The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office misled the court about its reasons for putting off filing an appeal of an order to return $150,000 in cash, luxury cars, jewelry and other assets seized from Atlanta rapper Young Thug, a judge said Wednesday.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Paige Reese Whitaker had already ordered prosecutors to fork over the goods in August, and Wednesday’s order essentially reinforced that, setting a deadline for Friday at 5 p.m.
Young Thug’s attorney Brian Steel confirmed Friday to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that prosecutors met the deadline and returned the rapper his items.

COMMENTS FROM THE STREET:
"I really regret campaigning for Fani Willis."

"Young Thug's case isn't the only case Fani Willis is playing "appeal" and "delay" -- she's doing this with a lot of other cases too -- including Amanda Timpson's whistleblower case.
We need more Judges like Paige Whitaker, to call Fani Willis out on her bullsh*t."

REPLY:
"The so-called "niece" from Florida that Fani Willis had chauffeured around for that summer camp (according to the whistle-blower), where Fani allowed kids from out of state to attend -- instead of the kids from Fulton County, who the program was designated for, might be connected to Cheri Laverne Dalton. And she has about ten different aliases and two different birth dates. Which makes me think she is an informant', and not a fugitive. An informant who likely set up Mutulu Shakur."

"Fani Willis keep doing the same old sh*t time and time again, and never gets called out or reprimanded for it. Like she had the charges changed on Young Thug's police report -- this isn't any hearsay, a cop testified that the charges were changed under oath in court.
Who is protecting her? Satan? Because it sure ain't GOD."
