Should Melly be freed?

The case of rapper YNW Melly has a lot of controversy, especially when it comes to whether he should be freed. Melly, whose real name is Jamell Demons, is facing two first-degree murder charges for allegedly killing his friends, Christopher Thomas Jr. (YNW Juvy) and Anthony Williams (YNW Sakchaser), in 2018. His supporters argue that he should be released because there are questions about the evidence against him, and they believe he hasn't had a fair trial. They also point to his talent and his affect on the music world, suggesting that the case might be influenced by public bias and the way young Black men in the entertainment industry are treated.

On the other hand, there are serious reasons why many believe Melly should not be freed. Prosecutors say he planned and carried out the murders, pointing to evidence like reports and testimonies from witnesses. Some of Melly’s lyrics and social media posts have been used as evidence, which some people argue that it proves he's guilty. Even though Melly’s legal team maintains his innocence and claims the evidence is circumstantial, the severity of the charges and the nature of the case mean that the courts must carefully examine all the facts before making a decision.

Ultimately, whether YNW Melly should be freed depends on the legal process and whether the amount of evidence is enough to support his innocence or guilt. While his supporters believe he is innocent, pointing to flaws in the case against him, the justice has to make its decision with facts, not the publics opinion. The court will decide whether the evidence is strong enough for a conviction or if Melly deserves to be free.

  • Do you think Melly should be freed? He should be freed. Do you think Melly did it? I don't think he killed him. I think he had nothing to do with it. I believe he was falsely accused of murder. Do you think this is racist? Yes, I think they were accusing him because of his skin color.

  • I think melly shouldbe freed because he makes good music for the youth. Whether or not Melly did it or not isn't that much of a concern to me because he made the song "Murder on my mind" which is a modern trap classic. I wouldn't call this court case racist per say but maybe the judge is racist you never know.
