The lawyer went on to state that if fewer people were involved in the group, the main person would wind up with more cash. According to Complex, the court case for Mr. Melly isn’t going well because a video was revealed back in August in which the rapper supposedly admitted to killing his friends.
Allegedly, Melly says in the video that he had “no regret” for the “s**t” that he did because they had to “die.” Kristine Bradley, the Assistant State Attorney of Broward County, goes on to claim that Melly puts a pen to his temple in the video and imitates pulling on the trigger of a gun.
If Melly is convicted for the crimes, he could be put on death row, Complex reported. Another rapper who’s also being charged with murder is Hurricane Chris, who was indicted earlier this year.
