YNW Melly and YNW Bortlen charged with witness tampering
thefader.comYNW Melly was charged with witness tampering in his own double homicide case Tuesday night (October 3), the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports and online arrest records confirm.
Melly (born Jamell Maurice Demons) and Cortlen Malik Henry (aka YNW Bortlen) are accused of murdering their childhood friends and crew members Christopher Thomas (YNW Juvy) and Anthony Williams (YNW Sakchaser) in 2018.
Melly has been denied bond on multiple occasions, including last week. His first murder trial ended in July with a hung jury, resulting in a mistrial.
His retrial is scheduled to begin next Monday, October 9. Before that happens, though, Broward County Circuit Judge John J. Murphy will rule Friday on a motion filed by Melly’s attorneys to dismiss the case entirely, on the grounds that the prosecution failed to alert them of potential misconduct by the case’s lead detective, Mark Moretti.
