That’s a total of 20 days.

This comes after Steel was taken into custody after he refused the judge’s request to answer how he heard about a “secret” meeting between prosecutors, the judge, and a key witness in the YSL trial, Kenneth Copeland, Monday morning.

Judge Glanville gave Steel five minutes to disclose the source of information about the meeting.

He did not budge.
