The YSL defense lawyer who was facing a bevy of contempt charges and potential jail time has gotten off the hook thanks to some strip club chicken wings.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Suri Chadha Jimenez faced the charges after showing up late to court on Tuesday (May 9). This didn’t go over well with Judge Ural Glanville, who ordered that Jimenez buy lunch for the other lawyers on the case as punishment for the snafu — a rule that Judge Glanville has had in place since the trial began.

Judge Glanville suggested that Jimenez drop some change at the nearby sub shop, but the YSL lawyer had other plans.
Jimenez told the judge that though Magic City — a landmark strip club in Atlanta made famous in songs by the likes of Drake and Future — didn’t open its kitchen until 3:00 pm ET, he could “pull some strings” and get some wings for everyone on the team.

“They made a chef come in early, cook all the delicious wings for us,” Jimenez said, while adding that everyone enjoyed several helpings of the lemon pepper wings and the Magic City brand wings.
“They were hot and ready for me to pick up at the time they told me. They made it happen so I was very happy. I like to support local businesses, I like to support minority employers. I’ve been there many times to show my support for the local community.”
This latest headline-grabbing incident is just the latest wild turn of events in the YSL RICO case that has seen everything from Young Thug being rushed to the hospital after falling ill in court to jurors being held in contempt for calling the judge a bitch.
On Monday (May 8), a co-defendant had his case severed from the others after his schizophrenia diagnosis was revealed.

Jayden Myrick (also known as SetTrip or JayMan) will be tried separately from his fellow YSL defendants.
The decision was made by Fulton County Judge Ural Glanville following an evaluation of Myrick’s mental health and an admission from the alleged YSL member that he hasn’t taken his psychiatric medication since December.
Myrick previously told the court in April that he wished to represent himself in the trial and claimed to have been receiving legal advice from President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
“I’m not the regular inmate. I be with Joe Biden and Donald Trump and they be talking to me,” Myrick said at the time. “Donald Trump is going to get me out.”

While handing down his ruling, Glanville said: “I think severance would be appropriate at this point in time.”
