YNW Melly Case Ends in Mistrial

After over a month of testimony and evidence, the jury failed to come to a unanimous decision as to whether the "Murder on My Mind" rapper is innocent or guilty following two days of jury deliberations. Now, the rapper, who is accused of killing his friends YNW Juvy (Christopher Thomas) and YNW Sakchaser (Anthony Williams) back in October of 2018, will have to go through it all over again with a different jury.

YNW Melly is facing serious consequences. If found guilty by a unanimous decision, jurors will then decide whether he should be sentenced to death. In order for that to happen, a majority vote of 8-4 is needed. If not, Melly will be sentenced to life in prison.
