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.

This legal battle traces back to an incident in California, where Williams allegedly discharged a firearm at an occupied vehicle following a heated dispute. Remarkably, though bullets struck the vehicle, no occupants sustained injuries. Despite the lack of concrete eyewitnesses to the firearm’s discharge, Judge Thompson-Taylor deemed the existence of probable cause sufficient to proceed to trial. In a stern warning, she made it clear that any potential witness intimidation would not be tolerated, prompting her to clear the courtroom of potential disturbances.
