Read about key takeaways from day two of YNW Melly’s double murder trial: https://bit.ly/45WAYrX
This was the most boring opening statement I’ve ever heard in my life. I hope it doesn’t sway the jury to vote not guilty.
The detective was already a star long before Melly was born.
What tf is she saying around 2:22..my whole floor is what??
The states attorneys are weak. Their case and the way they've gone about trying to make it stick sucks. They've bored this jury to tears, only takes one person to have doubt. I think he walks.
Where’s the playlist for the trial?
Prosecutor needs props she did a great job while the defense just played ignorant, now let’s just see what the jury thinks😮
they are still trying to figure out if melly shot his friends
"Makes no sense to kill his friends" but does make sense killing them for money tho
Did she utter a coding context metaphor. Interesting
Why should I care? He 86d his homies or not, buys into narrative some people don’t need guns.
I’m not going to lie if melly said he got shot at and before he was saying he wasn’t even in the car it’s a wrap
Anybody know the name of the lady sitting next to melly??
Forensic evidence will be able to tell the story.
Repent and seek Christ everyone. 🫶ðŸÂ½
Her only evidence was the message??? He could’ve been talking about anything.
Drive by shooting 2 people on the right side of the car gets shot and killed but the two people on the left side comes out unscathed and one spent casing was found inside of the car.. Hmmm something is fishy ðŸÂŸ
bro if he killed two men he wouldn’t be laughing in his court because he’d be knowing he would get death penalty
Im on Mellys side even if he is guilty
The defense attorney spoke much stronger and with better words and detail than the prosecutor
