Lil Durk’s Lawyer Files Motion to Get Murder-for-Hire Case Dismissed

Lil Durk's legal team claims the lyrics the feds claim confirm the rapper's involvement in the case were written months before the shooting.

“The government told the grand jury that Mr. Banks, through specific lyrics in his music, celebrated and profited from a revenge murder that he had ordered,” David Findling, Durk’s lawyer, wrote. Unless the government is prosecuting Banks on a theory of extra-sensory prescience, the lyrics could not have soundly informed the grand jury’s finding of probable cause.” The prosecution also claimed that his verse on the song references a news clip filmed after the shooting, where Rondo can be heard saying “No, no” after seeing Lul Pab’s body.
