Young Dolph's Alleged Killers Request July 1st Court Date: Report

May 31, 2022

Cornelius Smith will have his bond hearing on July 1st as well.

As Young Dolph's family and fans continue to remember his legacy, the late rapper's alleged killers, Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith, have worked with their lawyers to move a hearing that was scheduled for May 27th to July 1st, with attorneys stating that "new discovery" must be viewed before they're ready to work.

"[Smith and Johnson's] attorneys have [requested that] today's hearing be reset to July 1st," FOX13's Jeremy Pierre revealed on Twitter late last week. "Smith's Bond hearing will be on that day as well. Attorneys say they have received new discovery in the case that needs to be viewed."



As Bossip notes – pending any further rescheduling – July could finally be the time when we get some answers into the alleged killer's motives. Smith, who has spent nearly a year behind bars, will have a bond hearing at the same time, making it an interesting day for everyone involved.

Dolph was just 36 years old when he was fatally shot outside of Makeda's Cookies in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. The father of two was hit as he was picking up a treat for his grandmother on the way to host his annual turkey giveaway in celebration of Thanksgiving.
