In latest twist in Young Thug trial, rap star's co-defendant agrees to plea deal

A co-defendant in the racketeering and gun conspiracy case against Atlanta rapper Young Thug accepted a plea deal Tuesday after days of speculation over whether Georgia's longest-running criminal trial may end in a mistrial. 

Quamarvious Nichols, 29, changed his plea to guilty for conspiracy to violate Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, statute. In exchange, Fulton County prosecutors agreed to dismiss all other charges against him, including for murder, participation in gang activity and illegal firearms possession.

Superior Court Judge Paige Whitaker accepted the plea and a negotiated sentence of 20 years in prison but noted he would only have to serve seven years with probation, including credit for time served.

St. Louis police on Monday released a detailed report about a 2022 school shooting that left a student and teacher dead, publicly revealing for the first time the gunman’s struggle with his mental health and hospitalizations over suicide attempts. 

The 456-page document also outlines concerns raised by Orlando Harris’ family and their attempts to get help.

Tanya Ward, the 19-year-old gunman's mother, told agents that during his first two years at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School things seemed “normal.” Everything changed after the Covid pandemic, the report states, noting that Harris’ “heart wasn’t in it anymore after he went back to school after being out of school for an entire year.”
