Yella Beezy stands accused of hiring Kewon White to murder Mo3, and another codefendant, Devin Brown, also faces capital murder charges.

Three trials in Texas aim to solve the 2020 murder of Dallas rapper Mo3, with prosecutors accusing three men of capital murder and separating each trial. Yella Beezy is the man prosecutors claim orchestrated the whole thing, paying Kewon White to shoot Mo, and they claim Devin Brown assisted White on the day of the fatal shooting. While White's trial is currently underway, we now know when Beezy will face his own jury.

According to journalist Bryson "Boom" Paul, the Dallas County Clerk indicates Yella's capital murder trial will begin on September 14. Judge Chika Anyiam will reportedly preside, and a court appearance for today (Friday, September 4) was reportedly removed. Attorneys Toby Shook, John F. Gussio, and Michael Mowla will reportedly represent the rapper in this capital murder case.

We will see how this timeline matches with the other trials in this case. Kewon White's case continues to develop, with the prosecution wrapping up with its final witnesses. Elsewhere, the trial of Devin Brown seems less defined at press time, but will also be key in presenting and refuting evidence for both sides.

Is Yella Beezy In Jail?

Beezy left jail on a $750K bond back in March of last year, and has been awaiting trial ever since. Prosecutors specifically accused Yella Beezy of paying Kewon White $20K to track and murder Mo3, with various details in White's trial indicating what arguments prosecutors will have against Yella in this upcoming trial.

Another controversial part of this case is the use of Yella Beezy's lyrics in trial, which the court allowed. His defense team maintains that these tracks are performances and not admissions, blasting efforts to turn artistic expression against him.

We will see if any pre-trial updates change the panorama of this situation before September 14. With two other trials that are proving to be key to the overall case, there will be a lot of common information across all proceedings that will paint a full picture. However, neither side has finalized their arguments and evidence presentation. So there is still a lot of trial left in the lead-up to the big one.
