ATLANTA—After almost a year of testimony in a sweeping gang and racketeering indictment against Young Thug and an initial 27 defendants, prosecutors rested their case Tuesday in the longest trial in Georgia’s history.

Both Deamonte Kendrick, also known as Yak Gotti, and Shannon Stillwell told the judge Tuesday they would not testify in their own defense. Both earlier rejected plea offers after over a week of negotiation.
