A YNW Melly juror from the Florida rapp<\/a>er\u2019s first double murder trial has come forward with claims that the \u201cMurder on My Mind\u201d rapper was framed.<\/p>\n

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel<\/a><\/em> revealed that they spoke to Juror No. 7, whose real name has not been released out of concerns for her safety and privacy. According to her, the lack of consistent evidence against YNW Melly (real name Jamell Demons) led to her voting not guilty.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that he didn\u2019t do it and it wasn\u2019t proved in court,\u201d said the Fort Lauderdale resident. \u201cThis was a really bad situation of being framed. Melly was a very good person. He always tried to help out people around him.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, Juror No. 7 claimed that most of the jury wanted to convict YNW Melly of the double murders, but were turned off by the prosecution\u2019s insistence of trying to tie his actions to \u201cgang activity,\u201d claiming that doing so was racial profiling.<\/p>\n

YNW Melly, and the majority of the jury (including Juror No. 7) are Black, whereas the prosecutor was white, which further fueled the racial profiling claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was not a matter of fact but a matter of race,\u201d she said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t there, but I believe he was being framed, based on the text messages.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear whether Juror No. 7 is the same juror that allegedly \u201cmanipulated\u201d two other jurors to deem Melly not guilty, resulting in the 9-3 mistrial.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom day one, she had issues with the foreperson selected, at one point crossing her arms and saying she was \u2018Done!\u2019 When another juror asked to not shut down and set her feelings aside, she exploded,\u201d the anonymous juror claimed in an interview with the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was explosive, manipulative, she was rude, she yelled insults at anyone who had a different opinion\u2026She was there to cause chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Early last month, Judge John J. Murphy III acquiesced to Melly\u2019s attorney Stuart Adelstein\u2019s request to have the new trial date pushed back from October 2 to October 9.<\/p>\n

Law&Crime<\/em>\u2018s Cathy Russon<\/a> added that Adelstein requested to delay the trial by a week due to him going on vacation.<\/p>\n

Melly was seen grinning and mouthing the words, \u201cI\u2019m coming home\u201d to family in the gallery as he left the courtroom in an orange jumpsuit and shackles.<\/p>\n

YNW Melly is being retried for the October 2018 double murder of his friends YNW Sakchaser (Anthony Williams) and YNW Juvy (Christopher Thomas Jr.) after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict in last month\u2019s trial.<\/p>\n

Judge Murphy III announced on July 22 that the case had ended in a mistrial, despite three days of deliberation. \u201cThese types of decisions, they\u2019re hard decisions,\u201d he said regarding the inconclusive finale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
