YNW Melly’s double-murder retrial in Broward County, Florida has been postponed yet again due to an unresolved appeal in district court, according to AllHipHop. The trial was finally going to go to court again on September 10, but that’s no longer the case. Instead, both sides will reconvene for a hearing on July 9th to discuss another possible retrial date.
Melly has been behind bars since his initial arrest in 2019. He stands accused of allegedly killing his former friends, YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser. He originally stood trial in 2023 after pleading not guilty, but the case ended in a mistrial. The jury failed to agree on a unanimous decision.
Earlier this month, Melly’s family showed up to support him at one of his hearings. “Never missed a court date,” his mother, Jamie Demons-King, captioned a picture of the family on Instagram, according to No Jumper. “We stand behind you 100% @ynwmelly I love you and God has you covered. Thank you @de.la.honey for the jacket.”
