YNW Melly’s Lawyer Finally Gets A Win Ahead Of His Double Murder Retrial

by

YNW Melly’s attorney, Raven Liberty, has finally gotten a judge to agree to address 20 motions in the rapper’s retrial for an alleged double murder. As caught by NBC 6 South Florida, a status hearing in the case was held in court on Tuesday. Liberty used the opportunity to complain about the “plethora of motions” that she has been unsuccessfully trying to set hearings for over the last several months.

“I made several attempts to schedule the close to, I think, 15-20 motions that are still outstanding. We could not get state to agree with any dates and your office then told us not to contact them unless the state agrees to dates,” Liberty told the judge. The prosecution added that they’ve been getting confused by which motions are for which cases, to which Liberty added: “I don’t think there’s any motion that I have filed that date goes past May. It’s October. They’ve had time to respond.”

In response, the judge told both sides, “I’ll give you dates and then whatever motions the defense wants me to hear, just file a notice of hearing… likewise state, if you have anything you want me to hear, you can file a notice of hearing for the same date and time and say this is the motions that you want me to hear. And I’ll hear them.” From there, both parties agreed to hearings on January 6th and 7th to address all of the motions.

The update comes after the judge set Melly’s new trial date for September 10, 2025, earlier this year. His first double murder trial ended in a mistrial, last year. He’s been behind bars since 2019. Be on the lookout for further updates on YNW Melly on HotNewHipHop.
