A Broward County judge has once again denied bond for rapper YNW Melly, ensuring the artist remains behind bars until his double murder retrial, which is currently not scheduled until January 2027. In a written order, Judge Martin Fein refused to grant pretrial release for the 26-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Jamell Demons.
The decision follows a marathon four-hour “Arthur hearing” held in late April, where the defense team argued that Demons’ seven-year incarceration without a conviction constitutes a violation of his constitutional rights. In his ruling, Judge Fein maintained that the “proof of guilt is evident and the presumption of guilt is great,” a high legal standard in Florida that allows the state to hold defendants facing capital charges without bond.
The ruling ignited a firestorm of criticism from the rapper’s legal counsel, who characterized the decision as an act of “cruel treatment” and a failure of the judicial system. Lead attorneys Drew Findling and Carey Haughwout released a statement expressing “disbelief and outrage,” pointing out that their client has been in custody since February 2019. They argued that the repeated delays in the retrial, coupled with what they described as “dehumanizing” jail conditions, have transformed pretrial detention into a form of premature punishment.
The defense had proposed a strict release plan to address flight risk concerns, which included 24-hour GPS monitoring at a secure Broward County residence, private security, and a total ban on social media use. Despite these concessions and the testimony of family members regarding the emotional toll of his detention, the court sided with prosecutors. The State argued that Demons remains a danger to the community and a flight risk, particularly given the gravity of the first-degree murder charges he faces.
Demons is accused of the 2018 shooting deaths of his close associates, Anthony “YNW Sakchaser” Williams and Christopher “YNW Juvy” Thomas Jr. While his first trial in 2023 ended in a mistrial after a hung jury, he still faces the death penalty if convicted in the upcoming retrial. Though separate witness tampering charges were dropped earlier this year, the primary murder case remains at a standstill. With the retrial nearly a year away, YNW Melly is set to reach an unprecedented eight years in custody before a final verdict is reached.

Rapper Kodak Black, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, was released from the Orange County Jail on Thursday after being granted a $75,000 bond. The arrest stems from a felony charge of trafficking in MDMA following a monthslong investigation by the Orlando Police Department. The 28-year old artist turned himself in as part of a “coordinated surrender” related to an incident that occurred in November 2025, when officers responded to reports of gunfire near the Children’s Safety Village on Fairvilla Road.
