| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
What's up, guys?
We are live.
What up, man?
Let me switch up the branding here because we fed it today, baby.
We are fed it today.
So, how are you guys doing?
Hopefully, you guys are having a great weekend.
Let me know.
I'm going to look in the chat right now.
Let me know if we're.
Give me ones in the chat if sound is good, and we're going to get going on this bad boy.
We got a lot to talk about, people.
A lot, man.
Give me ones in the chat if sound is.
Let me mute that.
My bad, guys.
I'm a one-man show today.
So, okay, so I'm just monitoring the thing, making sure it's good.
But yeah, give me ones in the chat.
All right, cool.
We got ones in the chat.
All right, guys, welcome to the second episode of Fed It, okay?
We are going to break down.
I don't got a shirt and tie today, but I do have one of my old raid shirts that I used to wear back in the day when we would like raid a house.
You know what I'm saying?
You guys ain't never going to catch me wearing this out in public, but this is in the back, obviously, you know.
So, you know, this is what we used to wear back in the day.
Well, when I did, whenever we hit a house or whatever, you know, you'd wear your vest and you'd put it over this, and then, you know, obviously this would clearly identify you.
But yeah, anyway, sound is unsynchronized.
What?
I don't know what that means.
Well, yeah, if the sound is good to you guys, I see a bunch of ones in the chat.
It's a one-man, so I'm not here with Moe.
But anyway, okay, cool, guys.
So today, we're going to talk about the YNW Melly case.
All right, guys.
And let's just get right into it.
Okay.
So I'm going to share screen real quick.
Some of you guys might not know who this guy is.
If you do, fantastic.
If you don't, don't worry.
I got you regardless.
So here, let me find him real fast.
Okay.
So I'm going to show his wife.
Anytime we break down a celeb case, what I'll do first, guys, is always break down the Wikipedia page for y'all so y'all know exactly who I'm talking about.
So this is him, okay?
This is YNW Melly.
His name is Janelle Maurice Demons, born May 1st, 1999.
Obviously, he's very young.
Known professionally as YNW Melly, Young Nigga World, is an American rapper and singer.
He is best known for his songs, Murder My Mind, Mixed Personalities.
And he did a song with Kanye West, Suicidal, okay?
And he also did one featuring Juice World as well, remix, I believe.
And then in November 2019, he released his debut album Melly vs. Melvin, peaking number eight on the billboard.
So the reason why it's called Melly vs. Melvin, guys, he said in interviews before that he has six different personalities and the world's only been exposed to three of them.
And we're going to touch on that a little bit more later on because I don't know if he's all there mentally, but fantastic musician.
In February 2019, he was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and faced life imprisonment for the death penalty if convicted.
He's also the suspect of a 2017 murder of a sheriff's deputy in Gifford.
And this is where he's originally from, guys, Gifford, which is up there by a little north past Fort Pierce.
Very small town.
Less than 10,000 people there.
Poor town.
Medium income is about 35 grand per year.
And he was raised by his mom.
His mom had him when he was 14 years old, guys.
So I've done a little bit of research on his background and everything.
So let's go over his criminal history real quick.
And I just wanted to make this very clear, guys.
Like, your criminal history doesn't necessarily make you guilty.
Okay.
Most of the time, your criminal history is used as an enhancement for when you actually do get convicted.
Okay.
Especially in the federal system.
In a state, I don't know how much it weighs, but in the federal system, your past convictions, remember, not just your past arrest, your past convictions, you know, definitely add to your sentence.
So let's see here.
So he got arrested before for one count of discharging a firearm in public after firing shots at three people near Vero Beach High School.
And he spent a year in jail because in 2017, he was arrested again for violating probation, spent several months in jail, released in 2018.
And then on June 30, 2018, in Fort Myers, Florida, he was arrested for possession of marijuana, possession of weapon or ammunition by a convicted felon and drug paraphernalia.
And then he was arrested again, January 3rd, 2019, in Fort Myers' possession of marijuana.
And then February 12th is obviously the case we're going to talk about now, okay?
Which is the double homicide, the alleged double homicide.
So, and then this one as well here.
He was basically complex reported that him and his buddy Bortland, who's his co-defendant, who we're going to talk about here in a second, his name is YNW Bortland, aka real name Cortland Henry, was also a suspect in that stray bullet basically hit an off-duty Indian River County Sheriff's Office deputy.
Okay, so let me look at the chat real quick.
Make sure I'm not missing anything here.
Okay.
So, guys, for the rest of the show, I'm going to refer to Melly as just Melly, even though his last name is Demons, which is fitting.
And I'm going to refer to his buddy as Henry.
Or yeah, I'm going to refer to his buddy as Henry.
So Melly and Henry are the two defendants, okay?
So I'm going to give you guys a basic overview of what happened.
They were coming from a music studio, right?
And when they were coming from the music studio, they said that they got shot at by a drive-by shooting.
And basically, the police didn't buy the story.
They did a lot of investigation, which we're going to break down here in thorough detail.
And basically, this is a very strong case from what I've read, guys.
And I want you guys to go along with me here so you guys can let me know what you guys think.
But the case is heavily circumstantial.
Okay.
And what circumstantial evidence means, guys, is that on its own independently, the evidence is weak.
But when you combine it with other pieces of circumstantial evidence, it builds a story and makes the case far stronger.
Okay.
So this case is heavily circumstantial, but the way the prosecution is going to present the case and the way the prosecution has already shown the facts, there is really no other real viable option.
Okay.
And I'm going to break down at the end the state's strengths and weaknesses and the defensive strengths and weaknesses at the end.
So let's start breaking this bad boy down.
So what I'm going to show you guys is the actual arrest and court paperwork for this case.
Okay.
So give me one second here.
I'm going to pull it up and we're going to read this bad boy together.
Okay, guys.
And I took notes on each portion.
So we're going to go through this thing very, very thoroughly.
Let's see here.
Okay.
All right.
Bam.
So this is the arrest paperwork.
Okay.
So here is the booking report, right?
As you can see, right here, this is the day he was arrested.
He turned himself in on February 13, 2019, right, at about 9 p.m. or almost 10 p.m.
And then here are the charges: murder premeditated, murder one, two counts, okay?
And just so you guys know, this charge carries a death penalty.
Florida is one of the states that still has the death penalty, guys.
So keep that in mind as well.
Okay.
And Maz, thank you so much for helping me out with the chat because I won't be looking at it too much.
You know, I'll glance over it every now and then, but I'm focused on breaking this thing down for y'all.
So, okay.
So remember how I told you guys that there's really mostly there's two ways to get like an arrest warrant for someone.
You can get him indicted.
You can go to a grand jury and present your case, right?
If you guys didn't watch it, go check the other episode where I broke down probable cause and everything else like that.
But and don't worry, guys, I will answer questions at the end of the show, okay?
I'll definitely answer questions at the end of the show.
So hold them at the end, okay?
So you got an indictment where you go and present your case in front of a grand jury, right?
And then they return a true bill, which means they're formally charging him, or you could submit something called an affidavit as the investigator, right?
So in this case, a defendant, a detective, right, wrote up an affidavit, brought it to a judge, swore to it that it's true and correct to the best of his knowledge, right?
Once he signed it, once the judge signed it, he gets an arrest warrant, and then he goes and picks up Melly.
But in this case, you know, with celebrities, they self-surrender 99% of the time because all you got to do is just, hey, you're wanted, hit up his publicist, hit up his manager, and you know what I'm saying?
He's going to surrender nine out of ten times.
Very rarely do celebrities go on the run.
And if they do, it's very stupid because they get caught very easily.
But anyway, this is the probable cause affidavit here.
Okay.
Let's see.
It looks like the detective's name here is Garcia Nestor from Broward Sheriff's Sheriff's Office?
No.
Okay.
So, no, disregard that.
But yeah, Garcia Nestor, that's the officer name, right?
And then Notice of Confidential Information.
So this is, yeah, this is just some court stuff here, right?
So let's get to it, right?
So here we go.
This is the actual thing.
Jamal Demons.
Remember, guys, this is YNW Melly.
So every time you guys see demons, that's going to be Melly.
And then YW Bortland is Henry or Cortland Henry.
Okay.
So let's see here.
Let's scroll this down.
And these are his two alleged victims, by the way, too.
Let me share this with y'all real fast.
These are the two, the two victims.
I'll show you guys.
Bear with me here, guys.
So, all right, these are his two victims right here, guys.
So, Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr., okay, aka Wynn W. Shuvi and Wynne W Sack Chaser.
Sack Chaser's on the left, guys, the darker-skinned guy.
And then Christopher Thomas, aka YW Chuvy, is on the right, the lighter skinned guy.
These are his two best friends, guys, childhood friends.
They all grew up in Gifford together.
Okay, so that's why this case is so a little strange.
I'm not going to lie to you.
But these are the two victims here.
Okay, they were on his label.
They also made music and they were good friends with him.
So, or at least until this thing allegedly happened.
So, all right, so let's pull up this affidavit again and let's break this thing line by line.
And as I read it, guys, I'm going to stop and tell you why the detectives probably did what they did.
Okay, so I'm going to actually go through and tell y'all the investigative techniques and what was probably going through their mind when they took each investigative endeavor.
Like I told y'all before, this case is heavily circumstantial.
But, right, with circumstantial evidence, when you couple it with other pieces of circumstantial evidence, the case gets stronger and stronger and it snowballs.
Okay.
So, bam.
Okay.
So, share screen.
Let's pull up this bad boy again.
Bear with me, guys.
It's been a while since I've done this myself.
Where are we?
Bam.
Okay.
All right.
So here's the affidavit, guys, right?
Like I told you, right?
So here, and he brought this to the judge and the judge signed it.
So here we go.
Murder in the first degree with the firearm.
So this is the synopsis.
On or about 26th of October in the year of 2018, in the county of Broward, state of Florida, Jamel Demons and Cortland Henry did then and there unlawfully and feloniously, while acting as principals, kill and murder Anthony Williams, a human being, by shooting him with a firearm with a premeditated intent to cause the death of said Anthony Williams.
And during the course thereof, Jamel Demons did actually possess and discharge a firearm.
And as a result, death was inflicted on Anthony Williams, contrary to sections.
And then that's the Florida statue right there, 782, right?
And then the next one here is, so Anthony Williams is the first one.
And then count two is Christopher Thomas.
Okay.
So remember, guys, just so you know, Williams is the darker skinned guy, and Thomas is the lighter skinned guys.
Okay.
So Williams is Wynne W. Chuvy, Sack Chaser, the darker skinned guy.
And then Thomas, YW Chuvy, is a lighter skinned guy.
All right.
And this is going to be important because they were sitting in a car.
And I'm going to show you guys a diagram as well.
Don't worry.
I got y'all, baby.
Okay, so here's the probable cause.
Okay.
Now we're going to get into meeting bones as a bad boy.
On October 26, 2018, at 4:35 a.m., Cortland Henry, YW Melly's friend, entered the emergency room at Miramar Memorial Miramar.
And they put the address requesting assistance for two passengers in his vehicle, a 2018 Jeep Compass.
Okay.
As they were shot multiple times, a Miramar officer, a Mengor, who was working in the security detail, exited the hospital and made contact with the aforementioned vehicle that was stopped in the loading zone on the north side of the Memorial Miramar Hospital.
Okay.
Just so you guys know, nine out of ten times, any like fairly big hospital is almost always going to have a police officer there in uniform.
Okay, just a security or whatever it is.
So this is very common that a police officer would be there to be the first one on scene to deal with something like this.
Okay.
Especially for any type of gunshot wound trauma, whatever, because that's automatically got to be reported to law enforcement.
So he's going to be there probably to take the first report and then call detectives over depending on what type of situation it is.
Okay.
So both passengers were unresponsive and exhibited multiple gunshot wounds.
The aforementioned vehicle transporting both victims also sustained a minimum of eight projectile entry points on the right side, exterior, and one visible projectile point to the rear lift gate.
Okay, so this is important, guys.
So keep that in mind.
There's eight shots, okay, on the right side of the vehicle when they pull up.
And he's coming in with two guys that are bloody and non-responsive.
Okay.
Let me make sure y'all are all good in the chat real fast.
How are my ninjas in the chat?
Okay.
Are y'all good before I keep going?
Okay, give me ones in the chat if we're good.
Good, good.
All right.
Perfect.
I think we're good here.
So, all right.
So let's go back to what we were looking at.
Okay, good.
All right.
Got a bunch of goods.
Okay, so we're at the second paragraph here.
The front right passenger, Anthony Williams, remember, guys, the dark-skinned guy, sustained gunshot wounds to his torso and head, while the rear passenger, Christopher Thomas Jr., sustained several gunshot wounds to his back and head.
Both passengers on the right side of the vehicle were pronounced deceased by medical staff at the Memorial Miramar Hospital.
Okay.
So they pretty much were DOA guys, dead on arrival.
All right.
Gunshot wounds to the head, and they were both on the right side of the vehicle.
So front passenger seat, front, and right, front passenger, right-hand front passenger seat, and then the right back seat.
Okay.
And then we're going to talk about where Melly and Henry was driving.
His buddy Henry was driving.
So let's see here.
So here we go.
This is where stuff starts to get questioned.
It starts to get questionable.
So right here, Henry was questioned by this affian.
According to him, he departed a recording studio in Fort Lauderdale.
So just so y'all know, as soon as they pulled up, that police officer that was on scene got the two dead bodies.
He called homicide immediately.
And homicide detectives typically, guys, work 24-7.
They're on call.
You know, they have that show, the first 48.
The reason why homicide detectives respond immediately like this, because granted, this is 4:30 in the morning, guys.
Somebody had to call them and they show up and respond is because murder cases, if you don't make a substantial amount of progress in the first 48 hours, haha, the TV show, it's very unlikely you're not going to solve the case.
Because with murder cases, you need to be able to preserve the evidence, okay?
When we're talking about DNA, ballistics, weapons, etc., you need to be able to get in there, investigate immediately, and get all the evidence you can while you can, and/or at bare minimum, preserve the crime scene so that you can adequately assess it, process it, get the evidence that you need, etc.
So, so that's why, so this detective rolls out there immediately.
And the Afghan guy, just so you know, is the detective that wrote this document.
So, he is probably the lead detective on this case, which means he's the primary investigator, all right?
And it's his case because there's always a case officer, case detective, case agent, whatever it is.
It's your case, you're the one that's presenting it to the prosecutor, etc.
So, according to him, so here's where things start getting very interesting, okay, guys.
And you guys are going to see what I mean by this here in a second.
So, Henry was questioned by the detective.
According to him, he departed a recording studio in Fort Lauderdale with two victims in his vehicle.
Henry stated he drove on I-595 and I-75 and exited at Miramar Parkway heading west.
So, just so y'all know, these are big, um, very um, these are um interstate highways, uh, in Florida, all right?
Uh, you don't need to know that, but all you need to know is that he said the biggest thing is that he left with the two guys, he's leaving Melly out.
He's not saying Melly was in the car.
Henry immediately goes, Henry stated that just past Southwest 160th Ave, Dykes Road, a vehicle pulled next to him and started shooting.
Henry immediately lowered his body position to the floorboards in a protective posture to avoid being shot.
Okay, remember, he's driving a vehicle.
Henry added that when he sat upright, his friends, Williams and Thomas, were shot, and he immediately proceeded to the nearest hospital.
Okay, Detective Toya, Toyota, later drove with Henry to have him identify the specific location of where the shooting occurred.
Henry pointed out the 1610 16100 block of Miramar Parkway.
It should be noted: the area was shut down between 160th Ave and 172nd Ave on Miramar Parkway and was closely examined for any evidence to corroborate the statements made by Henry.
After a long and exhausting examination, no evidence was found.
So, remember how I told you guys?
They respond immediately and they make things happen.
So, they close off the area that Henry pointed out.
He's like, hey, we got shot here, right?
They go, they close that bad boy off, send detectives, CSI, everybody, everyone's scouring the thing for bullets, blood, whatever it is, right?
Trying to find fragments of evidence so that they can go after these alleged drive-by shooters, right?
So, let's continue on.
And no corroborating evidence was found.
Okay, so this is first red flag number one.
Okay.
Next, Henry's hands were processed by Miramar Police Department crime scene technician Michael Kelly first by submission for laboratory testing with Tri-Tech gunshot residue evidence.
Long story short, guys, they processed his hands to see if he had any type of gunshot residue in his hands, and it came back negative.
So they can conclude that he did not shoot a gun.
All right.
On October 26, 2018, yeah, and guys, don't worry, I'm going to hit you with the metal gear solid thing every time suspect happens.
All right.
So on October 26th, this Afiya, along with Detective Toyota, made contact with Dontavius Wither, okay?
Who initially identified himself as Dontavius Williams at 818521 Southwest 44th Street.
This is the last known residence of the victim.
So now they go and talk to a potential witness.
Okay, guys, so you guys know what's going on here.
So step one, they go to the alleged crime scene, process it, no evidence.
So at this point, the detectives are like, what the hell's going on?
So now they're going to start interviewing people to try to figure out what the story is.
Okay.
So, and this is the last known residence of where the victims lived, right?
So this guy, Williams, this witness, or aka Wither, right?
We'll just say call him Wither.
Okay.
Wither says they, Henry, Melly, Thomas Williams, right?
The two victims and Henry and Demons, aka Melly, were at a recording studio in Fort Lauderdale and all left together in two separate vehicles.
Okay.
Withers stated he arrived a little ahead of the victims at the aforementioned residence.
Wither stated it wasn't until later that he found out his friends were shot.
Withers said that demons, aka remember, guys, Melly, was in his vehicle, a red Mitsubishi, and the gray Jeep was occupied by Henry Williams and Thomas.
So remember, guys, they were driving in a Jeep.
The murder occurred in a Jeep.
But Withers is over here saying that Melly was with him in his red Mitsubishi.
Okay.
And Henry also stated that Melly was not with him in the vehicle.
Okay.
So this is very important.
You got two people here saying that Melly was not in the Jeep.
Okay.
So they go.
So the police asked Withers if they knew the location of Melly.
Because at this point, they want to talk to Melly, right?
And he stated he did not.
However, it was later discovered that Withers was lying to the affian, aka the detective, and he, Withers, had just come from a residence of Frederick Givens, a.k.a.
Fredo Bang, and had been in the presence of demons.
Okay.
All right.
So that's another red flag.
We got witnesses lying now.
All right.
So we got one story that's not adding up with the guy that was driving the car, Henry.
And then now Withers' story isn't checking out either.
The location of the studio.
So this, so next they go to the recording studio.
All right.
Hold on.
Let me just open this here.
Make sure y'all are good in the chat.
My ninjas.
All right.
And yo, guys, give me some fire emojis in the chat if you guys are enjoying this breakdown.
We're not even getting to the good stuff yet, man.
Oh, Lord.
We're really about to break this bad boy down.
And what I'm trying to do is I read this affidavit for you guys.
I'm trying to give you guys what the detectives were doing as they were taking each investigative step, okay?
Because I want you to kind of learn how police run investigations.
Awesome.
I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.
Let's keep going on this bad boy.
So you got two stories that aren't adding up, right?
So next, now they're going to go to the recording studio.
The location of the recording studio is identified as 805 Northeast 4th Street, okay, in Fort Lauderdale, which is about 30 minutes from here, actually, guys.
I'm very familiar with the studio.
A lot of artists go record over there.
Detectives the Toyota and Bertrand made contact with management on 1026, 2018.
The manager of the studio, Albert Price, confirmed the victims were at the recording studio along with Jamel Demons, aka Melly, guys, and Cortland Henry.
The manager provided Toyota and Bertrand access to the studio security cameras.
Video evidence shows on 1026-2018, the aforementioned Gray Jeep departed the New Era studio at 3.20 in the morning.
Okay.
And they say, see, they mentioned here, the video is behind one hour.
So the driver was identified as Cortland Henry, right?
AKA Wynne W Bortland.
And the left rear passenger was Jamel Demons.
So they got this on video, guys.
Okay?
That he got in the in the he that he got in the left rear passenger seat behind Portland.
Now, remember, guys, Henry never mentioned Melly, okay?
And the other witness, Withers, said that Melly was with him.
But now they got video evidence showing that Melly actually got in the Jeep.
Okay?
Let's keep going.
The right front passenger was Anthony Williams.
Remember, guys, the light-skinned victim.
No, the right front passenger was Anthony Williams, the darker skinned guy.
And the right rear passenger was Christopher Thomas Jr., the lighter skinned guy, right?
So dark skinned guy in front, the lighter skinned guy in the back.
It should be noted that Demons had a light brown satchel, aka Melly, hanging down on the left side of his body.
The satchel appeared to be weighed down, but the contents were unknown.
When Christopher Thomas Jr. departed the studio, he was carrying a black satchel in his left hand.
Okay.
And just for references again, guys, right?
I want you guys to really get this.
Let's see here.
So Chris Thomas, the guy that was sitting next to Melly, also had a satchel that was weighing down.
So potentially he might also have had a gun on him.
All right.
Because they were being weighed down.
But we don't know.
This is speculation, right?
But this is what the detective is telling you: what he saw.
Okay.
So here we go.
The gray Jeep with the above-listed individuals, Demons, Henry, Williams, and Thomas, departed the area.
So now the detectives have it on video that Melly, his co-defendant, and the two victims departed together.
The red Mitsubishi, driven by Withers, was occupied by Adrian Davis and two other individuals followed behind.
Okay?
So Melly was not in the red Mitsubishi like Withers said.
Cap.
Okay?
Stop the cap.
Now.
So that's number three now, right?
So I stated earlier, Withers said he proceeded directly to his residence in Miramar.
Okay.
This was confirmed by the security cameras at the gatehouse at the Sunset Lakes.
This is where he lived, guys.
So they actually looked at surveillance footage of the apartment complex he looked at.
Okay.
He lived at.
All right.
The video surveillance cameras at 1700 Miramar Parkway captured the red Mitsubishi and a dark SUV passing southwest 172nd Ave at 3.46 a.m.
This is consistent with the arrival of the red Mitsubishi at the security gates to Sunset Lakes at 349.
Withers had to stop and be identified to enter the residence by the security guards as observed on video.
Okay, why is this important, guys?
They're building a timeline now.
Okay?
They're basically showing you were here.
You traveled in this direction.
It's going to set the stage for what's going to come next here very soon.
You guys are going to see what I'm talking about.
So, as you guys see, there's a lot of holes already, right?
So, what do the police do?
They go ahead and get a search warrant because now they have conflicting stories and they have probable cause to say, I need to search this car, Judge.
Judge, these guys gave us a story.
I have two dead people.
I searched the crime scene.
I couldn't find anything.
I believe, right, that I am going to find probable cause in this vehicle, right?
So, this is going to be an easy search warrant.
They write up the affidavit, judge signs it, bam, they get a search warrant, right?
So, now they go and search the Jeep that the four individuals were in that we now know were in there.
Henry did not tell the police at this point that Melly was in the vehicle with him, and we got Withers lying.
So, obviously, the police are on high alert.
Now, they get the search warrant.
Here we go.
The vehicle was maintained in a secure garage at the Miramar PD West substation.
Okay, so guys, normally when the police seize a vehicle, they'll put it in impound and they'll secure it there pending a search warrant.
The vehicle is owned by Enterprise Car Rental and rented by the manager of Demons, aka Melly, Jameson Frank Coy.
The evidence was processed by CSI's Carter and Carroll.
Okay, the vehicle had eight visible projectile holes on the right side of the vehicle.
Remember, I told you guys before there were bullet holes on the right-hand side of the car.
There was also a projectile hole on the rear lift gate.
The vehicle also had visible damage to the interior of the vehicle from projectiles entering from the outside to the inside of the vehicle.
A significant amount of blood was on the inside of the passenger side of the vehicle front and back.
Obviously, those are where the two victims were shot.
All the projectiles entering the vehicle were concentrated to the right side of the vehicle, passenger side.
Okay, guys, make a note of that.
That's very important.
And we're going to talk about why this is relevant later on.
But the vehicles were on the right.
The bullets were all coming from the right-hand side, right?
All the evidence was collected and placed into evidence.
It should be noted that one single .40-caliber shell casing, Blazer and SMW, was found inside the vehicle on the floorboard of the left-rear passenger side.
Oh Lord!
If you got shot in a drive-by shooting, how's there a bullet inside the vehicle?
Oh, shit!
Oh, shit!
This was the seat that was utilized by demons as observed on the video.
Okay?
This single shell casing also contradicts statements made by Henry saying this incident was a drive-by shooting.
This supports the evidence that the victims were shot inside the car first, and the projectile holes on the exterior was later staged in an effort to misdirect law enforcement investigation.
Oh, my God.
We're not even getting into the bad stuff yet, guys.
So someone asked, Do we have the video?
No, I don't have the surveillance footage of them getting in the vehicle together.
But yeah, it's definitely they have it.
I don't know if that's actually public.
All right.
So let's keep going here.
So on 1027.
So remember, guys, how they interviewed that Withers guy who said, oh no, Melly got in the car with me in my red Mitsubishi.
So the detective, now with this conflicting information, he goes running back over, right, to the guy that lied to him, a.k.a.
Withers.
Right?
And he's like, hey, you.
You lied, buddy.
So he confronts him, right?
After confronting Withers with the video evidence, he, Withers, then changed his story.
Oh, Lord.
All right.
He said, Demons was in the gray Jeep initially, but along the way, he got out of the Jeep and entered the red Mitsubishi.
Withers stated this occurred on I-75 near the Sheridan Street exit.
Withers stated he was contacted by Melly via Snapchat to pull over on I-75 and meet up.
Guys, make a note of that one because that's going to be very important later on.
So he's saying, first he said Melly was in the car with him.
Then the police find the video footage and show that Melly actually got in the Jeep.
Then they go back to him and say, hey, you lied.
He's like, oh, but hold on.
He did get in the car with me.
He just got in the car with me later on.
We stopped on I-75 and he just jumped in the vehicle and asked me to pull up and we communicated through Snapchat.
Keep that in mind.
All right, guys?
So what do the police do?
Skeptical cops come back again.
Get another search warrant.
A search warrant was obtained on the cell phones, cell sites used by demons, Withers, Williams, and Thomas.
Cell phone mapping showed demons, a.k.a.
Melly, Thomas, and Williams were together and Withers followed behind them.
It was determined that Withers did proceed to the residence, right, where he lived at 18521 Southwest 44th Street and arrived at said location around 3.49 a.m.
And remember, they got the surveillance footage to back this up.
This was also confirmed by the video at the gate to Sunset Lakes.
These records also showed a continuous route from the studio to the residence without a stop or delay in between.
Oh, Lord!
So he literally just told them, I stopped on the side of the road and Melly got in my car, but they got the cell phone footage, the cell phone location stuff that shows the car never stopped.
Okay?
So he went straight home.
He never stopped.
He was on a continuous route the whole time.
Now, guys, just let me break this down for y'all what cell phone slash cell sites are.
I'm very familiar with this because I used to do drug cases.
So phones have location data in them, right, guys?
And what you can do is, as an investigator, you can apply for a search warrant, which is basically either a ping, which lets you actively, right?
And let me, let me, we'll, actually, you know what?
Let me.
Let me see here.
Okay, I'll break down all this phone stuff here for you guys in a second.
Let's, actually, you know what?
No, no.
Let me break it down first, then we'll continue reading so you guys know what I'm talking about here.
All right, let me just stop sharing this real quick.
We're on page 12.
All right.
All right, guys.
So, all right, let me break this down for y'all.
So, sell site data, phone data, et cetera.
So, you can do something called a ping warrant, which is when you basically like can find, right?
You can like actively track someone's phone, right?
You apply, hey, I believe this subject is involved in drug trafficking, or I believe this subject is involved in money laundering or whatever, and I need his location to actively build an investigation on him because I can't surveil him, right?
Right.
So, that's that's one thing.
Then you got historical sell site data, which will let you basically get the guy's pattern, right?
Almost like of where his phone was located over a period of time.
This is very common in murder cases, drug trafficking cases, anything where like something crazy happened, and they need to be able to establish the location of the individual when said crime occurred.
So, obviously, they have all, see how the detectives are building a case.
So, they get all these inconsistent stories.
First, they got Henry going in there saying, oh, we got hit with a drive-by shooting, right?
Then they got Withers saying, oh, Melly was with me in the car.
Then they go and get the footage at the music studio.
See that that's not true, that those two guys lied.
Then on top of that, the projectiles don't line up with the way the guys were wounded, right?
Which we're going to talk about that in even more detail, right?
And then they found a shell casing in the car when they did the search warrant of the car.
So from there, now they have enough probable cause to say, hey, judge, I need to know where Melly was, and Bortland was, the two defendants, and I need to also know where this Withers guy was, right?
So what they're effectively doing now is they're getting everyone's location with time stamps to match it back to the solid video they have from the surveillance.
Okay, that's why this is so critical.
So sell site data, ping data, very common tactic used by law enforcement to get to get your location, right?
Especially when you're alleging you were somewhere when you really weren't, which we're clearly starting to see here, all right?
So that's how the detectives were able to get it and build a case and get the probable cause to be able to get people's location.
This is actually very common.
All right.
And getting these through the state is a lot easier through getting it through the feds.
So, okay, let's continue on breaking this bad boy down.
Hope you guys are enjoying this.
Give me ones in the chat if you guys are enjoying this breakdown.
Okay.
I know we're going very thorough here, but I want y'all to, I want to break down each thing and each investigative technique that the detectives are using so y'all know how they built the case against him, okay?
Let's say take a sip of this thing here.
Fantastic.
I'm glad you guys enjoy it.
Because I'm very familiar with these warrants myself because I used to do this all the time for my drug cases.
Because you can't surveil a guy, guys.
Like if someone's a drug trafficker, right?
They're doing, they're driving all weird.
They're taking weird turns and shit like that.
You can't surveil these dudes.
They're going to know.
So you need to be able to track their phones or track people they know those phones.
And you have to come up with quite a bit of probable cause to be able to find them.
It's called the ping warrant.
You know, very, very common technique used by law enforcement.
But in this case, it was used to establish location of murders, which you guys are going to see here why this has become so critical.
All right, so let's get back to it.
All right.
So let's go back here.
All right, cool.
All right.
We're on page 12.
So here we are.
Okay.
So they did the first one, right?
Search warrant for cell phones and sell sites used by demons, right?
And it basically triangulates where they were.
Then the self-site warrant for the cell phones of Demons Thomas and Williams revealed they traveled west on Maramar Parkway, but turned north on Southwest 184th Ave towards Pine Boulevard and then turned west on Pines Boulevard.
Video evidence shows the Gray Jeep Compass traveling west in the 19200 block at 353 and returned eastbound at 406.
Cell site data from Demons cell phone, aka Melly, which is very important.
Cell phone corresponded with the actual crime scene location, which is within the jurisdictional limits of Miramar Broward County, Florida.
Williams' cell phone also registered at the same location.
Remember, guys, Williams is Wynne W. Bortland and Demons is Melly.
Okay, these are the two defendants in the case.
The cell phone for Thomas registered.
Sorry.
Okay.
Williams' cell phone also registered at the same location as Demons.
That's the victim.
The cell phone for Thomas registered on a cell phone tower near the crime scene, but separated apart from the false reported drive-by location.
This evidence contradicts statements made by Henry at the hospital as it shows a different path traveled.
These records also don't show demons meeting up with Withers and proceeding home with him.
Oh, Lord.
So do y'all see what just happened here?
So basically, the cell phones show that Melly was with his co-defendant the entire time, never got into Mitsubishi with the other guy, Withers, okay?
And the victims were also in the vehicle.
So now they're putting them all together in the Jeep in another location, not the same location that Wynw Bortland, aka Melly's co-defendant, originally told detectives it was somewhere else.
T-Mobile cell phone records show that Demons was traveling from Fort Lauderdale in a western direction starting at 3.20 in the morning until the time of the shooting at 1026.
This was consistent with video evidence obtained in the case.
The records then showed Melly traveling back in an eastern direction with the location of the crime scene being in the path of travel.
It should be noted that the original crime scene identified by Henry was a false location.
This investigation revealed that Henry intentionally lied to this investigator and others to deceive and mislead the investigation in an attempt to hide the incriminating truth pertaining to the homicides of Thomas Williams.
Okay, let me break this down real quick.
I don't like that he wrote this in this affidavit.
Okay, I would never write this as an investigator.
Your job is to present the facts and not come up with conclusions, right?
Obviously, at this point, he's like, yo, these motherfuckers are lying.
I'm going to put this in the affidavit, but you should just let the facts speak for themselves and then let the reader come to that conclusion on their own.
You know what I'm saying?
This is kind of the difference between the state and feds.
I would never get away with being able to write this in an affidavit on the federal level.
You know, AUSAs are extremely picky.
They would never let this fly.
But he's right.
He ain't lying.
He's making facts.
Like, yo, these guys lying, bro.
Like, come on.
Like, stop the cow.
But, you know, for you to put that in the affidavit, you should be doing that.
But anyway, let's continue on.
All right.
These same cell phone records show the cell phones of Demons and Williams moving around the area west of I-75 and Pembroke Pines at 4.25 in the morning.
Remember, guys, they went to the hospital at 4.35 in the morning.
So 10 minutes before he went to the hospital, prior to entering the hospital at 4.35.
The records of demons also indicated departure from the vehicle at 4.32.
Oh, Lord!
Three minutes before he went to the hospital, it shows that Melly got out of the car.
The cell phone records.
All right.
According to the CDR of Demons' cell phone, he separated from the cell phone belonging to Williams around 4.32.
This was according to the records provided by T-Mobile via a search warrant issued in reference to this case.
Evidence shows that Henry and Demons drove around for a period of time with the two dead victims in their vehicles prior to entering the hospital.
This was in a calculated effort to establish their version of the incident in an attempt to deceive law enforcement.
See, I wouldn't put that last sentence in there, too.
You're good enough with showing that demons got out of the car right before.
Because here's the thing, guys.
They pulled cell phone location data for all the phones, the victims and the suspects.
Okay, because if I'm not mistaken, all of them were on Melly's plan.
Melly had a T-Mobile plan for everybody.
So probably not the best idea, but I digress.
All right.
So they were able to get the location data for all the phones to establish that Melly was there with them in the vehicle.
All right.
Okay.
So here's another.
So I see y'all having fun in the chat.
So, hey, guys, do me a quick favor.
While you guys are in here watching this thing, please like the video, bro.
Because, guys, I was focused on taking notes for this bad boy instead of dealing with Bimbos on a boat.
People were laughing at me like, oh, are you working on the boat?
Yes, I was working on the boat to make sure I give y'all the best breakdown of this case.
All right.
So now they have video evidence, right, from the hospital when Henry showed up with the two bodies, right?
AKA YW Bortland, the co-defendant.
So evidence obtained from the hospital shows Henry had changed his clothes when Henry departed the studio.
He was wearing a black t-shirt, but at the hospital, he was wearing a black hoodie.
The black hoodie was later examined and no forensic evidence was noted.
However, the black t-shirt worn under the hoodie by Henry had a bloodstained pattern on it, both front and back.
Okay.
Now, see, now the police are about to start going hard, guys.
Check this out.
On November 21st, 2018, okay, about less than a month later, Officer D. Goens of the Fort Lauderdale canine unit with canine gunner.
So remember, guys, it's Miramar Police Department that's doing this case.
So they call Fort Lauderdale Police Department to help them out because they have a canine unit.
All right.
was requested to assist in searching the area identified as suspect crime scene from the cell phone record.
So guys, remember, Henry told them, hey, we got hit with a drive-by shooting over here.
They went to check that area.
They couldn't find no shell casings, no bullets, no glass, no nothing.
But when they look at the cell phone records, they find a rural area of where they suspect the crime actually happened.
So they get a canine that is trained to detect, probably this dog is probably trained to detect bullets.
So the canine showed reaction to an area on the side of the road approximately 870 feet from the nearest north slash south running cross street.
Okay.
And just so y'all know, like what the canines have names and they're considered like sworn officers themselves, just so y'all know.
So the dog has a badge number and all that stuff, right?
And then if called to testify, right, the canine handler can come in and talk about the dog, how the dog is trained, etc.
They'll go over, you know, what the dog is specifically trained to do, whatever.
So these dogs are legitimately like sworn officers almost.
You know what I'm saying?
They're worth a lot of money.
Like one of these dogs is like 10 to 20 grand.
Excuse me.
So they bring the dog in, right?
And they bring it to the area that they suspect is the real crime scene.
All right.
So the dog hits on one of the areas, 870 feet from the nearest slash, north slash, running, north slash, south running cross exit.
A closer examination revealed a total of what?
Eight 40 caliber blazer SMW shell casings on the ground next to the roadway in the shoulder.
Two different types of shards of glass were found in close proximity to the shell casings.
The first type of glass was a clear glass consistent with the front right passenger window of the vehicle.
And the second type was a tinted glass consistent with the right rear passenger side of the vehicle of the aforementioned vehicle.
This crime scene was processed by CSI Curry.
The casings were sent to the BSO Crime Lab, Broward County Sheriff's Office, for comparison and evaluation.
A closer examination of the newly discovered crime scene revealed the vehicle was stopped at this location and weapons were discharged into the vehicle.
The vehicle made a U-turn and fled the area.
The other side of the road also had shards of glass consistent with the passenger windows of the vehicle.
This was a contradiction to the statement made by Henry on the morning of the shooting at the hospital to this affian.
This was clearly not a drive-by shooting and no other vehicle pulled up next to them and started shooting as stated by Henry.
This clearly shows a pattern of deceitfulness by Henry all in an effort to mislead this investigation.
Oh shit!
Oh shit!
So now, guys, they identified a new crime scene, the real crime scene.
They found eight bullet casings there.
The dog hit on it, and they find shards of glass consistent with the Jeep rental that they had.
And remember, Henry did not tell them any of this.
All right?
Lord, man.
All right.
So let's continue on.
On November, and they're not done.
Guys, it gets, but wait, there's more.
On November 26, 2018, all right, another search warrant was obtained for the 2018 Jeep Compass previously mentioned.
So these guys, and I'm sorry, guys, that I'm like laughing about this or whatever, because I'm thinking like the investigator right now, right?
So these niggas get another search warrant.
That's how you know they had a heart on.
Like they were like, yo, I'm doing another search warrant on this goddamn thing.
And look at what they do.
All right.
The vehicle was maintained.
And the reason why they say this, guys, the vehicle is maintained in secured storage at the Miramar PD West substation.
The reason why they say that is because they're basically telling you that, listen, we got a search warrant the first time.
We found this evidence.
We got a search warrant the second time.
But the whole time pending the second search warrant, the vehicle was in a locked, secure location.
So it was preserved.
Okay.
They have to mention that to the judge.
That's why they keep repeating themselves on that.
That's why it's so important.
So CSI's Michael Kelly and Carol conducted a trajectory analysis using rods and string to determine flight path of the projectiles according to their analysis.
One of the projectiles entered the vehicle and struck the opposite side of the vehicle in a manner inconsistent with the vehicle being in motion.
Oh shit!
Oh shit!
The trajectory analysis determined the flight path of eight projectiles that entered from the rear left gate area and eight bullet flight pads had entered from the right passenger side.
Guys, in English, that basically means there was no way that the two victims could have been shot in a drive-by shooting the way Henry described based on the way the injuries happened and also on the way how the victims were sitting and where the bullets came from.
Okay?
They literally recreated the bullet trajectories to show that there's no way that Henry's story would have matched up.
Okay?
The vehicle was stopped.
Let's continue on.
On December 5th, 2018, I received the autopsy report for Williams.
Oh, Lord.
But wait, there's more.
It stated the wound path on the neck of Williams was from back to front, left to right, and upward.
This was in contradiction to what was stated that a drive-by occurred on the right side of the vehicle while in motion.
Williams also has a gunshot wound to his right shoulder and his chest.
It should be noted, none of the flight paths from the exterior of the vehicle match the wound path on the rear of Williams' head.
It was obvious the projectile entered from the left rear side of the vehicle.
And gentlemen, who was sitting in the left rear side of the vehicle from the surveillance footage from the music studio?
YW Melly.
Oh, shit!
Oh, shit!
And they have it on footage.
On December 14th, Dr. R. McDougall, assistant medical examiner, Broward County, examined the gray Jeep that was occupied by all parties involved at the time of the homicide.
The vehicle was maintained in a secure location since the incident.
So they had another medical examiner come in and look at it as well.
Then, January 11th, 2019, I received confirmation from the medical examiner's office that the entry wound on the left side of Thomas' face was an intermediate wound.
Remember, guys, Thomas was the guy that was sitting right next to Melly, the light-skinned guy sitting right next to Melly.
So Melly's back left passenger seat, and Thomas is sitting right next to him.
This is very important right now.
So they said there was an entry wound on the left side of Thomas' face was an immediate, it was an intermediate wound.
It should be noted, there was a three-centimeter stippling pattern around the entry wound.
This was also in contradiction to what Henry said to this affiend at the hospital when he attempted to mislead this affie into belief.
See, I wouldn't have put all this shit in here.
I would have said it was contrary to what he said.
You know, he's making a lot of conclusions in this affidavit.
I get it.
Like, they're lying to you, bro.
But, you know, this is the difference between the stay and the feds.
You just put the facts there.
Keep your conclusions out of it.
But he's right.
He ain't lying.
This evidence shows the initial lethal shot occurred from inside the vehicle and was initiated from the left rear passenger side, the same position occupied by Melly, aka Demons.
An intermediate wound, by definition, would indicate a distance of three inches to three feet between the victim and weapon.
However, due to a three-centimeter stippling pattern, the weapon was in close proximity to Thomas's head.
In English, that means around the wound when he was shot on the side of his face, there was a burn mark that can only be put there from getting shot at what?
Close range, guys.
There's no way a drive-by shooting is going to create stippling on the victim's wound.
The gunshot wounds to the back of Thomas also indicates these wounds were inflicted after he was shot in the head as the projectiles entered Thomas's back when he was leaning to the left.
So he gets shot, starts to slump, and they shoot him again.
All right.
Evidence from the autopsy revealed that both victims'wound patterns to their heads were from left to right.
Evidence from the autopsy revealed that both victims'wound patterns to their heads were from left to right.
Well, am I speaking English here or something?
Yeah, not right to left, left to right.
Melly was sitting in the left, guys, which they have evidence of from the cell phones and also from the video surveillance.
This directly contradicts statements made by Henry.
All right.
All right.
Lord.
The single shell casing that recovered from inside the vehicle on 102618 by CSI was sent to the Broward Sheriff's Office lab for comparison analysis.
Real quick, let me tell you guys something.
So smaller police departments like Miramar Police Department, et cetera, typically don't have the resources like a canine unit or a ballistic lab or a drug lab or anything like that.
So what they'll do is they'll send their stuff that they want analyzed to a bigger department's lab for analysis.
Okay.
You got the FBI.
You got the state.
So, in this case, because Miramar is located in Broward County County, there's Broward County Sheriff's Office, and then Miramar is a police department in Broward County, right?
It's a smaller police department.
So, they submit all their evidence to them for processing, okay?
Just so y'all know, because y'all are probably wondering, like, what the hell is BSO?
Broward County Sheriff's Office Lab.
The shell casing was compared to the shell casings that was recovered from the crime scene on Pembroke Road on 1121-2018.
The same scene was initially hidden from investigators.
So, guys, hold on.
Let me break this down for y'all.
Let me read the paragraph and then I'll break it down.
The same scene was initially hidden from investigators.
BSO lab concluded the single casing was a match to the casings recovered outside the vehicle.
This also contradicts statements made by this affiant of this being a drive-by shooting.
This evidence also shows that Thomas and Williams were shot inside the vehicle and the surviving occupants, Henry and Demons, the two defendants, exited vehicle and then intentionally shot into the vehicle from the exterior.
So, what was I going to say here?
There was something here that was very important.
Okay, so guys, remember how I told you they went to the real crime scene with the dog and they found that it was eight shell casings?
Guess what?
Those shell casings matched the shell casing that was in the vehicle right where Melly was sitting.
Oh, shit!
So they can conclude the same gun was used in the two locations.
Whew, okay.
But wait, there's more.
Okay, that was easy.
They do a search warrant on Melly's Snapchat account.
The warrant was reviewed and later approved by Judge Orlando.
The direct messaging of the Snapchat account of Demons revealed he was communicating with his girlfriend, Mariah Hamilton, 14 days after the homicide.
So two weeks after the homicide, and he goes, and I quote: This nigga saved my life.
He coming everywhere with me because if them crackers come grab him, it's my fault.
You forgot.
I keep Bortling because at the end of the day, he did one of the realest shit in my life.
Let's read that one more time.
This nigga saved my life.
He coming everywhere with me because if them crackers come grab him, it's my fault.
You forgot.
I keep Bortland Wick because at the end of the day, he did one of the realest shit, one of the realest shit in my life.
These are interesting statements as they are referring to Demons' loyalty in association with Henry.
They also suggest that Henry was loyal to him because he is the one who drove the bodies to the hospital and dealt with law enforcement.
These statements also support the belief by law enforcement that Demons is the shooter and the evidence leads back to him and any further cooperation by Henry would be damaging to demons.
This warrant also reveals there was no communication between demons and withers on 1026, as previously stated by law enforcement by Withers.
Oh, Lord.
So guys, let's get this straight.
Okay?
So Henry goes to the hospital by himself with the two bodies.
They die.
He tells the police, hey, we got shot over here.
Takes the police to said location.
No evidence is found.
Police get skeptical, interview witness Withers, aka Red Mitsubishi guy.
Hey, bro, where's Melly?
Oh, he was with me in my car.
Really?
Police go to music studio.
See that Melly actually got in the Jeep with Henry, which Henry never told the police that Melly got in the vehicle with him.
Then the police go back to Withers.
Hey, Red Mitsubishi guy.
We actually know that Melly was in the Jeep.
Why'd you lie?
Oh, well, I didn't lie.
We stopped on I-75 and he got in my car and we spoke over Snapchat.
So the police pull the cell phone stuff and show that Withers drove his Red Mitsubishi all the way fucking home, never stopped on I-75.
And then to put the nail in the coffin, they go through Melly's Snapchat conversations and see that he never had communication with Withers.
Oh my this is not good.
This is not good, bro.
Not good at all.
All right.
And I just want to make this very clear with y'all.
I'm a big YNW Melly fan.
I love his music, bro.
Actually, I listen to it all the time.
But this was bad.
Reading this stuff made me say, yo.
And we'll talk about what I think he should do at the end here.
But guys, you know what I'm saying?
At this point, they could potentially go after Withers for lying.
You know what I'm saying?
For false statements or tampering with evidence, whatever it is.
They could potentially go after Withers because Withers has provided, he's lied to the point where it would miss he purposely misdirected the investigation by lying and omitting facts.
Okay?
And they have him dead to rights.
They even pulled the Snapchat conversation and showed that he never even talked to this dude, as he stated when he said, Oh, I pulled over an I-75.
So they got the conversation showing Withers lied, and they got the phone information showing that Withers drove the whole time in his Mitsubishi and never stopped.
And the video footage showing that Melly never got in his car, as he stated originally.
Okay, let's keep going.
Oh man, this one is bad too.
On December 4th, 2018, Demons, in an effort to promote his music career, released a documentary on YouTube.
Throughout the 21-minute documentary, Demons glorified his use and possession of firearms.
Demons, this is Melly.
Demons said he's been carrying a gun since he was in fourth grade.
This is also consistent with the statements obtained during this investigation regarding demons always in possession of a firearm.
At the end of the documentary, the final screen displays these words.
Four days after the completion of this film, Wynne W. Melly and his friends were targets of the drive-by shooting in Miami, Florida.
This is significant as it also places demons at the scene of the crime in the vehicle with Henry Thomas and Williams.
Fatality.
Let me show y'all this real quick.
Man, this is not good.
This is not good.
This is the video that they're talking about, guys.
I'm going to pull it up for y'all right now.
Where is it?
Oh, here we go.
This is it.
This is the documentary in question.
YW Melly, official documentary released December.
Where the hell is the date?
It doesn't show for some weird reason.
But it was released on December 4th, right?
Let me subscribe.
Don't forget to like the video, by the way.
So, yeah, guys, so this is at the 2024 mark.
He puts four days after the completion of this film.
YW Melly and his friends were the targets of a drive-by shooting in Miami, Florida.
YW Juvia and YW Sack Chaser were killed.
And I don't want to play the video because I don't know if it's copyright, but here are with his friends.
Let me play it.
I'm not going to play it.
I'm just going to show you guys his two buddies that he was with because there's like a still shot of them all standing together.
Oh, okay.
I am not going to play this bad boy.
I'm just going to.
There we go.
So here he is with his two friends.
Okay.
So that there's Chuvy right there, and there's Sack Chaser.
And if you guys notice, he has a red bandana on his shirt or his camouflage thingy.
He is a blood gang member, which is another reason why they're going after him so hard.
All right.
But Sack Chaser is here.
Chuvy's here.
Those are the two victims.
All right.
So, and this is a documentary the police were talking about.
Now, the reason why this is so important, guys, is because remember, at this point, everyone is doing everything in their power to lie and say Melly was not at the scene.
Okay?
So this documentary didn't help.
All right.
Let's keep reading.
All right.
All right.
So here we go.
They summarize it.
In summary, the following information supports the findings of probable cause, included but not limited to false statements made by Henry at the hospital, false statements made by witnesses involved.
Others to intentionally mislead this investigation.
Aka, the guy Withers I told you about, Red Mitsubishi guy.
Demons fleeing the area, not cooperating, refusing to give a statement.
Yeah, you can't really use that against him, but I get it.
It's probable cause.
And manager of demons, Jameson Frankoyce, intentionally misleading this investigator, giving false statements stating he doesn't know where his client is.
Presently located later discovered that Frankoy was in communication with demons and even drove him out of the area after the shooting.
Okay.
So remember how at 4:32, guys, Bortland took the bodies.
He drove away and took the bodies to the hospital.
Melly got out the car right before, and his manager picked him up from that area right near where the killing happened.
It was later determined by cell phone records that Demon and Williams were in this location determined to be the actual crime scene, which is isolated from individuals passing by and potential witnesses to murder.
Cell phone evidence indicated that Demons was dropped off prior to Henry arriving at the hospital.
The autopsy report shows the wound path for both victims' head wounds was from left to right direction.
Shell casing inside the vehicle matched the casing on the outside of the vehicle.
Evidence shows Williams and Thomas, the victims, were shot inside the vehicle and the rounds came from the left rear passenger side of the vehicle, subsequently occupied by Melly, as they proved with the video surveillance footage.
The crime scene was intentionally staged to appear the vehicle was involved in a drive-by shooting.
Video evidence shows Henry changed his clothes, but the original shirt worn by Henry had a bloodstained pattern in it.
In an interview with the mother and girlfriend of Demons, this is also important, guys.
Both stated that after the shooting, Demons called them via FaceTime and stated he was the victim of a drive-by shooting and his two friends were killed, thus placing him at the scene at the time of the incident.
The mother of Demons' girlfriend also stated when she witnessed a FaceTime call, it appeared Demons was outside in hiding, waiting to be picked up.
Oh, Lord.
This is also consistent with the cell phone records of Demons.
It should be noted that Demons was in possession of his phone before the incident, during the incident, and after the incident.
This was also corroborated by cell phone records obtained in this case.
But wait, guys, there's more.
So let me show you guys this right here so you guys can get a diagram of how this happened.
Okay, so this is the vehicle, right?
This is the Jeep.
As you guys can see, you got the driver, Wynne W. Bortland, aka Henry Cortland Henry.
You got Melly in the back left seat, and then you got the right front passenger, Wynne W Sack Chaser, aka Anthony Williams, and then you got the other victim, Christopher Thomas, in the back right seat.
Okay, this is how they were sitting in the vehicle.
Now, also, guys, they got new evidence.
All right.
Let's see here.
I took a lot of notes on this, man.
And, guys, while I pull this up, guys, like the video, man.
I hope you guys are enjoying this bad boy because this was crazy to go through.
Oh, and by the way, so y'all are wondering.
Well, I'll talk about the trial in a second here.
Here, I wrote this down.
So, guys, so they ended up getting Melly's phone, the police, okay?
And what they found on the phone, right, was some pretty damning evidence, okay?
Um, and what they found was Melly basically kind of gave a dry confession, all right?
And he says, and I'm trying to get the quote for y'all.
Um, hold on, I have it here somewhere.
I wrote it down.
Uh, uh, defense.
Okay, here we go.
So, they found video on Melly's phone, okay, a month after the shooting, all right, because they were able to get the phone.
It took them a while, but they got the phone from his manager, Frank Coy, Melly's manager, right?
And he goes, There's no regrets for the shit that I did for that nigga to die.
And then he goes, he does a gun motion like this to his head, and he throws up a blood gang sign.
Say that again for y'all a month after the murder, makes a video, goes, There's no regrets for the shit that I did for that nigga to die while making a gun motion to his head with a blood gang sign, and then it's the video.
Whew, man, guys, this is not, this is uh, yeah.
Let me see here if there's anything else I wanted to show you guys.
Let's see here.
Um, hold on, I'm gonna pull it up for y'all right now.
Okay, so here it is from the actual affidavit.
I'll just share the screen with y'all.
Let me hit stop screen share.
All right, show this to y'all right now because this is crazy too, man.
Puts his head in the shape of a gun, like pulling the trigger, throws up a blood sign, and then says both of them never say when.
So, the interesting part of this video is it was one month to the day after the shootings occurred on October 26th.
This video was on Mr. Demons' cell phone, which was brought to my office by Jamison Frank Coy, and that's how we had that.
And that was his, that's his manager.
Man, now, also, so this is what's going on here.
Let me tell you guys how serious this stuff is that they got going on.
So, here we go.
In the circuit court of the 17th Judicial District in and for Broward County, Florida, state of Florida versus Jamal Demons, aka YW Melly, states notice of intent to seek death penalty.
The state of Florida, buying through an undersigned assistant state attorney, files its notice of intent to seek the death penalty filed pursuant to Florida rules of criminal procedure, right?
And they want to get the death penalty against Jamal Demons and hereby gives written notice of same in compliance with Florida statute, okay?
And remember, guys, the reason why is because they're trying to get him on premeditated murder, okay?
Murder one, which is the highest degree, all right?
Because they're basically alleging that he planned to do this, okay?
So let's open this up.
So y'all see.
So, guys, do me a quick favor real fast.
Number one, like the video, okay?
Because I sacrificed a boat with a bunch of hoes for y'all to put this together.
Okay.
How many likes do we got right now?
Let me refresh this bad boy.
Let's see here.
We got 2,400 of y'all in here.
You guys could be anywhere else in the world, but you're here with me.
So I'm happy that you guys are here.
The sacrifice flopped.
Okay, big C views.
Thanks.
Anyway.
So anyway.
So the trial.
So just so y'all know, Melly has pled not guilty.
Him and his co-defendant, Bortland, have both pled not guilty.
All right.
Bortland got out on bond, but I think he got put back in because he violated.
I think he went to like a strip club when he wasn't supposed to.
I think he went to King of Diamonds or something like that, and they arrested him again.
Right?
So the trial is set for March 7th, 2022.
If Melly goes to trial and actually goes through with this, I predict he's going to lose.
You guys just saw the evidence, right?
Obviously, it's a very strong, it's a very circumstantial case, but y'all can see that the circumstances pretty much paint a picture that there's no other, there's nothing else that could have happened.
You know what I'm saying?
Like that was that the way the state is going to try to show the case is they're going to recreate every event in trial to show that there was no other potential situation that could have happened.
And then the biggest thing they're going to do is they're going to attack Henry's character for lying and they're going to attack the witnesses, okay?
To show they purposely misled the investigation because this is what really happened.
Okay?
So, guys, I mean, you know, I mean, hell, you know what?
There's 2,500 of y'all in here right now.
You guys just saw the case.
Okay?
Let's be objective.
If you are on the jury, because remember, you're judged by a peer of 12 of your peers, right?
That's what a jury trial is.
You're judged by 12 year peers.
If you guys think he's guilty, if you were sitting on the jury, give me a one.
If you guys think he's innocent, give me a two.
One for guilty, two for innocent.
One for guilty, two for innocent.
Y'all just saw the case.
I broke it down for y'all.
Give me a one if you think he's guilty, two if you think he's innocent.
Let's see.
Yep.
Overwhelming ones.
Overwhelming ones.
So yeah, guys, I see a couple of twos, but it's almost overwhelming ones.
So what do you guys think the jury is going to think?
Y'all are citizens listening to this case right now.
I just gave y'all all the facts.
So what is a reasonable person going to say?
They're going to say guilty, bro.
They're going to say guilty.
So he's not beating this.
There's no way.
There's no way.
The case, and here's the other thing, too.
Just so y'all know, the case, I mean, the state is right now trying to get his DNA.
And on top of that, to show that he was on the scene, even though it's pretty much established that he was on the scene now at this point with the phones and everything, but they want to put it, they really want to solidify.
They're trying to get his DNA, and they're also trying to take his measurements.
And the reason why they want to take his body measurements is they want to recreate.
They're going to bring ballistics experts at everything, and they're going to recreate the entire murder at trial.
Okay?
That's their intent.
That's what the state's going to do.
They're going to show his story, right?
How it's not probable.
And then they're going to recreate everything and show this is what really happened.
That's what the state intends to do.
So, and that's set for the seventh.
So let's look at the pros and cons of both sides.
So on the state, they have a very strong case, guys.
They got ballistics.
They got phone information that is indisputable.
Okay.
That puts them at the locations.
Okay.
They got, let's see here.
They got conflicting testimony.
Right.
They got autopsy reports that show that there was no way that they could have gotten shot by the right side, as Henry was saying.
Dude, yeah.
You know, the autopsy, the ballistics information, the phone information, the discrepancy in stories, the lying.
They have a very, very strong circumstantial case.
Very strong.
And here's the other thing, too.
Okay.
I need y'all to understand that you can convict someone on circumstantial stuff.
And they have phone information.
The Snapchat conversations.
They have the videos with ambiguous confessions.
Like, they have a lot of information, guys.
All right.
And this is the state.
The state did a really good job here.
All right.
Now, what are the cons?
Well, they don't have the murder weapon, right?
The state does not have the murder weapon.
And the state also does not have witnesses.
Okay.
So those are two weak things.
They don't have the murder weapon and they don't have the witnesses.
And they don't really have a strong motive.
Okay.
So there's some rumors.
There's two main rumors of the motive here.
But I want to make it clear.
You don't need a motive to prove a murder case.
Okay.
You don't need it at all.
A lot of the times it's nice to have it because with premeditated murder, you're trying to establish that he intended to do this for some kind of reason.
But the two reasons the state is going to say is one is they're going to say it's financial because they're all a part of YMW and killing them would have definitely allowed Melly to make more money from his music because he would have less people to split it up with.
And then the second thing they're going to say is that YNW Shuvi, or no, sorry, Sack Chaser, the darker skinned individual, had some kind of argument with Melly's mom.
Okay?
Like there was some kind of dispute and he had apparently had said some disrespectful things or whatever.
And Melly's mom got on video and said, my son has big guns, blah, blah, blah.
Because there was some kind of disagreement.
So it could have been, it could have been that.
You know what I'm saying?
It could have been the financial thing or that.
But the motive isn't really clear-cut yet.
We're going to see a trial.
So yeah.
Let's see here.
And also, so this is what I think that the, so we know what the, what the what the state's going to do.
They're going to recreate the event.
What the defense is going to do is they're probably going to do this.
They're going to attack the detectives, right?
They're going to, so, so, anytime you have a trial, guys, um, what the defense likes to do all the time is they attack the investigators.
So let's say you got an investigator that was, you know, caught lying one time.
AK, you call it Giglio, which is like, you know, when someone isn't, when a sworn officer isn't credible or he's lied before, which was basically the worst.
Once you get found to have lied or anything like that or lack of candor or whatever, that's immediately going to disqualify you as a witness.
So the defense is definitely going to attack the detectives, right?
Character.
So any type of internal investigations they might have had or whatever, they're going to bring all that shit up because the prosecution has to disclose every single witness and give their background so the defense can properly cross-examine them, okay, in trial, right?
And then what they're also going to do is they're going to attack, probably, they're going to try to attack the phone evidence and they're going to probably try to say, like, you know, I don't know how they're going to do this, but they're going to potentially try to say, oh, Melly wasn't in possession of his phone and he wasn't there.
He left his phone in the car or something like that.
You know, which next time if you guys want to commit a murder, put your, do not bring your phone with you.
All right.
Put that shit on a, leave that shit at home or put it like, you know, on a train or something like that.
You know what I'm saying?
Tape it to, you know, shout out to my guy Bruce Rivers.
He talked about this on No Jump.
It was hilarious.
You know, tape it to like the bottom of the sea and just like let the train go.
So you could say, hey, I was on this train at the time.
You know, you got an alibi.
What else here?
And then, and then the other thing, too, is they don't have, they don't have Bortland testifying.
So that's kind of a strong, that's a strong point for the defense.
They don't have someone that's going to directly contradict Melly because it looks like to me that Bortland's going to stay solid.
But man, the stakes are crazy.
Like, I would be surprised if he didn't end up testifying because remember, guys, he didn't actually pull the trigger.
He didn't actually shoot anything.
You know, they did the gunshot test and they couldn't find any residue on his hands.
Right.
And then on top of that, they had another witness come forward and say that he was with them.
Fredo Bang and a couple of the other guys, they actually went and like, not Freddo Bank.
Sorry, like a couple of their friends, they went and got the murder weapons and disposed of them.
The manager disposed of the murder weapons.
My bad, yeah.
Melly's manager disposed of the murder weapons.
And there's a witness saying that.
So, man, so I'd be surprised if Bortland didn't flip because he's going to do, he's going to, he's going to potentially get life in prison or the death penalty.
Let's see here.
What else here?
So yeah, those are those are the pros and cons of each side.
And then just so y'all know, they're going to push really hard on Melly because he's an alleged gang member, which is a big reason why they're also pushing on here.
So, okay, let's open it up for questions.
I hope you guys enjoyed that breakdown of the case.
But yeah, yeah, guys, that is why I am very concerned.
I think his best bet is he's going to have to just plead guilty and like maybe try to plead insanity or something like that because he is documented as having, you know, he's said that he's had six personalities, whatever.
But it's not easy to claim insanity, bro.
Let's see here.
No question.
This done.
Yeah.
Let's see here.
Any, I'm going to, I'm looking through the chat, guys, to see if anyone had any questions.
Goes, Bortland been out a minute, pretty sure he told.
It's potentially.
Yeah, it took them a while to go to trial on this.
I think it's because they're doing a lot of depositions, which a deposition guy is basically when you bring the witness in, you swear them in, and then they give their testimony and it's recorded, right?
And you can use that in trial, but that's not common.
It's very uncommon to do that.
So I thought that was kind of weird.
Question: If I catch a third gun charge possession and make bond, do I have time to get my gun lights for the indictment to get it thrown out?
No, because if you're under most states will not let you purchase a firearm if you've been indicted by a grand jury for a felony.
So, yeah, because when you buy a gun, what happens is the FFL, whoever you're buying the gun from, they're going to run a criminal background check on you.
And when they run a criminal background check on you, they're going to see that you had been arrested for a felony.
And if you're formally charged by a grand jury, I'm almost certain that most states will not let you buy a gun.
And if you're a convicted felon, they definitely won't let you buy a gun.
As a matter of fact, you shouldn't even be in a gun store if you're a convicted felon.
That will get you in trouble big time.
And do not go to the shooting range.
Guys, if you have a felony conviction, do not go to the shooting range.
I've seen it many times where a dude that's been convicted of a felony goes to the shooting range thinking, oh, it's all good.
Like, I'm just shooting and having fun.
No, bro.
They can still get you for felon and possession of a firearm federally.
Okay?
Don't do it.
All right.
Because sometimes they don't go ahead and do a background check on you when you go shoot.
Let's see here.
Any other questions?
Yeah, I see y'all laughing.
Okay, let me see here.
Let's go through.
What's the defense going to be?
Bro, the only thing the defense can really say is they're going to have to try to disprove that Melly was there.
And they're going to have to try to articulate that someone else shot them.
No murder weapon, no evidence.
If he has a good-ass lawyer, this is going to be a tough one for the prosecutor.
No, bro.
No, that's why even though they don't have a murder weapon and they don't have video evidence, the circumstantial evidence they have is extremely strong because together it paints a story that there was no other logical that there was no other logical situation that could have happened, especially.
And the thing that makes this worse, guys, is that all the witnesses grossly lied.
You understand?
So that's going to be shown.
That's going to be used as well.
That even though they don't have their murder weapon and no video evidence, the witnesses did a terrible job of trying to cover it up.
So that's going to make the circumstantial evidence even stronger because it 1,000% contradicts their story.
Does that make sense?
That's why this case is so strong is because it literally just smacks the shit out of their stories.
Wither, Bortland, et cetera.
And Melly, from what I understand, never gave a statement.
He didn't say shit to the cops.
So, you know, yeah, man, I got y'all, man.
Do a killery.
Y'all are hilarious.
What about blood splatter analysis?
Not also, will that make the case stronger?
No.
Yeah, the ballistic evidence is what's going to make the case very strong as well.
Because the autopsies, coupled with the ballistic evidence, shows that they could not have been shot on the side of the vehicle that Henry claimed with a drive-by shooting.
The bullets came from the left side of the vehicle.
And remember, the detectives saw Melly with a satchel weighed down on the video on the surveillance footage.
And Melly, to his own admission, in his documentary and in his music, says all the time, I'm always armed.
You know, and he has an infatuation with firearms.
So that's all going to be used against him.
All that's going to be used against him.
This is what the prosecution is going to do.
They're going to paint Melly as a violent gang member that killed his friends for monetary reasons to not have to split as much money in YNW.
And then they're also going to say that he is erratic and killed his friends because one of them disrespected his mom.
That's how they're going to try to paint Melly as a lunatic, right?
Crazy enough to understand, like, obviously what he's doing is wrong, but not crazy to the point where he can claim insanity and get a defense.
Okay?
So that's what they're going to say.
And they're going to also say that the fact, the reason why they're going after them for premeditated murder is because they shot the car up, right?
They sat the car in a secluded area, shot the car up to try to illustrate a story that they got hit with a drive-by, which is going to make them say, which basically is like, yo, these guys took overt acts, right, to try to dissuade us from knowing the truth.
So they planned this shit.
It was premeditated.
So that's what it is.
So where does reasonable doubt play in?
I mean, reasonable doubt, bro, is like basically if the defense can stir up and show that Melly wasn't at the scene and that, you know, someone else was potentially the shooter.
But that's going to be tough, bro.
That's going to be tough because they have Melly on footage in the vehicle and they have sell site data showing that he was there until three minutes before Bortland went to the hospital.
And on top of that, his own family said that they got a FaceTime call from him and it looked like he was outside.
And the investigators are smart.
They probably didn't tell them what they had.
They just said, hey, on the day of the shooting, did Melly contact you?
And they probably answered the question thinking like, oh, yeah, he did.
He was in an area where it was wooded or whatever.
Because remember, the family doesn't think that he shot his friends.
The family's going to just say what happened.
So they're going to say, oh, yeah, he was in the woods.
He seemed really scared.
You know, he's saying, come pick me up, blah, blah, blah.
Whatever.
Because they don't know the truth.
They're going to go off what Melly says.
Think about it.
Your son comes and tells you, oh, I got hit with a drive-by shoot.
You ain't going to be like, nah, bro, you killed your friends.
They're going to believe him.
So they're going to think that he really was out in the woods, like scared.
But that was bad because that's what the detectives wanted.
They wanted the family to tell him, oh, no, he was in this area.
Which, what?
It corresponds with the cell phone data that they have.
All right, let's see here.
They also don't have a witness.
Remember, guys, witnesses aren't necessary.
I'm telling y'all, the circumstantial evidence is damning.
Like, what I foresee happening is, I wouldn't take this to trial.
If I was Melly, I would not take this to trial.
If he takes this to trial, he's going to get the death penalty.
Remember, guys, he's got to get found guilty by his own peers.
And I just asked y'all, what do you guys think?
And overwhelming, the chat was like, this dude guilty.
i think murder on my mind came out before the murder uh let's see here I'm just going through here, making sure you see what questions you guys have.
Myron, were they able to check them for gun residue on his person?
Yeah, they checked Henry only.
They didn't check Melly.
Because Melly, obviously, he got out the car.
And if they had gotten Melly right after, that's why Melly didn't go to the hospital, guys.
Melly's not stupid.
He didn't go to the hospital with Henry because he was the shooter.
You know what I'm saying?
So they would have found the DNA on him, the blood splatter, and they would have done gun residue on his hands and they would have found it.
That's why he didn't go to the hospital.
Since Myron, since iMessage is different than SMS text message and does not get sent to your cell phone provider, do you think that could be discoverable even after being deleted?
Yes, it can, bro.
Remember, guys, these companies, right?
So what happens is if I want to get a conversation, let's say you had a conversation on Instagram and I know it.
I could send a preservation letter to Instagram.
Hey, I need y'all to preserve communication on this day at this time between these two accounts.
They'll preserve it, and then I'll go ahead and get a search warrant for that conversation or subpoena, depending on how invasive I'm going to be.
But I always say get a search warrant.
So, so yeah.
And they were able to do that with Snapchat, which gave damning evidence.
You know, it proved Withers was lying, aka Red Mitsubishi guy.
And it proved that they never actually stopped on I-75.
And it showed the conversation he had with his girl, which also had a very strange take on it.
Talking about how Cortland is loyal to him.
He's a man.
He did the realest shit for him, et cetera.
All of this together paints a picture, guys.
King Vaughn, what case do you want me to break down for King Vaughn?
KI, the KI thing?
Let's see here.
Melly had instant regret.
He spilled beans on himself.
Yeah.
Yeah, the fact people lied to protect them.
Yeah, they're going to use that as well.
That's definitely going to come in.
You know?
Yeah.
This is Connoisseur of Cars and Tick Old Biddies.
Yeah, that is one of the potential motives.
Oh, Malcolm Stuckey for Vaughan.
Yeah, that one is pretty.
Everyone knows that one.
But yeah, I could potentially do that one.
Let's see here.
Let's see here.
Torrey Lanes.
I could potentially do that one.
Myron, does airplane mode.
Let's see.
Oh, yo, Ghislaine Maxwell, bro.
I called it on Timcast.
I was like, bro, guys, she's going to get found guilty.
Like, it's a wrap for her.
And they were like, no, bro, she's not going to get found guilty.
And I was like, bro, the feds do not lose.
And it's a southern district in New York, a sex trafficking case, bro.
Oh, shit.
Literally, it's just.
It's a wrap, bro.
It's a wrap.
It's a wrap.
Queso for Young and Ace.
Okay.
Yeah, we could do that one too.
Yeah, they got him dead to rights.
He's doing life in prison, that dude.
For killing Bibby, aka Fulio's brother.
Yeah, that was not smart.
But yeah, I could do the Epstein and Maxwell case for y'all.
You know, I don't have to just do hip-hop cases.
I could definitely do that.
And honestly, to be honest with you guys, federal cases are easier for me because I know how the federal system works.
I mean, I'm obviously very aware of the state system too, but the state is different with a lot of things.
But this was a very strong state case.
Holy crap.
Like, I could see, okay, y'all want Push Ice T. I could do Push Ice T as well because the Push Ice T one, I didn't get to break down everything on that one when I did academics.
We kind of like, you know, surmised it quickly.
So would passing a lie detector test help his case?
Not really.
Lie detectors aren't admitted in court.
Let's see here.
Casanova 2S.
Oh, man.
Guys, that Casanova one is not good, bro.
That one is not good.
But I could do that one too.
K-Flock.
K-Flock, I'm going to do next week, guys.
I'm just waiting on one more piece of information.
He has a court hearing.
I want to make sure I get that information.
And then I'm also waiting on some, I'm trying to get some reports.
Oblock, I could definitely do that one.
They're done too.
That one is bad.
Myron, does airplane mode work to confuse a search warrant?
No, it does not, gentlemen.
No, it does not.
Because all the data is still going to be on the device.
And they can pull deleted information from your phone because it leaves metadata on there.
Melly's manager, any charges?
No, but I would not be surprised if they try to go after him.
Because he definitely there is a case for impeding an investigation.
You know, between him lying to the police about where Melly was, being reluctant to give the phone over, all that shit.
Yes, they can definitely still pull Snapchat messages after you delete those, guys.
Let's see here.
Why the fuck can't I send a super chat?
Guys, I just got monetized.
So the super chat should be coming in.
Hopefully, I don't know, sometime this week, I should be able to do it.
Shout out to Myron.
It's dope, how you built your old job, but still using your expertise for the people.
I got y'all, man.
I got y'all.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's why I wanted to read the affidavit with you guys alongside and let you guys kind of see where the detectives' mindsets were at when they did each piece of investigation.
You know what I'm saying?
Because a lot of people read this stuff, but they don't really know the mindset of the investigator.
And as I was reading it, I was like, okay, this detective was probably pissed off that they kept lying to him.
He was like, oh, really?
Okay.
Let me do a search warrant with T-Mobile.
Oh, really?
Let me search the car twice.
He did two search warrants for the same goddamn car and he put ballistic experts in there, bro.
Yo, they're not going to do that unless they got like a serious, you know what I'm saying?
Because this is a high-profile case, guys.
It's a high-profile case.
They're a small police department.
So they got time today.
You know what I'm saying?
Let's see here.
Let's see.
Let's see.
Do a little 10 for Quando Rondo.
Nah, bro.
He ain't going to, bro.
He's going to.
They're not going to get him for murder on that one.
That's a legit self-defense case.
That's a legit self-defense case.
I seriously doubt Lil Tim's going to do any time for that one.
And guys, we got 2,500 of y'all watching.
Can y'all get me to 2,000 likes, please?
Get the likes up, bro.
Because preparing this thing was tough.
It took a lot of time.
There was this one chick on the boat, bro, that kept bothering me, bro.
And I just kept telling, like, I told her, yo, leave me alone.
It was annoying as hell.
So like the video for that.
I'm a paralegal.
Tell me about the thing.
I'm like, bro, just leave me alone.
No one care.
You're a paralegal.
Get the fuck out of here.
Let's see here.
What makes Melly's case unbeatable compared to OJ's Kitchen, which was obvious he did it?
Well, you guys got to remember, the reason why the OJ case, why OJ won, was because the OJ case, let me just sum this up for y'all real quick.
Hold on.
Quick little tangent on OJ case.
The reason why OJ beat that case wasn't necessarily because the evidence was weak.
The evidence was damning.
The reason why OJ beat that case was because one of the main detectives on the case had character issues.
And they were able to prove that he lied and he wasn't a credible witness.
So what the defense did was they attacked the evidence, right?
And they attacked the officer's character.
And they were able to show that they weren't credible.
And that's how they're able to beat the case.
And then the glove also helped significantly.
So that's why.
But remember, bro, they didn't have cell site information back then.
This is 1995, guys.
Okay?
If they had the cell phone stuff they have now, back then OJ would be in prison, my friend.
He would have probably been executed by now.
Well, does California have executed?
I don't know if California has a death penalty still.
I think they still do.
Or at least back then they did.
Guys, they have cell phone data putting Melly at the scene.
Okay?
If they had that for OJ, it would have been a wrap.
Not only do they have the cell phone info, Melly himself admitted in his video, yeah, we got shot at.
Like, man, that is definitely like definitely a big L, man.
That's a man.
So, so that's why.
Yeah, because you asked about the OJ case.
That's why OJ beat it, bro.
They didn't have the technology that they have now, the sophisticated technology to do cell phone triangulation to put you at a location.
Let me tell y'all something, bro.
When they do a cell phone warrant or whatever, we're talking only a couple hundred meters of certainty.
Like, it is close.
It is, like, almost down to the goddamn foot of how you are.
They can pretty much pinpoint where you are.
Okay?
So that's why OJ beat that case.
The technology wasn't sophisticated enough to put him at the scene at the time.
And the police officers had issues.
So Johnny Cochran was able to discredit the police officers, attack the evidence from said discredited police officers, and they couldn't put OJ at the scene.
R. Kelly case, I could break that one down.
R. Kelly's done, though.
R. Kelly's done.
Federal sex trafficking case, it's a wrap, guys, on that one.
You know what I'm saying?
God respects Martin Martin.
Thank you so much, man.
OJ ain't doing.
Come on, bro.
If that OJ case happened in today's day and age, OJ would be done, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
With the cell phones.
Like, when it comes to the technology, guys, it's indisputable.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, cell phones and everything else like that, the Snapchat conversations, all that stuff, like, bro, it's indisputable.
It's in stone.
It's solid.
That piece of evidence stands on its own.
You know, it's extremely strong.
What if there are multiple cell towers?
The more cell towers, the better.
The more cell towers, the more they're able to accurately show where you are.
So more cell towers, the worse for you, as far as you trying to say where you're at.
It pinpoints you even better.
And 100 meters is a lot, though.
It doesn't matter.
It shows that he was in the general area, guys.
That's the most important thing.
They can establish he was in the area.
And it was with very fair certainty, right?
They were able to establish three minutes before he went to the hospital.
He got out the car.
That's insane.
let's see here uh let's see here um YFN Lucci, I could do that one.
Omni and Hellcare, I could do that one too.
That one's a federal case.
From me reading it, here's the thing with the Omni case.
And I'll give you guys a quick little thing.
So basically what they're going after him for is like intellectual property theft, right?
Basically piracy.
And it's not the piracy that's going to get him, guys.
It's the money laundering that's going to hurt him the most, okay?
Because what they're going to establish is, because remember, I ain't going to lie to y'all.
I've investigated piracy myself, right?
Piracy is like no one gives a fuck about piracy, bro.
Like if you bring a piracy case to the prosecutors, nine out of 10 times they're going to be like, I don't want this.
You know what I'm saying?
Like this is not sexy.
The sentencing guidelines aren't high enough.
Like it has to be egregious, like million dollars plus for them to take a piracy case like seriously.
And you'd have to like identify an organization.
It's got to be a very sexy case for them to take a piracy case, right?
So the fact that the feds took a piracy case already had me like.
And then on top of that, it was the FBI that did it.
HSI, the guys I used to work for, they're the ones that are the premier agency when it comes to piracy, not the FBI.
The FBI does piracy every now and then, but like HSI does way more piracy than them, right?
So the reason why they're going after him, though, for piracy is because they really want to go after him for what?
Money laundering.
Okay, guys?
So money laundering occurs when you basically get money from an illicit activity, right, and move it around.
And what they're going to do is the only reason they're using piracy is because it's technically illegal.
So they're going to use piracy as their prerequisite crime to prove the money laundering.
So all his money was ill-gained in the eyes of the government, and they want to take it.
So they need to establish piracy, right?
Because I know he was like doing something with fire sticks.
And I'll read the case more and give y'all more, but I know that overall is basically going after him for piracy with fire sticks.
He made a lot of money doing that.
And they're going to go after him for the money laundering from the fire sticks because it's piracy.
That's where the feds are going to try to get him.
They don't give a fuck about the piracy.
It's the money laundering they want so that they can seize his assets, his bank accounts, and everything else because he made a lot of money, guys.
So that's why they're going to go after him.
So if his defense attorney can protect him from the piracy charge, the money laundering ain't going to stand.
All right?
That's what it is.
They need to, you need to prove money laundering, you need something called the SUA, specified unlawful activity, whether it's drug trafficking, piracy, fraud, whatever it is.
They need to establish a prerequisite crime to prove the money laundering.
So his defense needs to be able to show that the piracy charge they're coming at him with is not in fact illegal.
So that's going to be what's going to be important for the Omni case.
Do you know that confession video was actually Melly singing a Kevin Gates song?
It doesn't matter, bro.
Because like I said before, remember, guys, I said this at the top of the broadcast.
Circumstantial evidence is weak by itself, but when you put it with other pieces of circumstantial evidence, it snowballs and becomes more and more powerful.
And right now, the prosecution, like I told y'all, they're getting Melly's DNA, right?
They just sent a court order for Melly's DNA, and then they also are getting his measurements, which I'm not mistaken.
Last I checked, the judge approved them to get his measurements.
So they're going to recreate the scene, put someone with his size and body weight in a vehicle, right?
And they're going to impersonate it in the courtroom for the jury to see that there was no other way that those two victims could have died other than the fact that they were shot point-blank range in a vehicle from the inside, not the outside, compounding with the cell phone data and everything else.
So they're going to use it.
Even though it's a weak confession on its own, it's very powerful and damning compared with all the other information.
That's how the state is going to do this.
Circumstantial evidence is very powerful if used with other pieces of circumstantial evidence.
Caught a case over fire sticks.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Yo, Myron, this shit is fire.
Keep it up.
I got y'all, man.
I love y'all, man.
X case.
We could talk about that.
I mean, that one has slammed shut, bro.
They got him.
He's done.
They got his killers.
Have you ever been in any crazy shootouts when you were working with HSI?
No, but I did get very close a bunch of times.
And I'll talk about that.
I'll do some case breakdowns for you guys that I did.
I got a lot, man.
I got a lot of cool case stories for y'all.
But that will be for another episode.
Myron, do a breakdown of TV shows like The Wire, Breaking Bad, etc.
Yeah, for sure.
I could do that.
Breaking Bad is one of my favorite shows, and so is Sons of Anarchy.
Can a felon carry a gun in Texas asking for a friend?
Okay, so Texas, Texas has some of the best gun laws, the most lax gun laws in the country.
And by the way, Tim, I love you, but you were wrong about needing a permit to buy a gun in Texas, bro.
You don't.
I went back and double-checked because you were saying you need a permit to buy a gun in Texas.
I was like, I don't think that's right.
And he was like, no, no.
He was very adamant about it.
That's actually incorrect.
You do not need a permit to buy a gun in Texas.
So check this out.
Story time real fast.
So I was doing a big drug case back in 2015, right?
And one of my main targets, the guy that we're investigating, his cousin, okay, was not necessarily involved in the drug trafficking organization, but he was aware of his cousin's criminal activity.
So the state, right, had done a search warrant at his house for something else, right?
And they found guns at his house.
I knew one of the state investigators because he also worked with DEA, right, as a task force officer.
I broke down what task force officers are for you guys on the last episode.
Go feel free to check that out.
And I put time stamps in it.
So he calls me and says, hey, I know you're looking at this guy.
We just found a gun in his house and he's a felon.
Okay?
This is in Texas.
So I'm like, all right, nice.
So I call my buddy over at ATF, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives.
They're the primary agency tasked with doing firearms investigations.
Right.
And we go out, we seize the gun, right?
And we start to build a case to go after him for felon and possession.
Because this guy, if I'm not mistaken, had a felony conviction for DUI.
He had caught like five DUIs, which in the state of Texas, your third DUI is a felony.
He had like five of them.
Don't ask me.
Anyway.
So we bring the case to the prosecutor because we wanted to arrest this guy because, like I told you before, he was a cousin of a drug trafficker that we were looking at.
We wanted to turn him into an informant.
So we wanted to put charges on him so that he would cooperate.
And I also break down the differences, guys, between cooperating witnesses, confidential informants, and source of information on my other episode.
So I go to the prosecutor.
I'm like, yo, we want to go after him.
And the prosecutor's like, yeah, bro, we won't be able to charge him.
And I was like, what?
He's a felon.
He's a possessor of a firearm.
And the prosecutor tells me, listen, I know we can go after him federally, but the state of Texas, apparently, after five years of a felony conviction, you can have a gun in your house.
And I was like, wait, what?
So, according to the prosecutor, at least, because he didn't want to prosecute, I don't know if this was CAP or whatever.
He's a good prosecutor.
He told me, after five years of your felony conviction and being off probation, in the state of Texas, you can still have a gun in your home for protection.
So there you go, man.
Shout out to Texas.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
So, so, yeah.
So to answer your question, can felons carry a gun in Texas?
Not carry it, but you can probably keep it in your house if you've had it for if it's been five years past your thing.
But don't quote me on that.
Double check.
Double check.
But I wouldn't be surprised because Texas has very, okay, Swad Rico say in seven years.
Okay.
Yeah, but I know that basically Texas has very lax gun laws and it is what it is.
So I wouldn't be surprised if it's five or seven years.
Has an informant ever disappeared?
Yeah, of course, bro.
Hey, Myron, what's it like working with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Canada Border Services Agency?
AKCBSA.
Yo, fantastic.
I did a really good case with them right before I resigned.
I'll tell y'all about the case.
It's done now.
We arrested the main guy, but I'll do a breakdown on that case that I did with RCMP.
I did a really big human smuggling case that incorporated a lot of international Nexus with Turks and Caicos Island Police, Royal Police Force, RCMP, and CBSA.
It was a really good case.
I'll break that down for y'all on another episode.
I'll do like, I might do it where I do like one case a week and then I'll break down one famous case for y'all and then I'll do one like memory lane case story with like Myron or some shit like that.
Maybe I'll do two streams where I do that for you guys.
Let me know what you guys want.
Okay, let's see here.
And I'll stay on for like another five, 10 minutes here, guys.
Is there any other states with that type of gun laws?
Not to my knowledge.
Remember, guys, I come from federal, so I'm not aware of all the state laws, but I know Texas, that's Texas has some very lax state laws because when I worked there.
Myron, what protects us from tech employees and spiriting on our devices?
Guys, I know everyone wants to say, oh, the government is watching, blah, blah, blah.
Bro, real talk, guys, it takes a lot of probable cause to be able to be able to tap someone's phone or whatever.
I told you guys on the last episode, it takes more to tap someone's phone than to actually arrest them.
You need way more probable cause to listen to someone's phone.
Now, that's for a criminal case.
When it comes to like, you know, national security, that's a whole other world.
Okay.
I want you guys to, I want to make that very clear.
The criminal case world and then the classified national security world are two different things, guys.
Two different things.
All right.
The stuff that comes from classified stuff is not discoverable.
You know, we ain't going to talk about classified stuff on this podcast on this channel.
We're always going to talk criminal because I purposely stayed away from classified information.
It's fucking useless.
You know what I'm saying?
Anyone that does criminal cases will tell you guys that classified information is absolutely useless for a criminal case.
You can't use it.
You can't use it.
You know what I'm saying?
It's trash.
It's literally pointless.
You're out here looking at reports and shit like that, and you're like, oh, this is great evidence.
And they're like, wait, I can't use it.
What the hell?
Like, nah, bro, it's shit trash.
Let's see here.
Marin, you ever smashed a coworker?
Nope.
Am I police?
No.
I used to be.
I resigned.
Let's see here.
JFK case, potentially.
Any work with Dominican Republic police?
I never work with them directly, but I know a lot of people that have, especially for drug trafficking cases.
U.S. of killing Iron's commander.
I never heard of that one.
I mean, I could look that up, but that's not really a law enforcement thing, guys.
That's going to probably be more like with the military and intelligence.
Guys, I need you guys to understand that, like, law enforcement and intelligence are two different worlds.
Okay, so like on the law enforcement side, you got like the FBI, DEA, ATF, us, HSI.
You got us, right?
That operate in what I call the light, you know, because you have to, when you do a criminal case, everything is discoverable.
It's public.
Everything I shared with you guys is going to be public.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm just going to organize it for y'all and put it in a presentable fashion so you guys know what's going on.
But everything I share with you guys is public.
The other side is the intelligence side.
That's where you deal with the classified stuff.
Intelligence agencies are not law enforcement agencies.
They don't have arrest power.
Okay.
And typically they operate abroad.
They don't operate domestically.
Okay.
So intelligence and law enforcement are two different things.
The only agency that also does intelligence that's a law enforcement agency, I mean, HSI does it too, but the FBI is like pretty much the main domestic intelligence agency.
Let's see here.
Yep.
I'm here to motivate y'all, man.
You motivated me to go hard on my YouTube channels.
That's from Moanza Alpha.
Got you.
Can NBA Youngboy beat both cases?
He's going to do time, guys.
I'll keep it all the way 1,000 with you guys.
He's going to get convicted.
I don't know if they're going to give him, maybe they might give him, you know, probation or something like that, but he's not.
They got him on a very concrete charge, man.
Felon in possession, there's no, it's very simple.
You're a felon.
You've been convicted of a felony.
You were in possession of a firearm.
They kind of got him dead to rights.
At this point, it's about negotiating for lower time, really.
He's not going to beat that case, especially over there in Louisiana.
They have a hard-on for him, bro.
Have you ever considered reacting to random murder cases on YouTube like Jim Can's Swim Inspired?
I mean, if y'all want me to, NYC has some of the highest murder rates in the country, but has also some of the strictest gun laws thoughts.
Yeah, man.
I mean, taking people's guns away does not lower violence.
You know what I'm saying?
This has been shown.
As a matter of fact, states like New Hampshire, where gun ownership is high, has some of the lowest gun crime rates.
Whereas places like Chicago and Illinois that have like, sorry, places like Illinois, New York, California, et cetera, that have very strict gun laws, they have some of the highest gun violence.
You know what I'm saying?
So guns don't kill people.
People kill people.
So let's see here.
What else do we got?
Glock 9 or Orlando.
I could potentially do that.
They're looking at a State Rico case, guys, which State Rico cases are not as strong as the Feds.
How can we become CIA?
I don't know.
No one knows.
Does FBI or HSI hire hackers?
Yeah, I mean, they hire people with tech backgrounds.
You still got friends over at the agency?
Yeah, for sure.
You know?
Let's see here.
Torrey Lane's med case.
Yeah, once they come up with a verdict and everything, I could definitely do it.
Rollo Fed case.
Who's Rollo?
I don't know who Rollo is.
Can you review the Boozy case and how he got it overturned?
Potentially.
Can you kill someone while you're undercover?
No.
Hey, Myron, can Melly get a pardon?
Yeah, it would have to be presidential, but I don't foresee him getting a pardon on a murder case.
No way.
And the president would have to do it like he did for Kodak Black, and that's not easy.
And for a murder case, they ain't going to do it.
You know, they did it for Lil Wayne.
They did it for Kodak.
But you guys got to remember it was like, you know, a gun charge.
Like, it's not really technically violent crime.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, a double homicide premeditated.
That's definitely going to be a nope.
Let's see here.
Let's see.
I'm looking through your questions, guys.
I want to get a lot of these answered for y'all.
Kyle Renthaus, guys.
I'm going to say this.
You guys can get mad at me if you want.
The Kyle Renhaus case is probably one of the most clear-cut self-defense cases I've ever seen in my lifetime.
It's amazing to me that they even speculated that he wasn't self-defense.
Crazy to me, bro.
The left went wild on that one, bro.
Like, what the hell?
Like, they're out here putting out a bunch of false information.
You shot black people.
No.
The people who killed were actually Caucasian.
One of them being a child toucher.
You know what I'm saying?
Who deserved, in my opinion, to lose his life anyway because he's a scumbag.
So, yeah, it was the most clear-cut case of self-defense, 1,000%.
Like, my man, he was running away, guys.
And they literally, he fell, and then they came at him with a skateboard and trying to fuck his ass up.
One guy came at him with a gun, bro.
Clear-cut.
And for those, oh, it was just a skateboard.
Guys, do you know what will happen if you get hit with a skateboard across the head?
Bro, a skateboard is a deadly weapon.
It can 100% be interpreted as a deadly weapon with those facts and circumstances.
My man came at him like this.
Bro, if you get hit in the head with a skateboard, especially like where the trucks are, that holds the wheels, that's solid steel.
You done It could kill you.
No, you absolutely cannot buy guns for your friends.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, there's a way to gift it, but yeah.
Yeah, don't do that, guys.
Don't buy it.
That's called straw purchasing, my friends, and you can get in trouble for that.
Hey, Myron, this past September, Eric Holder, aka Nipsey Desson, got a new court date, March 1st, 2022.
Please, can you do a breakdown on him?
Yeah, I can, but he's done.
I mean, it's pretty clear-cut that he was a shooter.
There's witnesses and everything.
Like, he donezo.
And he's a gang member.
They're going to go after him with, you know, crazy.
Okay, so, okay, guys, so we're going to get wrapping up here in a second.
Guys, in the comments below, I want you guys to tell me what case you want me to break down next.
The case that gets the most likes, I'm going to do next week for y'all.
I'm going to do the K-Flock case.
Don't worry.
That one's still.
I'm waiting on the last piece of information because I don't want to jump the gun.
A lot of people did the K-Flock thing, but they didn't do it with all the facts.
I have a lot of the facts with me.
And I got the court paperwork, which I haven't seen other people with.
But I'm waiting to get some reports.
And then, you know, and see his court date hearing and then go from there.
But I want y'all to comment below right after I finish this stream what y'all want to see next.
Okay?
Whatever gets the most comments, I'll break down.
Do not say K-Flock because I'm already going to do it.
That's set in stone.
I'm doing K-Flock.
I'm already ready for it.
I just need a couple more pieces of information.
And then here in the chat, just so I can kind of get a feel for it, type what you guys want me to break down.
What case you guys want me to break down?
Do it in the chat, and then I'm going to also look at the comments.
Let's see here.
I'm looking at the chat right now.
Okay, I see Oblock, Rollo, Torrey Lanes, Chapo, Vibbs Cartel.
Okay.
And guys, do me a favor, like the video, bro.
Get me to 2,000 likes.
There's 2,200 of y'all in here right now.
So like the video.
Like the video.
All right, we're at 2K.
Okay, Tackstone, Torre Lane, Pusheisty, Tupac, Young Dolph, NBA Youngboy, Epstein, Erbo, Lanes, Nipsey Hustle, Tax Stone, Rollo, these nuts.
Why Big Meets didn't get a pardon?
Okay.
The reason why Big Meets didn't get a pardon, guys, is because he was a top guy in the drug trafficking organization.
That's why they built a really strong case against him.
I watched the documentary on that.
Detroit DEA got him.
They had him dead to rights.
Wife and Lucy.
Okay.
See some trolls in the comments.
You guys are hilarious.
Alec Baldwin, Epstein.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Cool.
Yeah, guys.
So comment below.
Whatever gets the most likes, I'm going to do.
And other than that, guys, thank you so much.
I love y'all.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
Give me some flame emojis if you guys enjoyed this and you want to see more thorough breakdowns like this where I actually read the court documents with you guys.
You know, I was a little worried, like, hey, man, maybe I might bore them or put them to sleep or whatever, but I wanted to really go through it and give you guys the investigators' perspective on how they analyze the case.
You know what I'm saying?
Because, you know, I see a lot of lawyers breaking it down and everything else like that, but I want to give y'all the investigators' perspective on how they do things.
Okay, fantastic.
I see y'all really enjoyed that.
Cool, cool, cool.
Cool.
Yeah, that's definitely the most thorough breakdown of the Melly case on the internet right now.
Because I've seen a couple of videos and that one right there, you know, not to toot my own horn, but, you know, I got to give myself a pat on the back for that one.
Awesome, awesome.
Awesome.
Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Cool.
So I'll see you guys tomorrow.
I think we're going to do potentially three podcasts tomorrow.
We're going to have Brandon Carter on, and then we're going to have a nighttime show.
Those two are set in stone, and then we might do a New Year's recap for you guys if we can get some things in place.
But we're giving y'all at least two shows tomorrow, 7 p.m. on Fresh and Fit with Brandon Carter, and then probably around 10 p.m. with 10 p.m. with the ladies, 10, 10.30.
So love you guys.
Thank you guys so much for tuning in.
This is a great show.
And yeah, man, I hope Melly, you know, I really hope he pleads guilty and doesn't get like, doesn't try to take it to trial, guys, because I honestly think if he takes it to trial, he's going to lose and they're going to go after him with the death penalty.
You know what I'm saying?
Because it was such a heinous crime and it were his friends and he's a gang member.
So they're going to really try to come after him.
And he's a young guy, man.
He's like, oh, isn't it early 20s?
So anyway, love you guys.
Peace.
Support Melly.
Listen to his music, man.
And I hope he can get out of this somehow.
But from what I'm seeing, man, it sucks as a fan.
Me too, speaking as a fan, it sucks.
