In a dramatic twist in the ongoing Young Thug trial, a former Fulton County Sheriff’s Deputy finds herself in hot water over serious allegations. Kendra Bailey, once trusted to uphold the law, is now accused of crossing it by allegedly accepting bribes from inmates. Among those inmates is Marquavious “Qua” Huey, a codefendant in the high-profile YSL RICO case.
Bailey allegedly took $500 via Apple Pay from Malissa Huey, Qua’s mother, in exchange for smuggling contraband, including what appeared to be pills. This amount seemed enough to influence Bailey’s judgment, leading to her failure in seizing prohibited items from inmates.
The scandal deepens with claims that Bailey also received $1,000 from Qua’s sister. This payment was reportedly for allowing Qua access to restricted areas of the prison, potentially facilitating drug sales. Investigations reveal that Bailey may have accumulated at least $17,000 from various trades and bribes involving other inmates.
Security footage allegedly shows Bailey using a white styrofoam tray to secretly pass items to inmates, painting a grim picture of corruption within the prison system. However, these revelations do not currently implicate others in the Young Thug and YSL trial directly.
Meanwhile, the trial itself is breaking records for its length and number of mistrial motions, marking it as a historic case in Georgia. The implications of Bailey’s actions on the trial’s outcome remain uncertain, adding another layer of complexity to an already convoluted legal battle.
As this saga unfolds, it raises serious questions about integrity within the prison system and its impact on high-stakes legal proceedings. Whether these events will influence the YSL trial remains to be seen, but they undoubtedly add intrigue to a case already capturing public attention.
