The updates from YNW Melly’s double murder trial have been coming out fast and furious since things began in Broward County on Monday (June 12). Aside from the interesting testimony, viral moments have included Boosie Badazz’s presence in the courtroom (though he was arrested on unknown federal charges on Wednesday), as well as Melly’s attorney’s questionable notebook. The accused killer himself got the internet talking after he appeared to both cry and pray. Elsewhere, a family member of one of the victims actually walked out when the “Murder On My Mind” artist blew a kiss.
On Thursday (June 15), the prosecution called Melly’s ex-girlfriend’s mother to the stand. During her testimony, the woman made it abundantly clear that she wasn’t feeling entirely comfortable speaking about the incident, but doesn’t want to lie on the stand and go to jail as a result. “I’m saying what you want me to say,” the witness stated earlier this afternoon. “I do remember that they bullied me and threatened my daughter,” she specifically noted of the law enforcement they dealt with after the murders of YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser.

When asked how she was feeling on the stand, Melly’s ex’s mother replied, “Not good… I feel threatened.” Upon spotting the Florida-born rapper in the courtroom she smiled at him, according to Twitter reports from correspondent Cathy Russon. “To be clear… She doesn’t want to be there testifying for the State,” the journalist added in another post while covering today’s proceedings.
Elsewhere in the news, celebrity attorney Bradford Cohen (who was previously representing YNW Melly in the ongoing murder trial) shared his thoughts on the case so far. At this time, he believes the defense is doing a great job on the 23-year-old’s behalf, and we may even see him beat the charges.
