Overview
- Pooh Shiesty remains in federal custody with his trial scheduled for February 22, 2027 and a judge recently denied his latest bid for pretrial release.
- Late-June court filings included still images from studio surveillance and screenshots prosecutors say come from a phone video that co-defendant Big30 recorded at Shiesty’s request.
- Prosecutors submitted the text of an alleged contract they say was printed hours before the encounter and forced on Gucci Mane to end Shiesty’s 1017 Records deal and transfer masters and approval rights.
- Officials argued Shiesty poses a public-safety risk by alleging prior shootings, asserted leadership of a roughly 100-member Memphis street gang, and presented a victim letter asking that he be held without bond.
- Defense lawyers point out missing physical exhibits and chain-of-custody gaps, while prosecutors say a Volunteers of America supervisor granted unauthorized day passes and was fired, developments that could affect bond rulings and trial evidence disputes.
