A judge on Wednesday granted rapper
#YNWMelly’s bombshell request to have a new legal team as he faces a double m-rder re-trial in
#BrowardCounty.
In his motion, Melly, whose real name is
#JamellDemons, asked that
#DrewFindling and
#CareyHaughwout represent him in his double m-rder case moving forward.
Findling and Haughwout will replace Raven Liberty, Stuart Adelstein, Daniel Aaronson and two others who have represented him for years.
Court documents reference a conflict of interest with Raven Liberty, who is the subject of a Broward Sheriff’s Office investigation. Little is known publicly about that investigation, but the mere existence of it is prompting Demons to change course.
The motion to substitute counsel states, “Mr. Demons’ current team may be unable to fully litigate this issue without fear of further recrimination in the criminal case against one of the team.”
