Broward County, FL – YNW Melly is currently behind bars after he was arrested in February 2019 for the callous murders of YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy. Although Melly has maintained his innocence, mounting evidence appears to point to his guilt. As the case prepares to go to trial, even Akademiks thinks prosecutors have built a solid case.
In a YouTube video published on Saturday (February 19), the former Everyday Struggle co-host laid out details about the case and included court documents that seemed to validate his claims.
“It looks like YNW Melly might be cooked,” Akademiks said in the clip. “I gotta keep it 100 with you. He’s one of my favorite artists. Trust me, I think he’s so talented that I’m hoping that anything they’re saying that he did, he ain’t do! However, if you listen to his music, Melly Vs. Melvin, maybe Melvin did it and Melly’s innocent.
“But unfortunately, he got one body and one life, and if the other one’s guilty, that means he’s guilty. And I don’t think the plea of insanity will work and to be honest, it’s clear the prosecutors and the police has a hard-on. They want to get this guy in the execution chair. ”
In October 2021, prosecution asked a Broward County judge to have YNW Melly submit an oral swab so they could determine if his saliva was a match to the DNA found on a yellow jacket from the crime scene. As Akademiks continued, he revealed prosecutors actually submitted a 66-page report on DNA evidence once they got the results.
“The State of Florida has now submitted supplementary discovery, which means they have now basically sent to YNW Melly’s lawyers, ‘Hey, these are additional evidence that we didn’t send y’all before,'” he said. “By the time you get to trial, as a prosecutors, you gotta send the defendant everything you’re going to use against them in court so they can prepare a legal defense. Now, what the State Attorney just provided to YNW Melly’s defense team is a whole lotta pages on DNA.”
