Young Dolph Murder Trial Gets New Start Date

by

Young Dolph’s murder trial has unfortunately faced various delays on the path to justice. But it seems like things might change soon. Moreover, according to new reports, the court rescheduled the previous start date of today (Monday, June 3) to September 23. His alleged killers Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith will face trial. However, it’s unclear if this new trial will also settle the case of the alleged perpetrator Hernandez Govan. He’s currently out on bond providing for his family and on house arrest. Govan risked endangering these conditions by conducting an interview on YouTube during his time at home.

Elsewhere, Young Dolph’s partner Mia Jaye had blasted the courts system for this delay and spoke to her frustration with what she sees as a lack of accountability in this legal case. “It is truly hurtful that my family was robbed of a future,” she expressed. “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 INSANE….

Young Dolph’s Alleged Killers Learn Of Their New Trial Date

“Our family has witnessed lenient bonds being granted, absurd requests approved for the defendants to get a [change of] venue motion, freedom, more time to build a stronger defense… witnessed songs be made, defendants enjoying life while on [house arrest]… all while our loved one is 6feet deep, waiting for JUSTICE to be served… talk about disheartening, unfair, triggering and hurtful,” Young Dolph’s loved one continued. “For everyone who is like ‘trust the process’ our family has for 3 years, but the process & system is BROKEN (which is evident across ALL of Black America LBH… check the stats) and continuing to sit back allowing people to PLAY in your face isn’t trusting the process it is ignoring the process and giving room for any and everything wrong to happen, overlooking ACCOUNTABILITY.

“this case is not apart of ENTERTAINMENT which it can be easily mistaken for given Dolph’s nature of business…” Mia Jaye concluded. “Dolph was just as human as anyone else, his life meant so much to so many, he was and still is so SPECIAL and he DESERVES to rest in peace receiving the JUSTICE he rightfully DESERVES… #JusticeForYoungDolph.”

YNW Melly Retrial Start Date Revealed, Judge Wants “Urgency”

by

The retrial for YNW Melly’s double murder case faced numerous delays since the original trial’s conclusion in a mistrial in July 2023. However, according to new reports from journalist Bryson “Boom” Paul, Judge John Murphy III believes that they must nor fret any further, Moreover, he declared that jury selection in the rapper’s retrial will begin on March 5 “or as soon thereafter as this [case] may be heard,” according to new court documents. For those unaware, Melly stands accused of murdering his colleages YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser in October of 2018. Authorities arrested him in February of 2019.

Furthermore, this follows recent reports on what prosecutors submitted and prepared for this upcoming process. It will be very interesting to see if they changed their tactics at all, or if they will simply reiterate their original arguments. Regardless, they named dozens of YNW Melly’s songs as evidence, which became as controversial as any other instance of hip-hop lyrics as court material. In addition, the impetus for this start date, according to these documents, the Florida MC “has been in custody for more than 750 days while awaiting trial.”

YNW Melly’s Retrial Will Begin On March 5: Report

From what Paul reported, Judge Murphy “expressed urgency in getting the retrial underway” in a Friday hearing (January 12). Not only that, but additional pre-trial hearing will, if accordant with the established schedule, take place this week on Thursday and Friday (January 18 and 19). This is to resolve anticipated or emergent situations ahead of jury selection to make YNW Melly’s retrial as speedy and competent as possible. At press time, no indication came up regarding whether these will be the only pre-trial hearings, or if we can expect any in February. As such, the “No Belt” artist is patiently waiting to see if any other complications surge.

Meanwhile, other recent developments in this case involve Fredo Bang reflecting on his relationship with the suspect. He is also a key player in these proceedings, as he faced accusations of transporting Melly after the alleged murder. Apparently, they have not spoken since 2022.
