YNW Melly Is On Trial For His Life
YNW Melly Is On Trial For His Life. It is not looking good for Jamell “YNW Melly” Demons. If convicted of murder, he may face life or the death penalty.
YNW Melly Is Being Charged With Double Murder
YNW Melly Is On Trial For His Life. In October of 2018, Demons was allegedly involved in a drive-by shooting. At the time he was not arrested.
Primarily because the evidence investigators had was not consistent with the story. However, later, the authorities found out there was no drive-by.
In fact, Demons and another man Cortlen Henry conspired to kill the two men. The victims Christopher Thomas Jr. and Anthony Williams were both parts of the Demons crew.
Apparently, Demons and Henry staged the event to look as though it was a drive-by. But Thomas Jr. and Williams were shot to death allegedly by Demons.
They were both driven by Demons and Henry to a local hospital around 4:35 a.m. Unfortunately, the two victims were dead on arrival, as reported by BBC.
Before Demons turned himself in he addressed his 1 million followers on Instagram. Demons told his fans there were “a lot of rumors and lies” about the shooting.
In other words, Demons wanted his fans to believe he was innocent. His attorney Bradford Cohen told the press the victims were childhood friends with Demons.
YNW Melly Trial Has Begun
Today, the trial where Demons is charged with two counts of murder in the first degree. Here is what Complex revealed about what we can expect. First, there will be jury selection.
Followed by testimony and depositions of authorities and possible witnesses. Although, there may not be any witnesses.
Especially because the alleged victims were killed in a remote deserted area. With that being said, jury selection may be long and arduous. Potential jurors must be “death qualified.”
In other words, the jurors selected must not be in opposition to capital punishment. Once that is determined the trial can begin with opening arguments from the defense and prosecution.
Be that is it may, YNW Melly is in for a long process. Clearly, he is facing some sort of prison sentence he is convicted. Sadly, YNW Melly’s career may be over.
