YNW Melly’s mom says the court is creating a false narrative over allegation of teaming up with one of his lawyers to try and plan an escape from prison.
“As an attorney for a victim, we strongly feel any attempts to escape justice point to guilt,” Phillips told the outlet. “This matter needs to be fully investigated, including the attorney’s involvement.”
She continued, “Certainly, there are times when informants and even government agents are wrong or engaging in misconduct, but we’ve seen so much in this case from rooftop stripper parties across to diamond teeth dentist needs, this is yet another chapter in what needs to just be finished in court.”
YNW’s trial has been delayed several times. Jury selection was supposed to kick off on April 4, but it was once again delayed with no start date on the calendar. Both sides have continued to deliberate the framework of evidence being used in the courtroom, however, Melly received an early legal victory back in July when a judge ruled the death penalty could be taken off the table.
Unfortunately, the judge also allowed Melly’s numerous tattoos to be used as evidence by prosecutors, who claim they “prove that one of the reasons behind this murder was a gang affiliation.”
The accusations also come mere days after Melly was accused of housing “shanks” and “a pipe bomb” in his jail cell.
“The confidential source gave us two pieces of information,” said Christian Tsoubanos, Assistant General Counsel for the Broward Sherriff’s Office, during Tuesday’s hearing. “One of them [about the shank and drugs] turned out to be a hundred percent true. And when they did the search of Demons’ cell, they did not find the handcuff key, but it could have been that there was not an opportunity to bring it into the facility yet.”
