people forget (or just not paying attention) it's not just "young thug's trial".... there is still like 10 defendants. it's going to be hard to find a jury all of them can agree on, let alone find jurors that are available to sit on a long ass trial. then once that happens, gotta present evidence about all of them, to which all their attorney's gonna have objections and cross examinations. then all their attorneys gonna bring out defense witnesses, etc. i think you get the point.
tldr: this some bs
