We all know how popular it is to dramatically change the meaning of common words to try and fit a narrative, but even this is astonishingly bad.
Jeffery Williams, also known as Young Thug, is currently on trial for racketeering and gang conspiracy, and his lawyer whipped out one heck of a creative defense.

We ain't never seeing Jeffrey https://t.co/bRHtO47maL
It is a pretty fabulous case, based on this New York Times' description:
'Much about the case — which seeks to answer whether one of the most famous and influential rappers of his time was also spearheading a violent criminal enterprise — could be described as epic, including its scope, with alleged crimes from 2015 to 2022; its effect on rap music and the city that remains one of the genre’s centers for innovation; and its entanglement with the potential legal fate of former President Donald J. Trump.'
With a case that high profile, you gotta take some risks.
now THAT’s lawyering lmao https://t.co/88X4ohuZZZ

Let's hope the jury is in a good mood.
