Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm not going to lie to you. The famous phrase is, you're innocent until proven guilty. So Y&W. Melly is currently heading back to court on first degree murder charges after being faced with a retrial on the first charge. So the first time they tried to convict him on first degree murder charges. It ended in the result. of a retrial, which is based off the the alleged
Starting point is 00:00:38 event of him killing two people in 2018. What else? It said it y'all gonna laugh at me. It's hard for me to say this word. The jurors? Yeah, I can't say it. I'm so sorry. Yeah, I can't
Starting point is 00:00:58 that. That word needs to be a ban for my list. I can't say that. That's too many ours man like when i was growing up the mars is giving me the mars is giving me trouble so i can't say that way so let's just say the people in the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict following two days of deliberations they also said that um who is demons is that's name oh yeah okay bro why n w melly's real name real last name is demons boy all right man yeah I know what I'm thinking but I ain't gonna say it all right anyways so Y and W. Melly had pleaded guilty
Starting point is 00:01:44 have pleaded not guilty my fault to two counts of first degree murder for killings of fellow rappers Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas I even know that was rappers and he faced a death penalty if convicted now a lot of my friends was asking me why in the world do people or people keep saying that Y and W Mell is gonna get off it's because of of stuff like this it ended in the result of a retrial but that doesn't mean that he's innocent honestly if he was even close to being innocent they would have let him out on barn because he's been in jail this whole time waiting for his conviction also he's been to jail at least seven to eight times in the
Starting point is 00:02:22 past so it's not like this is his first time ever like they're not going to let him out regardless they literally try to give him the death penalty so yeah he's not getting out on barn like even though People was celebrating him in this trial, the first trial, ending in the retrial, it's still not a win because he's still in jail and he's not getting out on bond. He's going to be retrial. He's going to be retried. So a lot of people who's on the bandwagon of Free Melly, I'm just going to pray for y'all, man.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I'm going to pray for y'all. But anyways, like the original saying said, or says, like I reiterated in the beginning. Well, I'm going to reiterate now, be innocent until proven guilty. Hey, man. Hey, I guess. But anyways, with the jury to jury, sorry, I'm trying my best, telling the judge on Friday that they've been unable to reach a decision, the judge ordered them to keep deliberating another day passed without a verdict, ultimately prompting the declaration of a mistrial. And so the prosecutors have claimed that Mellie conspired to kill Williams and Thomas with the co-defendant, Cortland Henry, who is being tried separately. authorities alleged that Melly
Starting point is 00:03:34 shot the two men inside a Jeep driven by Henry afterwards the car was allegedly driven to an area near somewhere I don't know and then Melly defense team however argued that the rapper had no motive to kill Williams
Starting point is 00:03:50 and Thomas and also they were described as Mellie's best friends Mellie's defense team has also highlighted the fact that a murder weapon was never ever recovered uh-uh-uh-uh
Starting point is 00:04:05 not a lie bro melly's lawyers like they're going to be notorious after this case because I getting that first case to result in a mistrial says something by itself and itself from uh Mellie's lawyers like I don't know what type
Starting point is 00:04:22 of lawyers he has but let's just say they're going to get some type of they're going to get all type of traffic after this case is done because it's like bro you got you you almost got him off of what because even Melly fans as serious as it is
Starting point is 00:04:37 just a cynical take on it of them laughing at the fact that he made a murder on my mind and how it was just like so fired because you know he may actually did it
Starting point is 00:04:45 I'm like these people need to be checked into a mental institution because ain't no way y'all think this is funny ain't no way bro anyways I ain't trying serious this out
