He's innocent
Adrian a real one
What was the verdict?
The defense made a smart move. Their argument remains solid basing on the statement given by Davis that when they heard the news he was with Melly. So basically when all this happened Melly wasn’t there.
He killed them because he wanted the ynw brand to himself but sak was the one who started the brand and wasn’t going for it. And sak was always letting people know that he started ynw not Melly! That’s why he was killed and by Juvy being tight with sak he was killed for that reason alone
After hear the defense examine the detective the detective over looked suspects to get a high profile case😒 it's clear melly was targeted
How they go from fighting that isn’t his phone to now he lost his phone in the car 😂🥴
You know what I just realized? If Melly accidentally left the phone in the gray car when he got into the red one, that means Courtlen had the phone after the shooting. He's the one that wrote the "I did that" text (which doesn't even make sense when the person asked "are you ok"). It will be interesting to see Courtlen's texts on his own phone…how does he spell dat/that???
HE LIES! SEND MELLY TO JAMAICA TO HELP US TAKE OUT SOME OF THE GUNMEN🤣🤣
I think Melly did the murders an the other guy shot the car up. That’s how he had the residue on his hands.
Why did they not let the defence show a bigger portion of the documentary? They let the prosecutor show all those irrelevant pics and vid’s 🤦🏽♀️
21:35 he’s living off Melly, of course he’s telling THE TRUTH ONE HUNDRED PERCENT 🙄🙄🙄
EVERY WITNESS THAT THE PROSECUTION BROUGHT WAS BIAS….
58:16 Did she watch a different clip? This is making me lose all faith in humanity. It wasnt “i wasn’t sure if he was in the house” vs “he was 100% in the house”. it was “After we got home I assume he went to his room” vs “After we got home he went to his room”. There was never a time where he ever made a statement that he wasn’t sure the defendant was at the house. I can’t believe this woman is a defense attorney. She has a prosecutors’ mindset so well. Seems to interpret everything to be as incriminating as possible to the point where she’s not just putting a spin on things she’s saying things that are visibly false.
Oh my goodness, he was a victim of a drive-by shooting because he lost his best friends that would make somebody a victim
33:25 wtf man. It’s not reasonable doubt bc theres reasonable doubt about exculpatory evidence? That’s not how it works! There’s no evidence he’s lying and the explanation is reasonable. It’s totally reasonable that somebody would drop somebody off in a different car bc they want to go somewhere different than everybody else. it’s also completely reasonable to leave ur phone in the car and it’s ALSO reasonable for one of your close friends to know your phone password.
It’s not the defense’s job to find a witness who has absolutely no incentive to lie. Just like nobody cares that the states’ witnesses had incentive to say what they said. It’s the prosecution’s job to prove that his testimony was false. he gave his testimony 5 years ago. They had 5 years to check the tapes and see when melly got home, to cross check the other witnesses’ phone records, to interview other witnesses that could contradict his statement. They didn’t do any of that! The only thing left to assume is that it’s reasonable doubt
His friend's testimony doesn't help melly at all. If anything he made things worse
These people aren't really smart. That's why so many people get away with murder. All you hear is lies. How is he home and dropping a pinned location somewhere else.
I just keep going back to the steps evidence. I have to go back and find it. If I remember correctly there over 1000 steps at 4:20 AM if he was home…. Was he running on a treadmill?
Please free him
Dont worry his homies will take care of him in prison. Extra honeybuns and new shoe laces.
Cold case 😢
Why they didn’t ask the security guard at the gate how many people did he see in the car. Ya this case is a waste
The prosecution lady body language tells shes desperate to get him to lie 😅😂 but gets nothing
Last witness lied. Melly stated he was in a drivebye while last witness stated Melly was in a different vehicle.
BORTLEN DID IT & THATS PROOF
Terri Austin be quiet with bias butt
Davis testemony will basically be taken as only as seriously as a 'character reference' at best by his best friend to the Jury. .
The friends testimony completely contradicts the original story of ynw melly being in the car during the drive by. Makes no sense
The text at the end of the doc doesn't exclude the last witness. Most people would want to include themselves in something like that for clout. So the documentary could be a lie or the witness. However who knows the demographic of the jury. Could all be near their 50s. 😅
Davis had no charges that the prosecution could hold over him to bully him into saying what they wanted. She knew he was going to give Melly an alibi, so she probably told that lead investigator not to interview him (hoping the defense would never hear Davis’s information). The lazy investigators didn’t even bother to get surveillance tapes from a bunch of places, so there are plenty of gaps where it is completely plausible that Melly could have gotten into the red car (so then there’s one person in each car that has a house key). And about that sentence on the screen at the end of the documentary: it says those guys were “the target” of a drive-by. Someone could assume you would be in a certain car (maybe because it’s the car you usually use), and therefore TARGET that car for a drive-by. If it so happens that you are not actually in the car, that doesn’t change the fact that you were one of the intended targets of the shooting.
Why does the bottom of the screen say that they were shot while melly was in the car
Terri is upping her game and actually reporting better now, credit where it's due.
That Melly sure is one funny looking dude 👁️👁️
These African queens will always be trying to defend their "kings" …all the time
This case is been going on forever they don’t have nothing on Melly YNW borten had the gun powder on his hands and where is the gun the gun was never found
Dang… this is sad 😢
That lady has the wrong information the prosecutor then asked him was Melly and the house the prosecutor asked did he 100% know that Melly was in his room he knew he was in the house because he got in the car with them and let them in the gate and let them in the house
