Court proceedings for the colossal, 56-count RICO case against Young Thug and his YSL collective are underway in Georgia, where initial pretrial release proceedings are beginning to give us a sense of the prosecution’s approach, which includes using Thug and Gunna’s song lyrics and social media posts.

Here’s what to know from the reporting around the trial, as well as a sense of what may come next.

A police shooting could have been the case’s inciting incident. In an interview with DJ Vlad, journalist George Chidi, who covers crime in Atlanta and has reported on Thug and his associates, claimed that YSL member Big Bhris shooting a police officer “set off the chain” of events leading to the arrests. Chidi also said he believes Thug “was aware that there was legal trouble brewing, that the cops were looking at him.”
