YNW Melly Judge Blasts Prosecutors’ Request and Sets New Trial Date

YNW Melly, the rapper accused of killing his two childhood friends in 2018, is set to face retrial for double first-degree murder this September after his 2023 trial ended in a mistrial. Despite changes in both the prosecution and defense teams — and unresolved appeals about key evidence — the judge has denied the state's request for a delay. Melly, who has been jailed since 2019 and now also faces a witness tampering charge, could receive life in prison or the death penalty if convicted. Law&Crime’s Elizabeth Millner has the update in this lengthy case.
