Jamell Demons, also known as the up-and-coming rapper YNW Melly, gained notoriety in the hip hop world for both his shocking lyrics and his criminal exploits. Although he has never denied his past convictions, Melly adamantly denies any involvement in the gruesome murders of two of his best friends in 2018.

‘Murder on My Mind: The YNW Melly Double Murder Trial’ features Law&Crime’s extensive coverage of the Florida death penalty case, explores the circumstances leading up to the murders of two young men, and the mistrials of the man accused of killing them. YNW Melly's first and second trials both ended in hung juries, and as of February 2024, his trial is paused and awaiting adjudication of the inclusion of digital evidence: a 20-minute documentary about his own life, which prosecutors say is evidence he was at the scene of the crime in question.
