YFN Lucci Will Be Able To Get A Haircut And New Clothes Before His Trial Begins

by

The start of YFN Lucci’s murder trial is approaching and he just got some good news in the lead-up. In a few weeks, it will have been three full years since Lucci was originally arrested and charged with murder. The story broke on January 14, 2021 and Lucci has been in custody ever since. Though he looks pretty different now than he did at the time, that will change before his trial gets underway.

As TMZ reports, Lucci has been granted access to some essentials that will help him look his best in time for trial. That starts with a professional haircut and shave likely in an attempt to reach as presentable a look as possible. It will be accompanied by some new clothes as he was also approved for a visit with a tailor. Lucci is clearly taking things seriously when it comes to looking his best for the upcoming trial. The case has major implications for him and crossover with the currently ongoing YSL trial where Young Thug remains a defendant.

YFN Lucci Granted Pre-Trial Clean-Up

News involving YFN Lucci’s trial has moved very slowly in the past few months. Most of the developments have come as a result of the YSL RICO case. Lyrics from Thug’s song “Bad Boy” were introduced in court with the prosecution claiming that they were in reference to violent acts involving Lucci. Thug’s defense had to do their best to recontextualize the connection between him and Lucci.

As part of their defense, Young Thug’s legal team claimed that Lucci attached himself to Thugger for clout. They proposed that the connection doesn’t go any deeper than an attempt on Lucci’s part to forward his rap career. It’s one of many clarifications they’ve had to make about lyrics from various Thug songs in the trial. What do you think of the judge in YFN Lucci’s case allowing him access to professional grooming and a tailor in advance of his trial? Let us know in the comment section below.

YFN Lucci Rejects 20-Year Plea Deal In Favour Of RICO Trial

by

It seems YFN Lucci has no interest in enduring the same taunting that Gunna’s facing since accepting a plea deal. Earlier this week, reports surfaced claiming that the accused killer was offered a 20-year agreement (17 of those in jail). As TMZ reports, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will only sign off on the deal if Lucci agrees to plead guilty to felony murder, racketeering, aggravated assault, and violation of the street gang terrorism and prevention act.

Attorneys Drew Findling and Gabe Banks spoke with the outlet about Willis’ terms this weekend, calling them “absurd.” While representing their client – born
Rayshawn Bennett – the lawyers have apparently noticed the DA “intentionally dragging her feet.” Specifically, they noted that Lucci is still awaiting his trial after over two and a half years in police custody. Instead of putting her attention toward YSL and YFN, Fani is focusing her efforts on “newer, high-profile cases that have completely monopolized the Court’s resources.”

YFN Lucci is Headed to Trial

Elsewhere, Findling and Banks accused the Fulton County DA of having an “utter inability to prosecute complex cases.” While it sounds like they’ve got the odds stacked against them, Lucci’s lawyers sound confident in seeking justice for him. “Despite the obstacles consistently placed in the way of Mr. Bennett’s constitutional right to a speedy and fair trial, we continue to be ready and prepared to defend these false allegations,” they declared to TMZ.

In another report from earlier this week, it was alleged that several huge names in hip-hop will be called to the witness stand as Bennett’s case unfolds. Among them are Gunna, Lil Baby, and Young Thug, though the latter is highly unlikely to appear as his own legal proceedings are still playing out at this time. Do you think YFN Lucci will be able to make a clean break from his RICO trial? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for any updates from the ongoing case.
