Legal expert analyzes Young Thug gang charges | 'They may have gone a step too far'

Attorney Page Pate spoke to 11Alive about the indictment against Young Thug.

The popular rapper Young Thug was arrested in Atlanta on Monday, and faces a slew of accusations from Fulton County's district attorney, including that he was allegedly a founder and active leader of the violent Young Slime Life street gang.

The 80-plus page indictment charges both Young Thug and another rapper, Gunna, with gang-related crimes, and includes more than 25 others who have allegedly participated in YSL gang activity.

Attorneys for Young Thug have called the charges against Young Thug "baseless."
