Ynw Melly is about to spend another year in prison as his double murder in Florida was once again postponed – this time until September 2027.
This means he will be locked in for nearly a decade without a final verdict on the death of his two YNW crew members.
A Broward County judge introduced the green light to the new trial date at a recent hearing. These delays continue to increase due to legal appeals, struggles for evidence and many court chaos.
Melly’s devil named Jamell, broke out in 2019 for allegedly killing YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser. Police said he tried to make everything look like driving, but the evidence told a different story.
Witnesses are also dramatic. Mellie is subject to additional charges for allegedly trying to prevent the main witness from testifying. Prosecutors claim he tried to use gang ties to complete it.
Forensic evidence has always been an important part of the case. Police said the bullets came from inside the car, not outside. The autopsy report, telephone data and surveillance footage reportedly placed Meli in the car at the time of the shooting.
Oh, he allegedly wrote a social media message, allegedly “I did it” with a smiley emoji.
And now, YNW Melly has not spent a day in court, but has waited for another three years.
The first trial was mistried in 2023 after the jury disagreed with the verdict. It was 9-3 deadlocked, tending to convict him on less charges rather than murder.
Prosecutors are still working on the death penalty, especially now that Florida 8-4 jury votes to send someone to death row.
Mellie’s legal team is still struggling to challenge the text and calling on prosecutors to want to use it. They are still awaiting an appeal to understand how some of this evidence is collected.
Meanwhile, the judge thought it was clear – he hoped the case would move, but too much legal confusion slowed it down.
He was rejected over and over again and was recently moved to a new high security lockdown. Most importantly, he is still dealing with other charges, such as felons with possession of drugs and weapons.
Unless there is some change, it seems like Mellie will be in that cell for a long time, and this trial is about to begin.
