  • Feat Doug Weinstein Part 2 | Doug Weinstein UNPACKS TRUTH on Brian Steel & Diddy,Young Thug vs Gunna Pleas, & Feds' Immunity Trap
    Jun 19 2025
    Doug Weinstein UNPACKS TRUTH on Brian Steele & Diddy, Young Thug vs Gunna Pleas, & Feds’ Immunity Trick in this can’t-miss episode of It’s Up There Podcast. Dive deep into how Georgia’s most explosive hip-hop legal battles really went down: Doug first lays out the jaw-dropping saga of Brian Steele—lead defense attorney for Young Thug in the record-breaking YSL RICO trial, held in contempt and briefly jailed for exposing an ex parte meeting, then vindicated by the Georgia Supreme Court. Now, Steele’s reputation has crossed coasts: he’s been tapped to join Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense team in the Miami sex-trafficking case Switching gears, Doug breaks down why Jeffrey “Young Thug” Williams’ blind plea couldn’t be more different from Gunna’s negotiated deal and exposes the feds’ immunity “trick” that actually strips defendants of their Fifth Amendment rights—no choice, no take-back. He also pulls back the curtain on the leaked jail calls and pretrial leaks that have dogged Diddy since his September 2024 arrest on federal sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, highlighting how unauthorized recordings and leaked notes threaten fair trial rights This episode doesn’t stop there: Doug critiques the controversial use of rap lyrics and logos as “evidence,” details the courtroom clashes between Judge Glanville and Judge Whitaker and reveals his own behind-the-scenes lobbying for Georgia’s Rap Act reform to protect artistic expression. Whether you’re a hip-hop head, a legal junkie, or a culture critic, you’ll get the insider analysis on: Brian Steele’s integrity arrest and Supreme Court victory The real risks of non-negotiated pleas vs. plea bargains How “immunity” is wielded as a coercive tactic Diddy’s bail denials, jail calls, and aggressive prosecution The fight for the Rap Act to safeguard creative freedom 🔥 Subscribe for weekly hard-hitting breakdowns on It’s Up There Podcast 💬 Join the convo: Tag @ItsUpTherePodcast and drop your hot take! 💖 Support us: https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast #briansteele #seancombstrial #diddy #YoungThug #gunna #ysltrial #diddy #youngthugger #pdiddytrial 0:00 – Introduction and Doug Weinstein's Background 2:15 – YSL Trial Overview and Case Complexity 4:32 – Initial Reactions to the Indictment and RICO Charges 7:18 – The Secret Meeting Controversy and Judge Glanville 10:45 – Brian Steele Arrest – Unprecedented Legal Drama 14:22 – Criminal Defense Bar Solidarity and "SEAL Team Six" Response 17:56 – Judge Whitaker vs Judge Glanville – Contrasting Judicial Styles 21:30 – Witness Immunity System Explained – Not What People Think 25:12 – Woody's Testimony and Forced Immunity Discussion 29:45 – Kenneth Copeland's Cooperation and Lies to Police 33:18 – Rap Lyrics as Evidence and Prosecutorial Misconduct 37:24 – The "5 Million on Your Head" Misinterpretation 40:15 – Advocacy for the Rap Act and Protecting Artistic Expression 43:52 – Ms. Love's Aggressive Prosecution Tactics 47:33 – Evidence Alteration Accusations Against Brian Steele 51:08 – Young Thug's Plea Decision – Non-Negotiated vs Negotiated 55:45 – Comparing Young Thug's Plea to Gunna's Plea Deal 59:12 – Yak Gotti Standing Trial – "I Had Nothing to Do With It" 1:02:30 – Losing Thug and the Defense Team's Response 1:09:15 – Law and Crime Documentary Criticism 1:12:33 – Thugger Daily and Independent Journalism Praise 1:15:20 – Rich Homie Quan Interview and YSL Dynamics 1:18:45 – Jail Phone Call Leaks and Unethical Behavior 1:21:13 – Payment Structure for High-Profile Criminal Cases 1:23:41 – Court Appointed vs Private Attorney Differences 1:26:28 – Judge Glanville's Reputation and What Went Wrong 1:29:45 – Final Words and AppreciationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
