"Rapper YNW Melly's Murder Trial Ends in Mistrial as Jury Deadlocks"

The murder trial of rapper YNW Melly, accused of killing two of his friends in 2018, has resulted in a mistrial after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Prosecutors sought the death penalty and are expected to retry the case with a new jury. The defense argued that the claims lacked credibility as the victims were close friends of the rapper. The trial revealed that the bodies were taken to an area near the Everglades and shot at to make it appear as a drive-by shooting. YNW Melly gained fame in 2017 and was arrested on murder charges in 2019.
