On the 105th day of the Young Thug trial, attorney John Melnick, representing witness Kenneth 'Woody' Copeland, testified about alleged misrepresentations by the prosecution to the judge.

Melnick presented documentation indicating he was acting per Woody's wishes and had informed the District Attorney's office of his representation. His testimony covered an ex parte meeting and the prosecution's handling of Woody's immunity and communication with him. These proceedings have raised speculation about a potential mistrial.

Additionally, today August 5, former President Donald Trump was a guest on the Adin Ross Kick livestream. During his time with Ross, Trump brought up Young Thug and claimed he has been 'very unfairly'.

Melnick says the DA's office definitely knew he represented Woody, and he had conversations specifically with Ms. Love about representing Woody as a witness in this trial.

Lol Ms. Love objects to a "compound" question

Judge: "We're dealing with a bunch of lawyers, I think Melnick can handle that. Overruled" pic.twitter.com/6riyk2SVlG

Judge: "My point in all this was just so that Mr. Melnick could feel like he cleared his name"

Doug Weinstein proffers that Ms. Bumpus indicated directly to him that conversations between Woody/Hylton/Bumpus happened off-the-record, that Woody gave information about the Nut murder, and that there was potential Brady material.

Bumpus confirms some of the aspects from the Steel/Weinstein affadavits that were missing from the transcript.

Hylton tells Woody that they KNOW he didn't kill Nut, and she wouldn't let him say it on the stand & wouldn't go after Woody for perjury unless he says he killed Nut. pic.twitter.com/ep3EVC6NNV

To me, when Woody said off the record he had more info about the infiniti and it had something to do with someone that isn't on this case, is the only significant development from the off-the-record convo.

Let me know if I'm missing something. pic.twitter.com/n4iCOAqkHL

Lawyers are now making their arguments now for what all of what happened today actually means for the case.

a LOT of great argument from Schardt and Steel for sanctions on the state.

The Judge says she is definitely considering the issue of Brady violations and reconsidering the issue DISQUALIFYING the prosecutors… pic.twitter.com/hY60FP1bCE
