Rapper YNW Melly’s case has been declared a mistrial by a South Florida judge.
The decision comes after a jury could not come to a unanimous decision. According to reports, Melly is being a accused of double murder of two of his YNW associates, Juvy and SakChaser. His defense insists the men were killed in a drive-by shooting, but investigators have brought forth evidence that appears to suggest otherwise. “We are still unable to reach a unanimous decision,” the jury wrote to Broward Circuit Court Judge John Murphy.
A mistrial doesn’t in fact mean Melly is a free man- yet, the defendant is not convicted, but neither is the defendant acquitted.
