Mina SayWhat Comments On YNW Melly Trial On OkayPlayer.com

Mina SayWhat talked to journalist Bryson “Boom” Paul for Okayplayer.com about the YNW Melly trial and how it resulted in a hung jury.

They countered the testimony of the prosecution’s witness that was there the day of the murders, Traveon Glass, with an alternative story from another friend that was there that night, Adrian Davis. Also, perhaps the most important piece of evidence, a text message saying ‘I did that,’ was shredded by the defense when they pointed out that Melly never used the word “that” only “dat”… and that he may have shared the phone with others.
