Defense calls first witnesses in Yella Beezy murder-for-hire trial
The murder trial of Dallas rapper Markies Conway, known professionally as Yella Beezy, entered its third week on Monday, with the defence beginning to call its first witnesses, nbcdfw.com reports.
The prosecution rested earlier that same day, having spent two weeks presenting testimony that described a chaotic scene of gunfire on a Dallas freeway. Conway stands accused of orchestrating the 2020 killing of fellow Dallas rapper MO3, whose real name was Melvin Noble, in an alleged murder-for-hire plot.
Conway has pleaded not guilty to capital murder in connection with Noble's death.
Prosecutors allege Conway hired Kewon White to carry out the killing, following a feud between the two rappers that is said to have originated in 2017. White was convicted of capital murder in September and subsequently sentenced to life in prison.
