YNW Melly’s legal troubles aren’t slowing down. His retrial is set for September 2025, and he’s facing some serious charges. Life in prison or the death penalty hangs in the balance.
Things are heating up with new developments in the lawsuit from YNW Juvy’s estate. Jamie King, Melly’s mom, and rapper Fredo Bang will give video depositions on September 26 and 27.
Jamie King has been vocal, saying the case should be dismissed. She’s also revealed that Melly is under harsh conditions—no phone calls, no contact with other inmates, and no visits.
Meanwhile, Melly’s lawyer Bradford Cohen is calling out Florida prosecutors. He says they have mishandled the case from day one, even refusing to pass it to an unconflicted state attorney’s office.
He didn’t mince words, stating that the Broward State Attorneys Office has “really screwed this case up.” He mentioned they wanted to cross-examine a state attorney who testified that a police officer lied.
The YNW Melly case continues to be a legal rollercoaster, with new twists at every turn.
