Cooperating witnesses in the Lil Durk case were reportedly collectively interviewed over 50 times but rarely recorded.
On Tuesday (Aug. 25), the prosecution continued to lay out its case against Durk and his codefendants, DeAndre Wilson and David Lindsey, for the murder of Quando Rondo's cousin, Saviay'a Robinson. According to I'm Not a Lawyer But... creator Melanie Goolsby, who is covering the trial, today's hearing featured cross-examination from Durk's attorney, Brian Steel, who questioned Detective Carias about how many times cooperating witnesses Kacey "OTF Jam" Hester, Kavon "OTF Vonnie" and Keith Jones have spoken with detectives.
Jam spoke with investigators 30 times, but only three were recorded. Vonnie spoke with investigators 10 times. However, none of the instances were documented. Keith Jones has spoken to police 15 times, with one being recorded.
“I typically, when I interview, I have it recorded," Carias told the jury. "If it’s not recorded that’s because it’s government preference."
Since shortly after Durk's arrest in October of 2024, rumors circulated that Jam helped bring a case against Durk by being an informant for the feds. He is expected to take the stand. Kavon "OTF Vonnie" and Keith Jones were initially charged as hitmen in the case and have since pleaded guilty and will also be taking the stand against Durk, Wilson and Lindsey. Another man, Asa Houston, has been charged with the murder but will be tried separately.
Durk, Wilson and Lindsey face life in prison if found guilty.
The prosecution reveals today that OTF Jam, OTF Vonnie, and Keith Jones, aka Flacka, are expected to testify against Lil Durk in his murder-for-hire case 👀😳
