What’s Next for Rapper YNW Melly After Double Murder Mistrial

YNW Melly’s double murder trial resulted in a mistrial Saturday when the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict after more than 14 hours of deliberations. The rapper, born Jamell Demons, remains accused of murdering two of his friends, YNW SakChaser and YNW Juvy, and staging the killings as a drive-by shooting. The Law&Crime Network’s Angenette Levy breaks down what’s next for Melly in the double murder case.

How are they gonna be able to select new jury members for this case who haven't been watching the trial online? This was arguably one of the most publicized trials

[realburnieberetta]

That jury ain’t wanna be there from the beginning

[LunnaJannah]

Killing childhood friends.
Kids today think its cool
And cant trust their friends.
The people praising him
Shame.
I wouldn't trust anyone kids.

The justice system in Florida alone is so terrible

[Itswilly_g]

A mistrail should be not guilty. If you cant without a doubt come to an agreement as a jury for a guilty verdict he should be free, period. Hes been in jail for 4, 5 years now, let that man go.

[atleastimgenuine]

I can’t believe it’s declared a mistrial after a few days. For a double homicide. Wow

[GasSquadUk]

Advertising pepper spray mid murder trial 👌🏾 ffs America 😂

[lafondawilliams]

He will snitch on himself in a song soon let him go 😂😂😂

[theblackgambit]

They didn’t deliberate long enough honestly. I know cases where it took weeks to come up with a verdict

[SaharaColeman]

Melly’s defense team better go ahead and do this before Bortlen’s case after his lawyer kept pointing the finger at him. B might switch up. 👀

[aboutmillions]

To me it seems the jurors went into deliberation with their minds already made up. They didnt even deliberate long enough to figure out what it was, which sounds like the industry could've hand picked them but thats just me. We've seen weirder things happen with celebs and hollywood stars.

UPDATE: it wasn’t all of them but one of them was for sure handpicked 🤷🏾‍♂️

[LuapSaint]

If melly comes home, it’ll be hard for bortlen too as well

[kingeddie]

What happens if they come to another mistrial when they do this all over again ??

[forbidden]

How they plan on finding jury members who havent heard anything at all about this within 90 days will be a challenge in itself

[jimmyjames]

Jughead yeah if you like looking at Jughead well somebody did it into mother's lost their sons as tragic and he don't look cool up there either 😔😡

[joeysgametime]

Is that his real last name. And didn't he say he has multiple personalities. Everyone knows he did it. Shame on Jury

[jameskook-gs]

Trevon martin killer should have been put to death. The parkland shooter should be under the jail until death and many more. In cases like these if the jury can't come up with a verdict then the judge should be allowed to convict

[Alejandro-mvlh]

He’s a rapper he’s free, if it were a civilian they’re be locked down

[jameskook-gs]

They should not even have a death penalty because there system is so misguided

[relaxingtonuniversity]

The crazy part is if this wasn’t online or recorded he would have been found guilty and you know it that’s why they have to hide it now. Sad
