0:00On May 1st, Y&W Melly just made his pitch for Bonn in a Broward County courtroom, saying seven years locked up without a conviction is plenty while he. Wates for his double murder retrial set for 2027. The 26-year-old rapper, real name Jamel Demons, faces charges for killing two childhood friends back in October of 2018, right. After a recording session, allegedly staging it like a drive-by to throw off cops. His defense team argued he's falling apart in custody, painting a rough picture of his time inside, but prosecutors flipped the script hard.
