YNW Melly, whose real name is Jamell Demons, is a Florida rapper who is set to go to trial again in October on two counts of first-degree murder. He is accused of killing his friends, 21-year-old Anthony Williams and 19-year-old Christopher Thomas, in October 2018.

The retrial is scheduled to begin in October, 2023. It is expected to be a lengthy and complex trial, as the prosecution will have to present evidence that convinces a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Melly is guilty of murder. Melly is a rising star in the rap industry, and his trial has attracted a great deal of attention. The outcome of the retrial could have a significant impact on his career and his life.
