Rapper YNW Melly, born Jamell Demons, faces trial for allegedly killing two of his friends in October 2018 and staging the murders to look like a drive-by shooting. Opening statements presented Monday outlined why authorities believe 24-year-old Demons, and his co-defendant Cortlen Henry, aka YNW Bortlen, killed aspiring Florida rappers Christopher Thomas Jr., aka YNW Juvy, and Anthony Williams, aka YNW Sakchaser. The Law&Crime Network’s Angenette Levy breaks down six shocking moments from day one of the double murder trial with SiriusXM host Mina ‘SayWhat’ Llona.

IF HE GET OFF GET READY FOR A NEW SONG YALL THE NAME OF
Get him out
Rest in peace sackchasser and juvi my condolences Gos to they family's we need justice for sackchasser and juvi
I just don’t understand why he was shoot his best friends why they’re in the car
Let him out ðŸ˜ÂðŸ™Â
What some ppl don’t understand that if a gun was shot within the car it would have been possible for a ricochet. Yet I have not heard anything like that happening. Also if he shot them from the backseat how did the one in the backseat with him get shot in the back of the head. Sorry but I don’t believe that melly did the shooting. At least their evidence does not show it. Maybe that’s why he was not found guilty the first time & now being retried.
ðŸ¤â€
LoL ynw mellly what did you get your self in to
Seems like he and his boy shot they friends in the car like lil bishes
His music is trash anyway
This jury system in America is really the worst! Something like that comes out of it..!! Only trained judges should decide. But Dully has been punished enough. He can't have that much stolen money to pay his lawyers etc.. Sooner or later he'll go to jail forever..!!
If your a melly fan like this comment
Just his behavior after the murders showed he was guilty. Add his admission of I did that, the cell phone tracking data and the video of him getting into the backseat should have made a unanimous guilty verdict. Apparently, one or more members of this jury were either bought or didn't want him to be convicted.
Some of the angles maybe were the same trajectory to where he was sitting before swapping the body’s to the back seat and turning him self in a real Hannibal lecture intelligence but that at anything
hi thomas
Murder in my mind
Beat up the tables now use crazy 🤪 jeastures smile laugh 😆All that craziness you been doing 🤣
i did it shhhhhhhhhhh🤫
There were two vehicles so no duh. They sloppily staged it all and thats when he jumped in the other vehicle and the cell gps should show it.
Mellys worse enemy is the forensic investigators and detectives so I wouldnt be surprised if he starts acting weird when they get on the stand.
If you dont think he did this atrocious act then you're silly or have not been keeping up with this from the beginning when it happened. Hes a murdering punk coward.
Mina hoping to get melly on her radio station. He did that period. It's so obvious with all the trajectories, cell data, locations, staging of the drive by, casing in the floorboard and other stuff it makes you think none of it was planned until they got in the vehicle so it was shortly thought out, cold, callus and ignorantly executed upon with pun intended. Killed two of your so-called pals? Little demon wanting clout for his evil music image because murder was and had been on his mind, what a demented coward. I hope he gets the death penalty because it's about the best justice that could be had even though theres no true justice when you cant bring someone back but also melly would atleast see it coming and get a undeserved change to repent and try to make peace with the Almighty through HIS Son the LORD JESUS. Condolences to each family in mourning.
If Nelly killed them wouldn’t they have bullies in the back of the head if he was in the backseat ??
I'm uss
