YNW Mellys' legal problems just got bigger

With his second trial for double murder set to begin next week, Melly has been charged with witness tampering.

This comes two days after YNW Bortlen -- who is being tried separately for killing YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser -- was hit with witness tampering charges.

Prosecutors haven't released the details of the tampering in either case.

Melly's lawyer calls the charge a "distraction."

“This is a transparent and desperate attempt by the State Attorney’s office to distract the public for the deposition of an Assistant State Attorney who accused this case’s lead detective and lead prosecutor of felonies by falsifying and covering up evidence damaging to the state’s case,” the rapper’s defense attorneys said in a statement to the Miami Herald.

Melly has been locked up since 2019.  Hi first double murder trial ended with a hung juror, with the state quickly deciding to retry him.
