YNW Melly's mother is opening up about her recent health scare amid her son's ongoing double murder trial.
On Monday, June 19, Jamie Demons-King took to her Instagram Story to vent about the emotional trauma she experienced as court proceedings continue. In her lengthy post, Melly's mom claimed that all the stress she's endured recently led to a heart attack.
“I’m deleting this app," she began. "I can’t be crying and making myself upset because of a lying clout chaser who won’t even show his face in court but care so much. I had one heart attack already because of stress.”
“I refuse to let this kill me," she continued. "I try to be peaceful and respectful to all of you. I pray for everyone, because I know it’s the right thing to do.”
The stress of a mother who's son is on trial for allegedly murdering his two friends is incomprehensible to those on the outside. Jamie Demons-King spent the past three years seeing her son in jail before she saw him alongside his lawyers at the start of his double murder trial at a courthouse in Fort Lauderdale last week. On the fourth day, the prosecution's witness gave testimony that inspired Melly's lawyers to motion for a mistrial. Once the trial picked back up on Tuesday, June 20, Judge John Murphy denied the request. His mother is currently back in court to support her son as court proceedings continue.
YNW Melly is accused of orchestrating the fatal shooting of his two friends Anthony "YNW Sakchaser" Williams and Christopher "YNW Juvy" Thomas Jr. Prosecutors alleged that he recruited his other friend Cortlen "YNW Bortlen" Henry to make the murder look like a drive-by, and drop off their bodies at a hospital. Melly faces the death penalty if convicted, which can be determined with a minimum 8-4 under Florida's new death sentence law.
