After nearly a year of testimony, jurors in Atlanta are deliberating the fate of Shannon Stillwell and Deamonte Kendrick, who face multiple charges including gang-related murder linked to the Young Slime Life gang, co-founded by rapper Young Thug. The trial has faced delays and controversies, with several defendants, including Young Thug, accepting plea deals.

Deliberations are expected to resume shortly after the Thanksgiving break.
