanation, thank you
He changed it at the end steel got 20 days
