Lil Durk Murder-For-Hire Trial: Closing Arguments Begin
Prosecutors say Durk ordered a revenge plot tied to King Von’s killing, and if convicted he could face life in federal prison.
- On Wednesday, jurors began deliberations in the federal murder-for-hire trial of Durk Banks before District Judge Michael in Los Angeles, weighing evidence from the 2022 shooting of Tyquian Bowman.
- Prosecutors allege that Durk Banks financed a plot to kill Bowman as revenge for the 2020 killing of King Von, who was shot outside an Atlanta hookah lounge following a confrontation.
- Attorneys Drew Findling and Brian Steel, known for representing Young Thug and Gucci Mane, are defending Banks while prosecutors rely heavily on testimony from former OTF associates who agreed to testify.
- Banks has pleaded "Not guilty" to charges, yet faces potential life in federal prison if convicted on the most serious counts. A separate racketeering trial remains pending regardless of this verdict.
- Prosecutors could block any release through appeals, mirroring tactics used in the Jam Master Jay case where a defendant remained jailed despite a bond grant. Banks currently remains at a Los Angeles detention centre.
