Closer Look with Rose Scott

Latest on Young Thug RICO trial; Sandersville Railroad Pres. discusses controversial rail spur; Meta sued over reported addictive features on kids


Listen Later

After several defendants took plea deals, the RICO trial for Grammy award-winning rapper Young Thug and five others is underway in Atlanta. Defense attorney David West returns to “Closer Look” to discuss the case, including possible privacy concerns after the faces of jurors were exposed during a live video stream.

Plus, at least 18 Sparta property owners in Hancock County could be impacted if their land is taken by eminent domain for the construction of a rail spur. A hearing was held last week to determine if Sandersville Railroad can legally condemn property to build a 4.5-mile rail line. Rose talks with Ben Tarbutton, the president of Sandersville Railroad.

Lastly, Attorney General Chris Carr and fellow AG’s from dozens of states and D.C., are suing Meta, claiming that features on Instagram and Facebook are addictive and are intentionally targeting kids and teens without their parents’ consent. David Schweidel, a professor of marketing at Emory's Goizeuta Business School, discusses the latest in the case.
