Lil Durk has scored a major legal victory by successfully splitting his federal racketeering charges and Chicago-related murder claims from his upcoming Los Angeles trial.
The full story: His legal team filed the motion in Los Angeles federal court, giving the court a clear choice: split the new charges off for a separate trial, or throw the whole case out. The motion was filed June 26th seeking to sever murder in aid of racketeering and conspiracy counts. A hearing is set for July 27 that could shape the trajectory of the case. Trial is currently reset for August 25, 2026.
