Dedrick Williams, convicted of murdering rapper XXXTentacion, is appealing his conviction. His legal team argues that he was denied a fair trial due to the exclusion of evidence suggesting other potential suspects, notably rapper Drake. The appeal highlights the judge's refusal to allow the defense to present evidence of a feud between XXXTentacion and Drake, including witness testimony and social media posts. Furthermore, the appeal challenges the admission of prejudicial evidence and limitations on cross-examination, claiming these actions significantly hampered the defense's ability to present a robust case. The defense maintains that these errors warrant a new trial.
