Day Four of YNW Melly Double Murder Trial

The fourth day of the double murder trial of rapper YNW Melly was a chaotic one, with the defense moving for a mistrial after the prosecution was accused of lying about the rapper's attorneys and introducing hearsay testimony.

The defense's motion for a mistrial was based on the testimony of Felicia Holmes, the mother of YNW Melly's ex-girlfriend. Holmes testified that she had seen YNW Melly and his friend Cortlen Henry arguing on the day of the murders. The prosecution had previously told the court that Holmes had not seen the argument.

The defense also objected to the prosecution's introduction of hearsay testimony from a witness who claimed to have heard YNW Melly confess to the murders. The defense argued that the testimony was inadmissible because it was not based on the witness's own firsthand knowledge.

The judge did not immediately rule on the defense's motion for a mistrial. He said he would need to review the evidence before making a decision.

The trial is expected to continue on Tuesday.
