YNW Melly's Lawyer Blasts State's Case, Urges Jury to Set Rapper Free in Closing Argument
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июл 2023
- During his closing argument, defense attorney Stuart Adelstein attempted to poke holes in the state’s theory that YNW Melly killed his best friends, YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser, because he was angry, greedy, and wanted to be initiated into the Bloods gang. “There is a lack of evidence,” he said. “There is a conflict in the evidence. The evidence itself and the investigation itself stinks. I’d use another word but I’d probably be held in contempt.”

From what ive seen, i think the defense did a good job considering what theyre up against. They see everything against them before the trial and have to know which way to fight the case. Reasonable doubt is really the only thing they could attack to free him. For everyone saying the defense is terrible,what should they have done differently??🤔
Had an expert disprove the ballistics or muddy the waters and present a different theory.
@@brandonman1315now I wonder if my they never 😅
@@brandonman1315and they couldn’t disprove it.
So what else should they have done?
@@brandonman1315forensics don’t lie
Guilty.. based on what I saw
The crazy thing about Jury’s…. You never know what they are thinking… I learned that after Casey A.
difference is Casey A testified and is crazy enough to try and gaslight the jury. And some gullible Jury believed her "i'm a victim, i'm an innocent little girl" narrative.
Facts
Absolutely.
OMG YOUR SOOOOOO RITE I WAS SICK 2 MY STOMACH THAT SHE GOT AWAY WITH KILLING HER BEAUTIFUL BABY I😢
Yess!
What this defence attorney speaks is very convincing! 👏
you woke up this morning and chose to speak facts
They should have had Bortlen’s trial first! He drove them to the hospital! He knows without a doubt what happened!
They know something we don’t
I feel like if melly wasn’t found guilty at the end of this that bortlen def will be found guilty
if im not mistaken on the Law&Crime stream they said- because Melly was the MAIN suspect or thought to be the most likely person to be the gunman. not sure if thats exactly true but just a thought i guess
@@6ratheI know they said that’s probably a reason Bortlen got house arrest because melly was the suspected shooter.
Your comment is pretty reasonable. I think Cortlen Henry will be their second chance just in case Melly was acquitted. Somebody has to pay, no doubt about it.
His defense attorney was a true dog in this case! He really went to bat for bruh w this one. His whole career is going to elevate even more after this case. Hats off counsel! 👏🏾
Hope he gets the needle
Top notch lawyer for sure
Factsss
They put on a masterpiece all three of them. The female attorney barely spoke, but when she did the prosecution looked weak. They say these lawyers won’t be on the next trial, butt that doesn’t matter they laid the blueprint already.
Yup lots of Rapper offenders coming.
I love closing arguments and this is the reason why. Melly got his money worth!! This lawyer did a great job and was very expressive and gravitating. I thought i was watching "a time to kill"😅
I don’t understand how someone could get the death penalty without a murder weapon, gun shot residue or DNA. They only have the phone to go on. I’ll be interested to see what the verdict is.
You honestly think Melly was going to keep gun or bloody clothes?
Bortland showed up to hospital and they found blood under the clothes he put over new clothes he had on.
Even if that's true Leah they have to prove that. I understand what you're saying, but not everything is what it looks like. Can't send anyone young or old to death without proving it
You late to the party mam. All of these things have been long since addressed through other evidence.
Defense is poking holes in closing argument with all the states witnesses.
Mistrial baby!. Melly innocent and the jury agreed. What a beautiful day.
I’m with Melly’s attorney without all the rambling. He made valid points very serious valid statements about the DA’s and the incredible investigation the detectives performed as well the witnesses repented statements it lacks to an entirety to prove guilt. The defense should have slammed the door on the state since they opened it with hidden text messages from Quando Rondo being… he is linked to other murders and being incarcerated as this trial was ongoing for other crimes. As said too much evidence is missing to prove guilt.
Quando and Melly was friends?
True or not... melly is where he needs to be.
This lawyer is worth every penny.
Unless he loses...js.
@@nacho_ncamExactly
@@nacho_ncam I agree, but in this case it will be a mistrial or a win for him.
Whatever Melly paid him, he was worth every penny. This man is really good
Perfectly stated!
“They opened the door” “ judge sustained “😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
He got a good lawyer 4 sure
I’m convinced this guy swung for the fence and hit a home run! If I was a juror, NOT GUILTY!!
and thats why ur not a juror lol
@@habboscammers7131anyone could be a juror.
@@habboscammers7131 Hey man, I almost said something that might’ve had the cops at my door. Better who you typing to boy!
@@Ghost.0311ohhh, the keyboard warrior. Lol
Agree!
If he gets acquitted the prosecution cannot blame anyone but themselves! They flopped this case thinking they could be sneaky against top defense attorneys!
??? The prosecution had the facts and evidence on their side.
No I don't think they did sloppy investing that's what's on there side.
Defiently u said it best she been violated so many times through this trial for the sneaky stuff she try to shove on these ppl
2 word: REASONABLE DOUBT
Camerman laughing is the icing that the prosecution is a joke😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂💯
What time lol
@@cuhgoingoff203228:56
How do you search a car for 15 hours not find nothing then 3 years later you find everything
By making everything up and planting everything I think a cop did it
His lawyer sounded like Danny Devito if he was demented…some points he was so over the top I was 😂
Now we wait for the verdict ?? I can’t wait to hear what the jury has to say.
If they reach a verdict over the weekend with they all come in or wait until Monday??????
@@beffis1980there's no court on the weekend bro, monday
@@lexdizzot8197but for a big case like this they might. These jurors are sequestered from their homes until they get a verdict
So wen will it be his last day in court where he gets his sentence
@@Frostyinfamous yes, when the jury is done deliberating
Mellys face when he said his mangager could of tried to take him out was scary almost look like a light bulb came on
light what😂😂
@@ayishawise6473 do you not know what a "light bulb" is you must have a tough life 🤦🏼♂️
THIS LAWYER COOKING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Omg I can’t wait 2 find out already
When
The defence done a great job in his closing argument. Outlined the case perfectly. There's no way they find Melly guilty.
Are you a fan of Melly’s music? Because you’re either naïve or super delusional
That is what is wrong with the court of opinion, there is no evidence to pin him it does not matter who it could have been
Even if hes found guilty there is going to be a second trial. When the prosecutor tried to bring in evidence that was barred and said it in front of the jury, that made this trial a free try for Melly. He is either found not guilty, or if hes found guilty it will be overturned on appeal.
Finally someone knows what they are talking about
Let's hope to God not!!!
Ya many years down the Rd n melly still gonna be locked up
Melly will be locked up during the appeal process, but he does have few grounds of appeal to work with!
I just can't believe they NEVER talked to any of the other 4 guys in the red suv and that they waited until this year for so much important evidence/information to be brought up in court. IMO, the police & prosecutor botched their investigations!
You state that as fact. You don't know that for sure. You don't know all the case law, which guides them. Or all of the background of the case. Don't let the fake drama of defense attorneys fool you. I agree it could happen, but respectfully, you shouldn't state it as it is inevitable. Misleads people.
Melly looked baffled after watching his lawyer trying to spin a cohesive tale to the jury.
If you had an IQ of 40 you;d be baffled too.
Uh oh...
Yup. The lawyer had to constantly check his notes because he didn't want to confuse himself. 😂😂😂
Auntie’s Advice recommended your channel. She spoke very highly of you. I liked and subscribed.
His lawyer talk game tho.💪🏾💪🏾
The lawyer is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
oh he going deep!! he is a great lawyer
I just hope the jury uses common sense. The states whole case was horrible
and you think the defense did a good job they were even worse then state. First it’s a drive by it’s proven it’s not. Then it’s not his phone.. oh nah it is his phone but he “lost it”. Third he was never in the location he was at the house. State was average in presenting but the defenses arguments could get poked with holes like Swiss cheese 😂
@@HiveMind629 The state was horrific.
@@HiveMind629 defense was clean cut, other ppl used the phone, witness said he wasn't there, no murder weapon, don't know who was in that seat at time of shooting
Well, to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
🤭😜
The lawyer says the distance cannot be determined without the weapon but omits that the stifling shows that the shot has been fired at close range. Exactly how many cm doesn't change much.
Should he just tell the jury his client is guilty? Lol c'mon dude. Common sense, why would he mention that lol
Dont know much about the case.. butThat snoop dog throwing up gang signs argument was effective!
gang activity back in them days vs gang activity now is way different snoop will tell u that himself
What if we wake up in the morning and the Jury is there at 9:30 with a verdict!!😂😅
I’m not sure but sounds like not guilty
Then that boy is COOKED. His boots getting completely smoked. Usually the faster the verdict, the worse it is for the guy facing the time.
Then we wakin up with murder on our mind 😂 he better hope they don’t come back that quick
@@jleif7736You CAN'T necessarily say that bc the Travis Rudolph, guy who played football was facing murder charges in FL he was claiming self-defense & jury came back in 4 hrs with NOT GUILTY on ALL Charges!!!
Wonderful closing argument. Its to much reasonable doubt to find him guilty
He had like 11 guiltys and 1 innocent.....and now he's going to trial ?😂😂it's over for him stop it
@@michaelbasile6388 3 not guiltys 9 guilty
Classic “it’s not us, it’s you.” Let’s see how that plays out😮
So what's going on 😮
Exceptional
THEY HAVE NO PROOF !
No smoking gun
even melly if was in the car the state still hasn’t explained that the gun was in mellys hand and he pulled the trigger on both men a lot could have happened, and they probably panicked and said it’s a drive by, he goin free
That’s what I’m saying half the ppl 1st time watching a trial is this and anybody knows u gotta have more than interpretation from the prosecution it’s gotta be more than just rods in a seat n cellphone tracking that was not as accurate as it is now 4 years ago
Exactly
the bl00d on the driver proved the was in the driver's seat when they were sh0t inside the vehicle. the lack of bl00d in the seat behind the driver proves that someone was sitting behind the driver. it is unreasonable to believe that anyone other than melly was sitting there. the studio video proved where he was seated and his phone proved he was at the scene of the sh00ting.
My boi comin home🎉
Sorry he's NOT
3:00 VERY TRUE! It's not a defendants job to prove their innocence. The prosecutors are left with the burden of only proving his guilt.
I think they did a good job when they found there was no blood spatter on his seat meaning he was in the car
@@RealPercocetthat doesn’t mean he was in the car. Just means someone was in the car. From the time they left the studio to the time of the phone calls. There are 3 hours unaccounted for. And they cant paint an image of what happened in those 3 hours. Or rather he was actually in that car.
@@letstalkaboutit2037so none of the cell phone evidence placing him with the victims phones matter? Or you’re going with someone else stole his phone?
Nah. That’s up to the jurors
@@letstalkaboutit2037we saw him get in the car we didn’t see them pull up to the gated community with the red car but they were all going to the same place supposedly so why would melly change vehicles to give them a key 😭 innocent until proven guilty but the lies are adding up
It’s all up to the jury in their hands‼️
Yeah he’s screwed
When they gone have a verdict , we have to wait till next week because of the weekend huh
Melly time to say bye to your mom and friends
@@33alltheway14they said the jury will be kept in a hotel and not allowed home until they reach a verdict
@@33alltheway14 Nobody knows how long, it could be months even. All up to them.
Now if your going to do a crime leave your phones at home! 😂
Ooh weee this is getting good!
She always objecting to everything melly lawyers are saying
Dude literally said they pulled over since he had to use the restroom? 😂 Aw man, Melly is toast. Why didn't he use it at the studio before departing and he also very conveniently happens to get into the other car. 😂😂😂
Happens a lot .. two cars following eachother stop by mayby one lives closed by to give him a lift home as the other driver Cba doing the lift home as he live a bit further
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@marathonhappytoo9858well his phone tells a diff story and he has his phone after the murders so his alibi is fake. had he actually left his phone in the car he would have gotten away w it
I heard him which he never mentioned before now saying he got out the car to take a pee
It’s their job to create doubt any way possible… they did.
Whoever was close to the Mic and coughing like that 😠😠😠
That man is workin
He looks so pitiful sitting there. Let him out and this will be a replay. He hasn’t learned his lesson.
Probably the type to say slay😐
Melly lawyer reminds me of the lawyer from the Simpsons with the blue hair
6:25 he said call of duty for jury service LOL
This is the video to show people when they say "why be a defence lawyer, youre just protecting criminals"
Why didn’t they have the other man do the closing 🤦🏽♀️He has a calm and welcoming voice he’s very convincing he should have did it.
You don't think they discussed who would close ? That man is a million dollar lawyer. He did good with what he had to work with
I think if he gets found guilty it's because of his laywer🙄 he comes across as cocky and I don't think that's good for the closing statement.
Bros recored is🔥
@@anymphoforinfo2212 What does that say about how effed up the system is that someone could possibly receive a death sentence based off the unlikability of their attorney?
They don’t need calm and welcoming at this point. They needed to put some feeling and conviction into it. The jury needed to be woken up. The prosecution sounded like a school teacher doing a PowerPoint presentation.
everyone thinks this lawyer is good just cause hes animated and loud lmao
and he was nice to the lady who types and was coughing. i dunno
Court is all about theatrics it's narrative painting
Pay attention to those 'court coughes'.
When do we find out if he’s going to jail?
The prosecution did a overall good job with what she had if you could stay woke through the whole thing. The detectives did a sloppy job gathering evidence tho and the defense used that as a great counterattack. It’s just not enough motive at the end of the day so he might get manslaughter but I doubt that too. Him not being in that car, no weapon and Bortlen pulling up to the hospital by himself was a defense attorney’s dream🤷♂️
You clearly haven’t been watching this whole thing. And obviously arent aware of all the evidence.
@@InfernityKnight remember this comment after that verdict comes out
@@InfernityKnightwasn’t nun but resonable doubt & theories that the prosecution painted she think may happen still til this day she don’t even know
It was a mistrial.
@@InfernityKnight what I tell you
I love falling asleep to lawyers choppin it up.
The area where the cell phone pinged them to is pretty secluded. Long way away from Sistrunk!
Man I honestly don’t know now.
@38:00 I dropped my Blunt 💨 😂 Jolly Green Giant or a Midget 💯 🤣🤣 Great Lawyer 👌🏿
He definitely created a doubt in my mind
My wife never would pick up phone and send a message lol
The opening statement in reference to fire being weed or a gun is spot on. How that is interpreted makes a major difference. 🤔
I think there’s a good chance he did do it but this absolutely was one of the weakest cases I’ve ever seen against someone. Even if they proved he was in the car at some point they have absolutely no proof he pulled a trigger. They have no gun, no eyewitnesses, no gunshot residue and the investigation was botched at multiple places. There is absolutely reasonable doubt to me and I think he may have done it. The state didn’t prove that though, not even close
Did u actually watch the trial? Or is this the only video u seen? They proved all that n then some
They actually proved everything. What were you watching bro
The states case was weak and based totally off of poor circumstantial evidence. Mark my words he walks
What about the phone?
Weak!?!? 🤣🤣🤣 omg I guess you just started watching during the defense’s closing arguments. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
after 5 minutes i was completely tired of listening to this guy
Fame is a vulnerability but also a shield. Honestly no clue hiw this will shake out.
Fame is nothing
Justice for Chris and Anthony ❤❤❤❤
That Defense close was MEAN 💯✅️
bro started yippin and yappin
He said this is no games folks we playing for all the marbles 😂
No way... A lawyer with "Stein" in their name?! First time for everything I suppose.
"I'm talking about burden of proof because literally none of the evidence in this case is on my side."
Prosecutors don’t usually submit evidence that helps the defense
@@ko6251Yes they do because it’s illegal not to submit and that would be an easy mistrial
Melly other lawyer looks like the guy from All State Commercial “Are you in good hands” 😂😂😂
This Lawyer is the one that should
Have been FIRED! The JUROR THAT CAUSED THE CONTROVERSY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED, HER ACTIONS WERENT NORMAL!!
MAY BE A MELLY PAYOFF!!
Not Guilty no proof he was the shooter so must be not GUILTY 😞
I was a PO for years and no expert testimony in a death penalty case is crazy.
Defense knew the state's expert witnesses were solid because the science they presented was solid.
The defense even tried to nitpick as to how the ballistics expert was holding gun in mock up of shooting. What an absolute clown that guy was. 🤡🤡🤡
@@manuelsoto9939 the way he was holding the gun was completely impractical tho. Lllllllol
Bort trial is next so anything done in this trial could effect his trial...less is better
did they track any of the other 8 people phones?
My condolences to both families my heart goes out to the families no one wins but I truly hope justice is found and bring solace to both families 2 young men lost there lives very tragically .If he did it he deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail but he also deserves a fair trail . I pray the jury all come to a decision of understanding with sound minds
@@JimRex-vv4qs Hopefully he suffers on D Row.
@@JimRex-vv4qs you sound silly. lack of evidence, no dna of his found in the car, no gunshot powder residue on his hands but there was on cortlen henrys, no weapon, no actual eye witnesses to the crime besides the defendant cortlen Henry. Let alone the fact that cortlen Henry changed his clothing and lied to the police upon arrival to the hospital and there is an alibi witness for Melly. If that is not reasonable doubt idk what is.
Very sad what happened to sacchaser n juvi.😢😔😖😭 rest easy guyz n i hope u guys get justice for ur death…. All imma say about this whole case is that this is a prime example that our justice system is a broken one. Best of luck to Melly nd his career.🙏🏻
My sincere Condolences to juvi n sacchasers family.🙏🏻🫶🏻🕊🕊💯💯💯
How do you know if the so called victims were innocent?
If people no u Rich they going to try u I no deep down in my heart If someone try to run up on me they want try to run up on no one else
I still don't understand how George Zimmerman was found not guilty 😔
Well a ton of people understand why he was found not guilty. It was the right call.
@@stagename1031you’ll get yours one day
couldn't prove who the aggressor was at the point they started fighting. You'd think the 911 call would be enough but all the witnesses heard a scuffle and voices but no could pin point who started their fight.
@mellowtalk6972 he was underneath the kid and was getting the back of head hit on the concrete.. that right there was enough to have a legitimate self defense case..
@@matthewtrout7669 I’m sure his wife and kids were beating him up when he held them at gunpoint too!
At this point, Melly might need to pull an "Your honor, im sorry sorry sorry"
😭
😂😂
Why if you know your innocent! They have nothing!!! NOTHING!!
The beer must be good after a closing argument like that !
He might need to wet his whistle pranced around like a former disco daddy.
Whoever coughed into the mic at the beginning.... I'm deaf now 😂😂😂😂
That lawyer made some valuable points
Agree!
Ye he does but I feel prosecution's case is way stronger because they have actual facts that can't be argued with
The prosecution slammed the defendant and lawyers entirely today.
@@PureePlayer ye they have been slamming em pretty much every vid I see the defense has some alright points sometimes but most of the time the prosecution presents more evidence or shuts em down quick
Lack of training on the state is not a good argument for the defense
Exactly warrant for the house
One things for sure…. When the jury wakes up in the morning “they got murder on their mind”.
His lawyer pretty sharp now!!
This was the cringiest closing I've ever seen by an attorney. "We just have to show up". "The kid had to urinate".
AND THEN TELL THE FRIENDS THEY DONT HAVE TO SHOW UP
Guessing everyone is a lawyer or a judge 😂
Bible😂
I know melly did it. But his lawyer is such a beast he gives me reasonable doubt
How do you know?
The lawyer just loud talking. Bark don't mean bite in the courtroom. Barking himself to jail
Facts
But how do you know he did it? What evidence do you have that they dont have?
@@ryangraham71so you basically ignore the entire trial
Reading the comment section here makes me sad for our youth
A lot of them are his fans so they’re not gonna look at the evidence and everything that we have heard. People were not going to get a 4K video of every single crime that has committed.
Unfortunately I’m not saying he didn’t do it but they have to prove it snd if I didn’t know anything about this they have not proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is guilty. It’s just the truth. That is what the law states and so to make it fair they have to do that

Seriously man, seriously
Melly’s lawyers delivery is 💯
"Usb-ah-Internet thing" 😂 👍
If I was juror and I seen how the state seem unsure it would be not guilty they seem like they so struck on melly that bortlen residue never existed
