Gunna’s legal team has filed a petition for him to be released from jail.
According to Billboard, the rapper’s team argues that Fulton County prosecutors have almost no evidence to suggest he’s committed any of the crimes he’s accused of.
“To allow Mr. Kitchens to be held in jail by the unsworn claims and conclusions of the state, devoid of any specific facts or supporting evidence – over objection by the defense – is to render his presumption of innocence meaningless and to discard his right to due process,” Gunna’s attorneys wrote in the documents.
Gunna, Young Thug and 26 more members of the YSL crew have been hit with RICO charges.
“Sergio should be free on bond. We believe the judge erred by not requiring the prosecution to put up evidence at the bond hearings. We sought to ask an appellate court to review that decision, but the judge refused to let us do it,” his attorney told XXL. “Habeas petitions are designed to secure an accused’s release from custody. We are hopeful that another judge will interpret the law correctly and grant Gunna pretrial bond.”
