Young Dolph’s Partner Mia Jaye Calls Out The Justice System For Allegedly “Unfair” Murder Trial

by

Today, the late Young Dolph’s longtime partner Mia Jaye took to social media to air her frustrations with the justice system. The two men accused of killing the Memphis icon in November 2021, Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith Jr., are currently awaiting trial. They’re being held without bail. The trial was initially scheduled for March of this year but has since been pushed back twice. According to AllHipHop, it’s now expected to begin in September, though an official date has not yet been confirmed.

In a lengthy post on her Instagram Story, Mia explained that she and her family have been left to mourn the tragic loss of Young Dolph. Despite this, nobody has been held accountable for his death. “It is truly hurtful that my family was robbed of a future. My love’s life was taken… And to be left behind to see no one be held accountable in the [court] of law for the act… Is INS*NE,” she began.

Mia Jaye Vents About Young Dolph Murder Trial Amid Delays

“Our family has witnessed lenient bonds being granted, absurd requests for the defendants to get a venue motion, freedom, more time to create a stronger defense, witnessed songs made, defendants enjoying life while on H.A… All while our loved one is 6feet deep,” she continued. “Continuing to sit back and allowing people to PLAY in your face isn’t the process it is ignoring the process and giving room for any and everything wrong to happen, over looking accountability.”

Mia also added that the entire process has been nothing short of “disheartening, unfair, triggering and hurtful.” What do you think of Mia Jaye venting about the justice system?

YNW Melly’s Retrial Is Taking So Long For These Reasons

by

YNW Melly’s retrial has been on hold for around seven months now, leaving the 25-year-old rapper behind bars, waiting to learn his fate. He’s been in custody since February of 2019 when he was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He’s accused of killing two of his associates, YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser, and staging a drive-by shooting. If convicted, he faces life in prison or the death penalty. Melly was first tried last summer, but after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous decision, a Broward County judge declared a mistrial.

His retrial was then scheduled for October of 2023, but the case has only become more complicated since, resulting in numerous delays. When October came around, Melly and his co-defendant YNW Bortlen were charged with witness tampering, and the retrial was pushed back. Authorities accused them of working together to prevent Melly’s ex-girlfriend Mariah Hamilton from taking the stand in the first trial. In December, the retrial was delayed once again when Melly’s team asked for an extension to depose more than a dozen new witnesses.

Later that month, prosecutors appealed Judge John Murphy III’s ruling to toss out multiple pieces of evidence. These included the rapper’s phone records, emails, and social media posts. They insist that the evidence is crucial in proving Melly’s alleged guilt. Prosecutors are also fighting to use a 20-minute documentary about Melly’s rise to fame as evidence. Allegedly, he’s seen holding a weapon multiple times in the doc, which briefly mentions Juvy and Sakchaser’s deaths towards the end.

The appeal could take months to go through the appellate courts, making further delays likely. In April, Melly was relocated to a new facility for the first time since 2019 in preparation for his retrial. He was moved from the Broward County Jail to the Paul Rein Detention Facility in Pompano Beach, FL. What do you think of YNW Melly’s retrial seeing multiple delays?
