In a quick update to my recent post on Young Thug's indictment, the
New York State Senate has just passed State Senators Hoylman and
Bailey's "Rap Music on Trial" legislation. The
bill, which will now be delivered to Governor Kathy Hochul, bans
the use of lyrics or other creative expression by a defendant from
being used as evidence against them in a criminal trial absent
clear and convincing proof of a nexus to the facts of the
case.
