Judge denies mistrial motion in YNW Melly trial as juror hospitalized.

The judge presiding over the murder trial of rapper YNW Melly denied the defense's motion for a mistrial, stating that the prosecution had not "tainted" the jury. However, witness testimony was postponed due to a juror being hospitalized for dehydration. YNW Melly is accused of murdering two fellow rappers in 2018 and could face the death penalty if convicted. The defense had claimed that the prosecution's use of a witness's testimony had been "highly prejudicial" and had "tainted" the jury.
