XXXTENTACION

<p>It&#8217;s only a matter of time before the world learns the fate of XXXTentacion&#8217;s killers. Four suspects were accused of <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/632871-xxxtentacion-case-woman-who-rented-killers-car-says-defendant-apologized-to-her" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">robbing and murdering</a> Jahseh Onfroy in 2018 in his home state of Florida. The rapper visited a local motorcycle shop, and as he was driving out of the parking lot, an SUV blocked his pathway. The botched robbery was captured by surveillance cameras, and after the group fled, someone recorded Onfroy as he died in his car. That video was later posted to social media.</p>



<p>Four suspects were arrested in connection with the incident, and the trial has been quite the spectacle. One of the defendants also <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/630531-xxxtentacion-murder-trial-codefendant-mocked-robert-allen-for-taking-plea" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">turned on his friends</a> and testified for the prosecution. Other witnesses took the stand to confirm that at least one of the defendants confirmed he was involved. The attorney for the alleged triggerman tried to argue that his client and another defendant were innocent due to DNA evidence. After a lengthy process, the jury is now out for deliberation.</p>

<p>“Whoever (XXXTentacion) struggled with is not in this courtroom,” the attorney told the court. “The DNA proves that someone not named Michael Boatwright or Trayvon Newsome participated in this murder.” Additionally, this case has named several high-profile rappers,<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/619947-drake-mentioned-in-xxxtentacion-trial" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> including Drake.</a> Defense attorneys did their best to wrap Drizzy&#8217;s name into the scandal due to his online beef with the late star.</p>



<p>Robert Allen, the defendant who turned State&#8217;s witness, testified that he and his conspirators got away with $50,000. However, his cut was much lower than the others because he refused to get out of the SUV. The defense attempted to paint him as an unreliable witness who wasn&#8217;t<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/642826-xxxtentacion-murder-trial-suspects-dance-after-xs-death-in-courtroom-video"> telling the truth</a>. In a more shocking reveal in court today (March 8), a video was played, said to have been taken just hours after Onfroy&#8217;s murder. In it, the defendants are seen enjoying themselves as they smile, dance, and display handfuls of cash. To be specific, $100 bills.</p>

<p>Of the three remaining defendants waiting on a verdict, they all are looking at upwards of life behind bars. <em>The Associated Press</em> reported that although they were tried together, their convictions would be separate. This also means that not all could be convicted. It was reported that the jury gathered for about an hour before calling it a day. For now, it&#8217;s a waiting game, but a verdict is expected sooner than later.</p>
