SUMMARY: Two codefendants in the YSL RICO trial, Yak Gotti (Damonte Kendrick) and Shannon Stillwell, appeared in court. Kendrick sought emergency bond related to charges from a jail fight and contraband incidents while Stillwell accepted a plea deal, pleading no contest to gang-related charges, for which he received time served and 12 years of probation. Kendrick’s bond request faced opposition from the District Attorney, citing safety concerns and gang involvement. The judge delayed the bond decision due to an outstanding warrant. Stillwell is expected to be released soon and banned from Atlanta for five years.

Two YSL defendants — Deamonte Kendrick and Shannon Stillwell — appeared in Fulton County courtrooms on Tuesdays morning. They were both seeking release from jail. Stillwell should be released soon.

SUMMARY: Georgia’s regulatory code has expanded by at least 13% annually since 1965, creating burdens for businesses. Gov. Brian Kemp, focusing on reducing red tape, established the Georgians First Commission to address this issue. A report revealed over 18,000 regulations, with more than half needing review. Some regulations, while safety-oriented, lead to economic costs for businesses and consumers. Challenges like county ordinances, fees, and delays affect new businesses. Kemp’s administration and Lt. Gov. Burt Jones have pushed for regulation cuts, including the “Red Tape Rollback” and a bill to eliminate outdated boards, though not all proposals have passed.
