Fulton County YSL Gang Case Ends Without Murder Convictions After Three Years of Legal Battles
The lengthy Young Slime Life gang and racketeering case in Fulton County has concluded without any murder convictions after three years and 28 defendants. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office dropped murder charges against alleged gang members in exchange for guilty pleas, with the final defendant, Demise McMullen, pleading guilty to aggravated assault related to a 2015 drive-by shooting. Critics argue the prosecution’s reliance on the RICO statute was a flawed strategy, leading to a waste of resources and time without achieving justice or community safety.
In a significant development in Atlanta’s long-running Young Slime Life gang case, Fulton County DA Fani Willis drops murder charges against defendants, concluding the trial without convictions. The case, marred by evidence issues, highlights criticisms from attorneys about the prosecution’s approach and resource allocation.
