“[They’re] going on social media every day and saying, ‘Mr. Demons and Mr. Henry are innocent, and they’re going to get out any day, and this is all frivolous,’ and all of that,” said Phillips. “My client isn’t going to be sidestepped for them to be able to speak. It’s not fair.” He also pointed out that he was being harassed online by Melly fans, who he says there is something “so angry and venomous” about. “The death threats, the urinating on my mother’s grave comments, they’re hurtful,” Phillips said.

YNW Melly and his co-defendant YNW Bortlen each pleaded not guilty to the double murder in March 2019. They are both currently serving time without bail while they await the continuation of their trial. If they are found guilty, the families of the victims could be awarded millions in reparations. However, the defendants could face the death penalty if convicted.
