A Tennessee jury on Thursday acquitted Hernandez Govan, the man prosecutors accused of masterminding the 2021 killing of Memphis rapper Young Dolph. After brief deliberations, the panel cleared Govan of first-degree murder and conspiracy charges.
His attorney argued the verdict underscored systemic concerns, citing overcrowded jails and detainees held without bond. The three-day trial included testimony that Dolph suffered 20 gunshot wounds and a controversial claim tying Yo Gotti’s late brother to a bounty.
While Govan walks free, co-defendant Justin Johnson is serving life, Cornelius Smith awaits resolution, and Jermarcus Johnson has pleaded guilty to accessory charges.
It remains uncertain what will transpire betwee Ceddy Nash and Hernandez Govan in the future.
