If Found Guilty Of Murder, Ynw Melly Can Still Be Sentenced To Death

The YNW Melly may still be facing to death when it comes to the double murder trial even if he is found guilty after the concept was removed from the discussion.

In the words of Billboard, a Florida appeals court decided at the hearing on Wednesday (November 9) that the prosecutor could apply for the death penalty against Melly (real identity: Jamell Demons) when he is found guilty of the murders of his two buddies YNW Sakchaser (Anthony Williams) and YNW Juvy (Christopher Thomas Jr.) in October of 2018.

Florida’s District Court of Appeal overturned Judge Andrew Siegel’s decision from the summer when he said authorities couldn’t apply to execute capital punishment on Melly because they “had failed to give Melly and his attorneys proper notice that they planned to do so.”

The court of appeals believes that Melly along with his lawyers was provided with sufficient time given that it had made the death penalty concept on the table after Melly was charged with “Murder On My Mind” rapper was first accused in the year 2019, which means the prosecution did not violate the law of the state.

In his decision to reintroduce the death penalty as a possibility, Judge Spencer D. Levine stated, “We conclude that the state met with its statutory responsibilities when it filed its notice of intent to seek the death sentence within 45 days of arraignment.” “The fact that the State has filed an indictment that supersedes the earlier one and necessitates a new arraignment does not render the earlier filed and timely notification of intention unlawful. Notification simply means “notice.”

This is merely temporary as the death penalty clause will be considered by Florida’s Supreme Court at a later date later in the year.

“[We] look forward to our opportunity to argue our position before the justices,” Melly’s lawyer Phillip Horrowitz told Billboard while admitting that he was “disappointed by the ruling.”

YNW Melly remains in jail without bail since being detained at the hands of Miramar Police in February 2019 for double murder.

“Jamell Demons, a.k.a. YNW Melly & Cortlen Henry were detained and accused of two charges of murder in the first degree,” Miramar police posted in a tweet in the moment. “The victim, Anthony Williams & Christopher Thomas Jr. were killed on October 26, 2018.

“The investigation, supported by forensic evidence, has concluded that Demons shot and killed Williams & Thomas Jr. and that Demons and Henry staged the crime scene to resemble a drive-by shooting.”

As reported by The South Florida Sun Sentinel, Williams and Thomas Jr. suffered multiple gunshot wounds. They were taken into Memorial Hospital Miramar at 4:35 a.m. at which point they died. The hospital is around 20 miles to the west of Fort Lauderdale.

YNW Melly admitted not to be guilty but has continued to defend his innocence in the face of the accusations. Melly is still without an officially scheduled trial date, because it was postponed in the month of July.
