Bradford Cohen, Kodak Black’s lawyer, is speaking out in defense of Young Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel, after he was held in contempt of court on Monday for refusing to disclose his source about a conversation held between the judge, prosecutors, and one of the state’s star witnesses.
Judge Ural Glanville sentenced Steel to a 20-day jail sentence to be served on weekends, accusing Steel and his colleague Keith Davis of attempting to “extort the court.”
This case and judge is off the reservation. This is an instant mistrial. I cannot believe the Judge thinks taking a defense atty into custody isn't a mistrial. BRIAN STEELE is a real one. Defense lawyers across the country should be terrified by the lack of judicial knowledge https://t.co/qtVykTyNj4

Steel will begin his jail sentence on June 14.
Steel informed the judge that Thug does not wish to go forward without him and is violating the rapper’s right to counsel.
