On October 31, the rapper’s trial, which was the longest in Georgia history, came to an end. According to The New York Times, he accepted a plea bargain and was immediately granted permission to return home on the condition that he serve a 15-year probationary period.

However, Paige Reese Whitaker, the judge overseeing the case, did state that the rapper might be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison if he breaches his probation in the future. In addition, Thug received a five-year sentence.

On one gang charge, two gun charges, and three drug counts, Young Thug consented to enter a guilty plea. In addition, the rapper entered a no contest plea to a separate allegation of racketeering conspiracy and gang. This essentially indicates that Young Thug chose not to challenge these specific accusations. A guilty plea for either might have resulted in legal consequences.

The agreement the prosecution was attempting to reach before Judge Whitaker’s sentencing is very different from this. The ATL rapper was given a 45-year term, which included 20 years of probation and 25 years in prison, according to the prosecution.
