A Fulton County jury has reached a verdict for two defendants who did not take plea deals in the Young Slime Life trial.

The jury found Deamonte Kendrick, who raps as Yak Gotti, not guilty on all charges. The jury found Shannon Stillwell guilty on only one charge for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Stillwell was sentenced to the 10-year maximum with credit for the two years he already served. The balance will be served on probation.

The jury received the case last week and finished their deliberations on Tuesday.

The trial was the longest criminal trial in Georgia history. It took 10 months alone just to select the jury and testimony didn’t begin until a year ago in Nov. 2023. There was also a delay when Stillwell was stabbed inside the Fulton County Jail.
