Attorneys representing YNW Melly, born Jamell Demons, have used every opportunity they can to shift the focus of the deadly shooting to Cortlen Henry, aka YNW Bortlen. During opening statements, Melly’s lawyer concentrated on Bortlen’s involvement in driving the bodies of Christopher Thomas Jr., aka YNW Juvy, and Anthony Williams, aka YNW Sakchaser, to the hospital. On Thursday, Melly’s lawyer probed a forensic scientist on the investigation into gunshot residue on Bortlen, which was never found. The Law&Crime Daily team breaks it down.

THE SAD PART ABOUT THIS CASE IS THERE IS NO WAY THEY ARE GOING TO PROVE FIRST DEGREE MURDER ITS TO MUCH REASONABLE DOUBT THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH SECOND DEGREE MURDER AT LEAST HE WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME TIME MY HEART GO OUT TO THE FAMILIES THE DAY THE NOT GUILTY VERDICT IS READ 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Cortlen in Melly’s spirit shot .
Melly is accused but he ain’t guilty though ðŸ˜Å
But why tho? Why would Melly shoot his friends? If he wanted to kill them why would he do it this way? I understand theres evidence stacked against him but it doesn't make sense to me from what ive seen or i just havent seen it all.
Ethier way this mf shady af. Throw him back in the bin where he belongs. These were supposedly his “ best friends†even if he didn’t pull the trigger he knows something regardless. You’d think if it was your best friends and you knew something you’d tell them everything you know. Rip to the ones lost and my prayers are with the families! Let that boy rot
What if bortlen shot sak and melly shot juvy
How bad would all of you feel if he really DIDN’T kill his friends. The jury is already hung…
A page out of the Tekashi 69 playbook. The Melly team selling out his Celly. They treat there homeboys really bad. So basically Mellys lawyer tells on Bortland so Melly doesn't have to.
I think bortlen was trying to kill them all but melly escaped it. So bortlen drove them to the hospital to make it look like it was melly who did it 🤷ðŸÂ½â€Â♂ï¸Â
In shooting cases, don’t they process everyone for GSR?
who ever did it thought they was a genius
I like how they're doing Cortland Henry's trial after they see what happens to melly usually you'd be in the same courtroom and he'd be the codefendant
Lets be real hes prolly gonna walk. But lets just pray juvy father do what he supposed too when that time comes!!
Evidence is key…No evidence no case 🤦ðŸÂ¿â€Â♂ï¸Â
Melly snitching may snitch on bolten ..bolten pose to take stand
Is this not equal to ðŸÂۉ۪N?
Let melly be
📌 Everyone who is stating how evil Melly is for doing … to his friends. Uhm, didn’t they supposedly threaten his Mom?!
That female lawyer always whispering during examinations. To me it looks so disrespectful. She gimme that shady vibe.
Melly innocent there is more evidance on Bortlen den melly
What if was a drive by fr
I know what happened on that night but I’m not going to say
The guns are fake he even said it on his live years ago cause someone said “are those guns in your music video fake.†And melly said “they all are†so thoses guns don’t count and so what every music and rappers have to have cash cause their famous or either rich some of these people are making accuses to keep him locked up 🤦ðŸÂ¾â€Â♀︠free my man ðŸ™ÂðŸÂ¾
Moderate social media following?? If its so "moderate" why are you d bags even wasting time on this trial? Dummmasssss
Ynw Melly knows that his lawyer puttin it on borten with is snitching â—ï¸Ââ—ï¸Â
every time i see melly he looks like pennywise ha-ha!! and now his defense is trying to blame it on his friend. is that snitching ??
Your lawyers work for you! If it was me, I would stop my lawyers from tryna put it on my man bcuz if Melly allow that then he's dry snitching through his lawyer
I don't kno but in my eyes i think his boy did it if you think 🤆melly got the money and he told bortlen what to do bortlen probably was thinking he will see more 💰
Bortlen realest g out thereâ¤
Goofys that is not snitching at all if they have no evidence, and both defense side suggest the other side did it , it makes the prosucter looks even supidy, this is. Chess not checkers
That’s a good judge
Rat
Cortlen better drop that dime and get his time cut look like melly bout to send him up the road ðŸ¤â€
This sick f*** is trying to through his buddy under the bus after killing his other 2 buddies
This prosecutor needs to resign
But did he do it?
There such thing as a school for jury it's called jury duty
so if melly n his lawyers are saying the other guy who is alive n the car is the shooter but you not saying he held melly at gun point to be apart of it plus if melly didnt report anything hes apart of it y is there a trial when if its regular people they would have been charged n under the prison without press
Free YNW Melly.
Ynw melly trying to save his own A** by throwing his co-defendant Ynw bortlen under the bus.
What if Bortlen is the one that went nuts, melly freaked out and jumped out the car. Sent a ping for help…
I don't know. Anythings possible.
HE DID IT!!
Melly SHOT THEM…
It was j green
I think the jury will be stuck on the fact that melly seems unaffected by these deaths since the day they happened. Might push him to testify.
Lol hes gonna beat this case
They cant charge bortlen off melly trial this is not throwin him under the bus. If they cant prove melly guilty they def cant prove cortlen guilty
