Brian Steel, the defense attorney representing rapper Young Thug in his ongoing RICO trial, has been found in contempt of court.

On Monday, Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Ural Glanville ordered the attorney to spend the next 10 weekends in jail.

Mr. Steel’s contempt arose from his refusal to disclose how he learned about a private meeting between Judge Glanville, prosecutors, and a prosecution witness.

Judge Glanville expressed grave concerns about the improper disclosure of this information to Mr. Steel. The judge repeatedly asked Mr. Steel to disclose how he obtained the details of the meeting, warning him of contempt charges if he refused.

Mr. Steel did not comply, leading to the contempt ruling.

Judge Glanville sentenced Mr. Steel to 20 days in the Fulton County Jail, to be served over the next 10 weekends, starting this Friday. Mr. Steel is required to report at 7 p.m. on Fridays and will be released at 7 p.m. on Sundays, with this schedule continuing until Aug. 18.
