Atlanta DA Warns Rappers To Stop Confessing To Crimes With Lyrics
ABL ^ | Anthony Brian Logan

Posted on 08/30/2022 3:22:41 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

The Fulton County (Atlanta) District Attorney Fani Willis issued a warning to rappers about confessing to crimes through lyrics in songs.

Her remarks came during a press conference announcing the indictment of the “Drug Rich Gang”. This gang originates from DeKalb County but committed a lot of crimes in Fulton County where Willis has jurisdiction.

The gang is accused of targeting celebrities and social media influencers who flaunt expensive items online. Household names like Mariah Carey have been targeted.

The gang is accused of committing violent crimes like home invasions, armed robberies, and kidnapping.

Willis has been the target of endless hateful comments online. Most of the negative comments started when she announced the indictments of popular rappers Young Thug and Gunna as well as their gang/record label “YSL”.

Hardcore fans of the rap collective accuse Willis of targeting rappers and denying them artistic leeway. A bill has been drafted in the US House Of Representatives called the “RAP ACT” that would prevent lyrics from being used against rappers.

Willis responded to a question about this ongoing controversy of rappers being “targeted” by her office. Her response, in a nutshell, was simple advice. She advised that rappers stop confessing to crimes in their songs if they don’t want these songs to be used against them in a court of law

“I love Fani Willis. she is the nation’s most bad ass DA. She is a pit bull and very passionate about catching and locking up criminals. You can see her heart is in it and she enjoy putting criminals in jail, especially violent criminals.”

Or with political enemies like Trump.

This is small talk. Trump is the big fish.

An Atlanta judge says he will ensure a report from the special grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia won’t be an “October surprise.”

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, in a hearing Thursday, also criticized District Attorney Fani Willis for hosting a fundraiser for a Democratic candidate running against one of the investigation’s potential targets.

“It’s a ‘What are you thinking?’ moment,” McBurney said. “The optics are horrific.”

Her heart is into politics. Her main focus is getting Trump and helping democratic politicians,

hat’s OK...California has proposed a bill that would OUTLAW CONFESSIONS in lyrics to be used in court.

And if I’m not mistaken, Krasner in Philly, let a rapper walk after he killed a guy and then rapped about it in one of his songs.
