Young Thug‘s attorney, Brian Steel, has set forth a petition to have YSL Polo separated from the rest of the YSL RICO trial due to his erratic behavior.
In a viral video posted on Saturday (September 2), but which took place before Judge Ural Garrett on Thursday (August 30), Steel can be seen looking perplexed as Polo (real name Cordarius Dorsey) jerks his head and arms around violently.

Steel’s motion before the court requested Polo’s severance to ensure Thugga continues to receive a fair trial, for which Judge Garrett agreed.

“Jeffery Williams, by and through undersigned counsel, hereby files this motion to Sever Parties in the above-referenced case,” read Steel’s motion. “In support of this Motion, Mr. Williams shows as follows. Mr. Williams is innocent of all charges in the above-referenced indictment. Mr. Dorsey, a co-indictee, has displayed unprofessional and unacceptable conduct in Court, in the presence of this Honorable Court, as announced on the Record on Thursday, August 31, 2023.”
It continues: “Based upon information and belief, during a separate trial, Mr. Dorsey, using movements with his hands, threatened the prosecutors as well as the jurors. Mr. Williams has filed a Demand for Speedy Trial and will not upset that Demand for Speedy Trial. However, Mr. Williams asks this Honorable Court to exercise its discretion and sever Mr. Dorsey so that Mr. Williams’ Constitutional right to a fair trial is not prejudiced.”
YSL Polo’s erratic behavior is just the latest twist in the ongoing YSL RICO case, which continues to make headlines for its wild turns, despite only being in the discovery phase of the trial.

Last week, it was announced that jury selection would continue to be delayed until the conclusion of YSL Polo’s murder trial, which is separate from the impending YSL RICO trial.
While Young Thug has remained in jail since being arrested in May 2022 and denied bond four times, he’s still optimistic when it comes to his chances of ultimately regaining his freedom.

A text conversation between Thug’s nephew and the YSL honcho was also shared last week. While Young Thug’s nephew misses having the guidance of his uncle, Thugger assured B Slime he’d be home soon.
“LY2 Peter u good,” Thug asked.
“Yes, Unc I really Miss You Brah AINT Nan Like When U Hea I Miss having Fun I miss Listening To Everything U Tell Me I Miss Waking Up Knowing we Together .. I’m Continuing To Record n Do Watt I Gotta Do Just Need You Hea,” B Slime replied.
The So Much Fun rapper then confidently stated they’d be reunited in the future: “Im otw jack thats ongod.”
