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.

Good topic choice and summary Jacob! The issue is you didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 30 points.
I do not think that Melly should be freed because there's evidence. Usually, the artist put things into their songs to put pieces together so I feel like he was trying to tell us something that he did. I feel like Melly did it. I don't think it is racist.
Do you think Melly should be freed, Yes I very much think that Melly should be free i don't think he did anything at all. I don't think that he would kill his own friends. Why would somone kill there own friends. I think they just decided who has been with his 2 friends the most. That's what i would guess the reason why they think it was him. Bcause he is probably the closes to those 2 guys.
Do you think Melly should be freed? No, I don't think he should be freed. He was proven guilty, and a decent amount of evidence points towards him being guilty. The things he did were also really bad. Although he makes some decent music he still should be in jail for killing his friends.
I dont think melly did it. I think he has no strong evidence that supports him doing the crime.
I think Melly should be freed. Melly has no strong evidence against him, most of the evidence comes from things he said or lyrics from a song. In my opinion I wouldn't talk about how I killed someone in lyrics of my song. I think most of what Melly was saying in his songs was really just untimley and coincidental. I also don't think this is racist. If I were family of the childhood friends, I would honestly want whoever killed my kids to not get away, and I would probably also convict anybody it could've been.
I think we should free Melly. Melly didn't do nothing and he is absolutely innocent. I think this case is racist because Melly a good rapper and their all jealous of his music. The courts don't have enough evidence and are still trying to convict this rapper. Using his music in court isn't actual proof to any crime. NO crime was commited, free YNW Melly.
I think that Melly is guilty because he has stated in a song that he killed that man but I believe that because of his banger music, he should be freed. Do you think Melly did it? I don't think that many people nowadays care because he makes great music.
I agree with the fact that he should be free but I find errors in your text. The main reason you think he should be free is due to his music. The music should have nothing to do with a court case. The music is somthing that Melly wanted to do like any other rapper. So he shouldn't get hate for his music if every other rapper does the same thing.
Do you think Melly should be freed? I think he should because he made some god music and I think that they don't have any proof on the fact that he did it. Also I think that it is racist and that they are using his skin color against him also he didn't do it because he make bangers.
