Yella Beezy was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Wednesday for Capital Murder in the death of Texas rapper Mo3. The artist had previously received bail in the case, and immediately went from freedom to prison.
The artist was accused of paying Kewon White to kill Mo3. White had previously been convicted of murder and was also sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
In the aftermath of the case, famous lawyer Bradford Cohen is questioning the legitimacy of the guilty verdict. He cited a witness who lied to a grand jury, while also receiving a federal deal to testify. Moreover, the lawyer cited White's admission that he was never paid by Yella Beezy for the hit.
For Cohen, this suggests that there is plenty of reasonable doubt to go around. Consequently, Cohen believes a successful appeal could be on the horizon.
Bradford Cohen Weighs In On Yella Beezy Case
"Yella Beezy convicted on the word of a witness who admitted he lied to the grand jury and got a federal deal to testify, while the shooter says Beezy never paid him. That isn't proof beyond a reasonable doubt. This fight moves to appeal," Cohen wrote on X
Later that same day, Cohen revealed that he had been asked to participate in a review of the case. "I have been asked to look at the yella beezy case for appellate purposes. Stay tuned," he concluded.
For now, Yella Beezy remains behind bars, and as Cohen puts it, an appeal is coming. Appeals are rarely successful, although Cohen appears confident that in this particular case, something can be worked out.
