Doug Weinstein’s Perspective on the Bizarre YSL Courtroom Drama
On today's episode of Jewish Time, host Jeff Silberblatt delves into the high-profile YSL Young Slime Life court case with criminal attorney Doug Weinstein, who represents Deamonte Kendrick, aka Yak Gotti. Doug offers an insider's perspective on the trial proceedings that have unfolded over the past two years. From the controversial involvement of Judge Granville to the unreliable testimony of Kenneth Copeland, aka Lil Woody, Doug provides a candid account of the challenges and intricacies of this prolonged trial. He also shares his thoughts on the skilled legal team involved and the stark contrasts between criminal and patent cases. Doug emphasizes that while this case has been undeniably bizarre, the reality is that defendants are sitting in Fulton County Jail every day, awaiting their fate in a place no one would want to be.

TAKEAWAYS
- Doug Weinstein knew that the state’s witness, Kenneth Copeland, aka Lil Woody, lied in 2015. Mr. Copeland feels there is a difference between being a snitch and finessing the police.
- When Judge Granville did not stop the trial when asked to recuse himself, the witness who continued to testify the following days gave testimony that the jury should not have heard.
- This trial has been so bizarre that it will surely be made into a movie.
