Closing arguments begin in Georgia’s longest-running trial
SUMMARY: Closing arguments have begun in Georgia’s longest criminal trial, where the jury will decide the fate of the last two defendants in the YSL RICO case, Shannon Stillwell and Damonte Kendrick. Both face charges including murder and RICO violations, which could lead to life imprisonment. The trial started nearly a year ago, with the state resting its case last week. The defense presented no evidence, leaving the state to argue the defendants violated RICO by conspiring for financial gain and engaging in racketeering. The defense will present their arguments after the state concludes. The trial is streamed live on 11Alive.
In the closing moments of the YSL RICO trial, the jurors are being left with a lot to consider.
