Texas witness admits he lied earlier in Yella Beezy murder-for-hire trial
The capital murder trial of Dallas rapper Yella Beezy, accused of hiring a killing of rival rapper MO3, entered its seventh day of testimony as prosecutors kept calling witnesses.
A childhood friend of Dallas rapper Yella Beezy told jurors he had lied earlier in the trial, a turn that came as prosecutors kept calling witnesses on the seventh day of testimony in the capital murder case against the rapper.
Yella Beezy is on trial in a Texas capital murder court over the 2020 fatal shooting of fellow rapper MO3. Prosecutors allege the killing was carried out under a murder-for-hire scheme. The shooting took place on Interstate 35 in Texas.
The witness who admitted to earlier falsehoods had already testified during the second week of the proceedings. When he returned to the stand, he told the jury that his earlier account was not accurate. Prosecutors have not yet finished presenting their case, and the full list of remaining witnesses has not been made public.
Live testimony and court updates are being reported by several outlets following the trial day by day. The defense's position and the expected timing of a verdict have not been reported. The outcome of the trial remains undetermined.
