Bryson "Boom" Paul also reported that the Florida MC will keep his original legal team in his second attempt at an innocent verdict following a mistrial.

After a mistrial and the prosecution pushing for a second attempt, YNW Melly's future in court is taking shape. Moreover, the judge and the case's cohorts recently held a status meeting to determine what the next steps in the second trial would be. Thanks to reporting from journalist Bryson "Boom" Paul, we have a good idea of what were the most important takeaways so far in these deliberations. One of these hints at the timeline of his next court dates which, according to data from the Florida State Courts System, will be on August 1 to 3 of this year. As such, it seems like this will be a relatively swift and re-immersive dive into this double murder trial's second iteration.

In addition, Paul reported that prosecutor Kristine Bradley suggested that YNW Melly and YNW Bortlen be tried together. Both stand accused of being involved in the shooting that took the lives of YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser. If this happens, it could spell out different parameters and focuses during this case. Furthermore, it could also expand the trial's reach and cause more pieces of evidence or other claims to come forward.

In addition, we also got an update when it comes to the 24-year-old's companions in the courtroom. According to Paul, it seems like YNW Melly will keep his original legal team, and that they will fully support him as his defense in this second trial. This team includes David A. Howard, Raven Ramona Liberty, and Stuart Adelstein. In addition, Kristine Bradley and Camille Smith will lead the prosecution for this second trial, which Judge John Murphy III will preside over once more. Not only that, but Paul also shared a summary report from HipHopDX concerning the Florida MC's apparent attempts to dodge law enforcement.
