YSL defendant Shannon Stillwell was stabbed in the Fulton County jail earlier this week

He survived the attack and is now in the hospital.

Stillwell was one of the YSLs who didn't take a plea deal in Fulton County's sprawling RICO case against the rap crew/street gang.

He is currently on trial with seven others, including Young Thug.

Because of Stillwell's condition, the trial will be on recess until at least January 2.

It was already the longest trial in the history of Georgia.
