FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The YSL RICO trial continued on Tuesday, with state witness Quindarrius Zachary, also known as Lil D, expressing concerns about his health.
"I don't feel well," Zachary told state prosecutor Adrianne Love when she asked him to stand for jurors.
"Still not (feeling well)," he told defense attorney Max Schardt.
Zachary, who is testifying under an immunity deal with the state, has sickle cell disease. He's spent the last two days telling the state he doesn't know or doesn't recall the answers to most of their questions.
That changed when defense attorney Max Schardt began questioning him on Tuesday.
"Let's be real. When you said, 'I don't know' and 'I don't recall' to some of those questions, that wasn't the truth, was it?" Schardt asked.
"No," Zachary said after a long pause.
"That wasn't the truth, was it?" Schardt reaffirmed.
"No," Zachary said again.
That testimony is just four days after he took an oath in court to tell the truth.
"Do you remember substantially less today than you did on Friday?" Love asked on Monday.
"Friday, I was probably on like five Percocet, 10 milligrams of morphine," Zachary replied. "I don't remember nothing."
While most witnesses aren't allowed to testify under the influence of drugs or alcohol, state prosecutors consulted with his doctor to ensure he could still take the stand.
They believe he's a critical witness in the ongoing YSL RICO trial involving the rapper Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, and several co-defendants.
The state ordered Zachary's arrest on Sept. 13 to ensure he'd testify in the case. After two days in the Fulton County Jail, Zachary's attorney said he was hospitalized for treatment of his sickle cell disease.
"He will not live, judge. I talked to the family, and in the last four months, he's been in and out of the hospital 10 times, " the attorney said on Sept. 16. "He's extremely sick. He will not survive."
The state released Zachary to home confinement until his testimony is over.
