The Controversial YNW Melly Murder Trial: Lack of Evidence and Conflicting Testimonies.
Rapper YNW Melly's defense attorneys argued that he was being denied the right to face his accuser when a masked witness testified about alleged gang connections during his double murder trial in South Florida. The witness, Broward Sheriff's Office Detective Danny Polo, testified with his face covered due to death threats he received from people unrelated to the case. Polo tied YNW Melly to membership in G-Shine, an offshoot of the Bloods. YNW Melly is facing a possible death sentence for the October 2018 fatal shooting of his childhood friends, Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr.
