ATLANTA (AP) — A lawyer for one of two men who was indicted along with rapper Young Thug and is awaiting a jury verdict said his client was stabbed in jail. Attorney Doug Weinstein confirmed that his client, Deamonte Kendrick, who raps as Yak Gotti, was stabbed Sunday. Kendrick appeared in court Monday, when jurors returned to continue deliberating whether to convict him and Shannon Stillwell on gang, murder, drug and gun charges. The two were among 28 people indicted along with Young Thug in May 2022 on charges including a racketeering conspiracy charge.
