Yeah, she wants nothing to do with the case. Glanville shenanigans aside, the case has been so full of nonsense you could make an easy compilation of all the BS that’s since transpired. No, seriously:
Now, mind you, this half-hour analysis is based entirely on the first week of the case. A half hour may feel like a long time commitment when you have hours to bill, but you should at least listen to the prosecution’s opening statement at 3:12 – 3:54 for the unexpected Rudyard Kipling x Young Thug crossover episode.
The Fifth-Year Dilemma: Do I Stay Or Do I Go (In-House)?
How to make the right decision, and why there might be another way to shape a fulfilling legal career on your own terms.
This high-profile case is quite the burden to inherit. After a less-than-seamless hand-off, it seemed like Judge Shukura L. Ingram would be the one taking over. Not so much.
NEW:
Judge Ingram has RECUSED HERSELF
Her deputy was the deputy arrested for an improper relationship with Thug’s co-defendant Big Bhris (Christian Eppingee) and she didn’t want the potential appearance of impartiality.

No shame or blame in recusing, much rather that than pulling a Clarence or Alito. There’s already been a replacement for the replacement:
The Hidden Threat: How Fake Identities used by Remote Employees Put Your Business at Risk—and How to Defend Against This
Based on our experience in recent client matters, we have seen an escalating threat posed by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) information technology (IT) workers engaging in sophisticated schemes to evade US and UN sanctions, steal intellectual property from US companies, and/or inject ransomware into company IT environments, in support of enhancing North Korea’s illicit weapons program.
The new Judge in the Young Thug case has been assigned. Here we go again.

Don’t get too attached though, if she wants an easy out, she has one:

I’ve given up on this case ever being normal. Can’t say it isn’t entertaining though.
