Judge gives defense future ammo. As the high-profile legal battle continues, the presiding judge in Lil Durk’s trial laid out procedural guidelines that effectively pave the way for a defense appeal should the jury return a conviction.
Judge In Lil Durk’s Trial Opens Door For Appeal If Jury Convicts as while Smurk’s lawyer Christy O’Connor fought back against notion of indirect responsibility, judge said rule will stand, opening door for both sides claims. What defense is saying here is that they want right, if there should be convictions, to raise this issue with full Court of Appeals or Supreme Court, Judge Fitzgerald said.
This sets path for defense to appeal if jury convicts Lil Durk and codefendants, Deondre DeDe Wilson and David Browneyez Lindsey. Judge Limits What Prosecutors Can Argue Against Lil Durk as prosecutors ruled out unknown DeDe plot as Lil Durk’s lawyers kept open possible appeal over shared criminal blame. Filing requires jurors to judge every defendant and count separately.
