1090 Jake Named In YNW Melly Case After Exposing Private Investegator

1090 Jake has become the most recent person swept up into YNW Melly's upcoming retrial. The rapper's second time facing murder charges is still early in the pretrial process. Jury selection is underway and the judge is weighing the validity of new evidence presented by the prosecution. Last month, the judge ruled that a number of the new pieces of evidence needed to be restricted, including some text messages sent the night of the alleged murders.

In another section of evidence, the state is trying to introduce, 1090 Jake and a number of his YouTube videos are named. The blogger became tangentially involved in the case when he exposed undercover detective Danny Polo. In a refutation of the attempt to introduce the videos into evidence the defense called Polo a "crazed fan" who can't keep Jake's name out of his mouth. The judge has yet to rule on whether the YouTube videos cited by the prosecution will be allowed into evidence. Check out the official legal filings by the defense below.

This is the second piece of new information to come out about the Melly case in the past few days. It follows yet another delay in the trial pushing it back a few weeks from February into March. The retrial date has been repeatedly delayed from its originally scheduled date in October and Melly has remained behind bars the entire time. In fact, the rapper hasn't been free since his arrest in 2018. He's spent more than 5 years in prison despite not being charged with any crime.

Melly's second trial arrives after his long-awaited first one ended in a mistrial. After weeks of testimony and days of deliberating the jury couldn't come to a definitive conclusion about his guilt.
