YNW Melly has pleaded not guilty to his criminal charges of  two counts of first-degree murder. He is accused of shooting and killing of two of his friends YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy. His associate YNW Bortlen, was also arrested and hit with the same murder charges and two counts of accessory after the fact. Bortlen was scheduled to be arraigned today, and he also has another arraignment set for tomorrow morning (March 6), but that’s said to be a make up hearing. Police believe both Melly and Bortlen shot their friends from inside of the jeep they were riding in. Melly’s legal team maintains that he is innocent.
