YNW Melly’s Jury Selection Begins: New Prosecutor Added to Trial
A familiar figure from XXXTENTACION’s murder trial, Prosecutor Alixandra Buckelew, steps into the spotlight, replacing Assistant State Attorney Kristine Bradley. Broward Circuit Court Judge John Murphy’s decision to recuse Bradley follows a motion from Melly’s defense team seeking the removal of the entire State Attorney’s Office from the case.
During the preceding week, Assistant State Attorney Michelle Boutros raised concerns about Detective Mark Moretti, the lead investigator in the Melly case, insisted a local deputy “lie about being present when the search warrant” on the accused killer’s mother’s phone went down. Although the prosecution downplayed these remarks, they sparked valid concerns for the defense. Buckelew attempted to delay the trial’s commencement, but speedy trial rights ensure that Melly will soon return to the courtroom.
Notably, the discovery of jury description maps for YNW Bortlen, connected to the case, raises the possibility of anonymous jurors being selected to protect their identities and maintain the trial’s integrity.
