YNW Melly's double murder trial has been going off without nearly as many hitches as we've seen from the YSL RICO indictment. Of course, there have still been noteworthy reports coming from the courtroom, such as the accused killer's apparent praying before jurors entered the courtroom on day two. Prior to that, on Monday (June 12), Melly seemingly shed a tear while watching the footage of the two associates he's been accused of killing.
As VladTV reports, another moment making rounds online from one of this week's live streams shows Melly and his attorney talking, using a notebook to hide their mouths. This is obviously common practice in the courtroom, but lawyers don't always have "Evil Plans and Stuff" written across the front of their notebook. Considering the crimes the 23-year-old has been accused of committing, and the fact that he's facing the death penalty, some social media users are feeling as though it was an unprofessional decision.
YNW Melly's Attorney Stirs the Pot
"When your defense attorney is the opps 😂😂😂," one person joked. "Why would you EVER bring that to court with you? OMG!!!!" another user pondered, prompting the OP to write back, "Just a wild thing to not only bring to court but flash in front of the jury lol." According to reports from Law & Crime correspondents, the 12-person jury has been "death qualified," and consists of nine women. They also appear to be between the ages of 33-50.
Day two of the highly publicized trial wrapped up earlier this afternoon, and is set to resume at 9 AM ET on Wednesday (June 13). Melly was reportedly "all smiles and in great spirits" during his exits, leaving the family of his alleged victims with a bitter taste in their mouths.
