Judge Upholds PnB Rock Murder Charges, Rejects Suggestion Rapper ‘Scared’ His Shooter

The judge overseeing the PnB Rock murder trial rejected a dismissal motion Friday that suggested the celebrated rapper may have "scared" his shooter

In his written dismissal motion and oral arguments before the ruling, Trone’s defense lawyer, Winston McKesson, said there was no evidence his client supplied the gun or “instructed” his son to pull the trigger. At the hearing Friday, Jones refused to agree to another pre-trial delay, forcing the judge to order all the parties back to court on Monday to set a speedy trial date, possibly this month. Another defendant in the case, Wynisha Evans, is charged with being an accessory after the fact for allegedly driving Freddie Trone from Los Angeles to Las Vegas after the murder to help him escape a public manhunt, according to court filings.
