Mistrial Declared in Rapper YNW Melly's Double Murder Trial After Jury Deadlocks

YNW Melly, real name Jamell Demons, was on trial for the murders of his friends Christopher Thomas Jr. and Anthony Williams.
Prosecutors alleged Demons shot the victims and staged the scene to appear to be a drive-by shooting.
The defense disputed allegations that Demons had a motive to kill the victims who were his close friends.
After deliberating for three days, the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict, resulting in a mistrial.
Prosecutors will likely retry Demons on the two first-degree murder charges with a new jury.
