Update: Lil Durk was acquitted of all charges in the LA murder-for-hire trial.
He remains in custody because of a separate federal racketeering case that charges him with murder in aid of racketeering in the Stephon Mack killing.
Trial date: October 5.#OTF
Lil Durk was found not guilty on all LA murder-for-hire charges.
He still faces a separate federal racketeering (VICAR) trial that includes the Stephon Mack Chicago murder conspiracy.
That trial is set for October 5.#Chicago
@Isrealjuju That Aye performance just set the whole festival on fire 🔥 Who else can still command a stage like this after all these years?! Absolute GOAT behaviour. No debate.
@traploreross True. Former Alamo Records executive testified that Durk cancelled the rollout, deactivated everything, and cut people off while grieving. They only got him back online early because The Voice leaked.
@traploreross If the judge is investigating possible juror contact or remarks outside court, that’s serious. Any outside interference (even from supporters) can create problems and give the other side something to work with.
@traploreross Exactly. For the federal stalking charge, the jury has to find that Quando was placed in reasonable fear of death or serious injury. If he didn’t even know he was being stalked at the time, that element gets a lot harder for the prosecution to prove.
King Von’s baby mother (Shekema / Shakima Springfield, also known as Queen Kema) testified as a defense witness for Lil Durk on Thursday (the same day both sides rested).
@traploreross By forcing the jury to only hear the victim’s real name (instead of the street nickname), it may reduce the emotional or cultural weight of those statements in the jury’s minds. Trap Lore Ross is calling it a “big win” for the defense.
@traploreross Prosecutors and some witnesses used the nickname “Lul Pab.” There was also a recording where Boonie Moe allegedly said he was “smoking on Lul Pab,” and claims that Durk said something like “Lul Pab still counts.”
