Video summary

The trial for the alleged capital murder of rapper Mo3 has officially begun, centering on a deadly feud between him and fellow Dallas artist Yella Beezy. Prosecutors allege that Yella Beezy orchestrated the killing of Melvin Noble, known as Mo3, in 2020 by hiring Kiwan White to carry out the hit on Interstate 35E. While Yella Beezy has pleaded not guilty and denies any involvement, the case hinges significantly on whether rap lyrics will be admitted as evidence. The prosecution plans to present songs where Yella Beezy allegedly mentions putting a bounty on Mo3's life, while the defense argues that such lyrics constitute artistic expression rather than confessions of guilt. A major development driving the trial strategy involves Kiwan White, who is currently serving time for unrelated federal gun charges. Prosecutors appear to be using White as a "setup" or pump fake, hoping he will change his plea deal and turn state's evidence against Yella Beezy before the trial concludes. If White agrees to testify, it would shift the burden entirely onto Yella Beezy to defend himself against the testimony of someone who has already been in prison for years. The defense team is aware of this tactic and is prepared for the possibility that White might fold under pressure, potentially leading to a sudden start of Yella Beezy's trial with the same jury pool if the judge allows it. The courtroom proceedings are further complicated by the intense scrutiny on how Texas handles high-profile cases involving music culture and prison dynamics. The prosecution has successfully prevented a local detective who knows the rap scene well from testifying as an expert witness, though they may still subpoena other individuals involved in the music production to interpret lyrics. There is also significant tension regarding the influence of West Coast media, specifically the movie *Colors*, which both sides argue has negatively impacted street culture and gang affiliations across America. The trial highlights the harsh realities of the Texas prison system, where defendants face difficult choices between returning to federal facilities or facing state death row charges, adding immense psychological pressure to the legal proceedings. As jury selection proceeds with attorneys narrowing down a pool of seventy-seven prospective jurors to twelve, the atmosphere remains tense with the potential for a dramatic shift in strategy. The prosecution's willingness to potentially try Yella Beezy immediately if White cooperates suggests they are confident in their case but are also prepared for a high-stakes confrontation. Meanwhile, the defense must navigate the challenge of proving that artistic expression should not be conflated with criminal intent, all while managing the threat of a witness who has already served significant time and may have incentives to implicate his former associate. The outcome of this trial will not only determine the fate of Yella Beezy but also expose the complex interplay between music, loyalty, and the justice system in Texas.

Yeah, we on Boss Talk TV. Shout out to Eury selection begins today for that case involving a deadly feud between two rival rappers. >> Mo three was shot to death back in was on I30 back in 2020 and prosecutors say this was a murder for higher plot. Tissia Minga live outside the Dallas County Courthouse to explain what's ahead in this case. Tissia, >> good morning guys. Yeah, Kiwan White, the alleged hitman, is already serving time for an unrelated gun charges and now faces capital murder for MO3's death. In MO3's death, now Mo 3, by the way, his real name is Melvin Noble. He was followed, chased, and killed on I35e in 2020, and his death shocked the local hiphop community. But prosecutors say this wasn't a random shooting. They allege Mo 3 was targeted as part of a murder for higher plot. And they say this case also centers on a longunning feud between Noble and fellow Dallas rapper Yellowy whose real name is Maris Conway. Prosecutors accuse Conway of orchestrating the killing and hiring White to carry to carry it out. Now Conway has pleaded not guilty and denies involvement. One of the biggest questions heading into trial is what role will rap lyrics play? >> OG, they're getting started. This thing is jumping off. OG, are you there? They're getting started. >> Not yet. >> OG. >> He said he said he ain't guilty. He said it wasn't him. >> OG. This is This is crazy the way that they're doing it. The prosecutor has pulled in Kiwan White first. As you've said, you've you've said some things about this not being good for Yellow Bey because he going first. I didn't really understand at first until I heard this one statement Tissia said here. And they calling this boy hit man. But I I wanted you to hear this one statement. I want you to help me with it. Listen at this. >> Judge has allowed some of Yellow Bee's music, including lyrics about his feud with MO3 to be presented as evidence. The defense or the defense argues rap lyrics are artistic expression, not confessions. And during a pre-trial hearing last week, a judge denied Dallas a Dallas detective who has done a lot of investigations involving involving Dallas rappers. Well, that detective will not be able to serve as an expert witness on the rap music. And this is important because the prosecution claims Conway song lyrics mentioned putting a bounty on Mo3. Jury selection begins today and attorneys will narrow down a pool of 77 prospective jurors to a panel of 12. Now, White is the first defendant to face trial and a judge did tell Yellow Bezy and a third defendant to be uh ready in case they they have to have a trial today too in case something changes. Now, >> that's that that's the part right there. Be ready to have a trial today in case something changes. What the hell is this this what is being said, OG? Why would the prosecutor tell Yellow Bezy, be ready to have a trial today? And so, he he got he he in there probably sitting, but why would he say that? What is that all about? I thought they do one and then the next one >> because uh uh potentially from what that sounds like that uh the defendant today, Mr. White, is getting ready to change his plea and turn state evidence to start a trial against >> That's exactly what that could be. So it was a I see what you saying. So if he come in there coping out, we better just go start your trial today, Yellow Beey. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But I would think they would have to have respect enough for them to Well, they've already did the pre-trial hearing, so it's all all uh uh what? All gas, no breaks, as y'all always say, right? So they everything's laid out to go forward. So what they're saying is, okay, if he come in here and and we decide what he said and what you we done with him is working towards something we need to do to you, we going to flip right there. >> Right. That's that's what the potential leader is saying is that they're working on something with Kon White that he'll plead guilty to 20 years and he's going to turn state evidence on Yellow Bezy. So we getting ready to crank your trial. We had his trial. Now we having yours. >> That's why you said this didn't look good. That's why you said I get it now. Cuz if they flip this thing right now, now it really looking crazy cuz they putting all they all of they eggs in the basket with Kiwan White to say, you know what, he said you gave it to him. Now it's his word against yours, >> right? >> Wow. What do you How do you see it now playing out now that you've heard what what the jud what the prosecutor is is is lining him up with? Well, still in all, you still got to realize the fact that uh the the judge did um reject that the police can't come in. >> The detective and and that detective knew a lot about that music. They That's another plus for Yellow Bezy, >> right? Now, that don't mean they ain't going to get somebody else. >> There you go. And it could be somebody else that was at >> it could be a engineer. It could be anybody that was doing the music could have heard something in there while the music being done. They could subpoena anybody and have them up there trying to understand why and what they done and had to do with this whole whole deal. Right. >> That's right. >> So Kiwan White comes in hot. I did not expect them to say that. You probably did because you're a little bit more versed on it than me. I ain't never been in a system where people turn over on people. But this guy is basically now uh uh uh they're saying we we brought him down here. We going to put him in the trial and see if he'll run up in that gully and face this capital murder charge to put him to the death penalty. But if he start coping a plea, if he starts saying, you know what, I want to let me talk. Let me and his lawyer start saying, "We not going to be able to beat this. We not going to be able to beat this." And and next thing you know, he say, "Man, y can I can I have five minutes? Five minutes? Can we Can we have five minutes? >> That man been sitting up in prison for five years on a on a federal gun charge. >> Wow. >> Now they didn't transfer him down to to from the feds to the county jail is like going from heaven to hell. And with a case as massive as this, do you think that man want to go through that and go through TDC? >> Yeah. So he going to have to go Yeah. They got to go down there where it's hot.

Was you in there? What happened to you two years ago when you went to the feds? Did you end up talking during that time cuz you knew this was coming down the pike? Did you already sell him out before you got your time in order to get your time reduced on that other case? That's something you have to think about. These guys, a lot of these guys running up in that courtroom, already done been to prison and already done came back on federal cases. Did they and state cases? Did they have they already been working out deals? Are they in fear to go back down there? Like you said, it ain't just one. It's several of them.
