Quamarvious Nichols, one of the co-defendants in the extensive RICO trial alongside rapper Young Thug, accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty to conspiracy charges. After the plea, prosecutors dropped multiple serious charges, including murder. Nichols received a 20-year sentence but will serve only seven years in prison, with the remaining time under probation. The case has seen numerous delays since its jury selection began in January 2023, and continues against Young Thug and four others, generating scrutiny over the use of RICO laws in prosecuting hip-hop artists.
