Among the prime suspects in case, Hernandez Govan, was detained for the criminal activity in 2022 and billed with first-degree murder, tried first-degree murder and conspiracy theory to dedicate first-degree murder. Right after, he was provided bond for $90,000 and place on residence apprehension so he can discover job to deal with his family members.
On Friday (February 16), Shelby Area Court J. Jennifer Mitchell slammed the offender for speaking with a reporter.
“[I] shouldn’t have to remind you that you’re out on a bond,” she started. “At this point, the court feels like you’re playing, and playing fast and loose with the court and these stipulations, and I don’t like that.
“You have filed a motion through your attorney, asking me to review your bond conditions. And before we could ever do that, I get a message from a concerned citizen that you’re out doing interviews.
“Whether you’re talking about this case or not, you’re doing interviews. The court doesn’t like the fact that you feel free enough to do interviews, because what could be happening is that you could be in jail, and it’s a whole lot easier to supervise you there. But you’ve been given the opportunity to post a bond with bond conditions, and you’re not doing those things you need to do.”
She included: “We’re going to review those bond conditions on March 1, but let me make myself extremely clear to you that you are to not have any interviews with anybody for any reason.”
The DA informed press reporters that Govan did not speak about the instance throughout his 28-minute interview, which was uploaded on YouTube.
“It wasn’t the smartest thing to talk from house arrest, you know, in a YouTube video, but it wasn’t anything about the case and in fact he would say no comment any time someone asked him about the case,” Paul Hagerman clarified to Memphis’ FOX13.
“They talked about rap music, various rappers, and they talked some about Mr. Govan’s daughter that is deceased now. He was asked two or three times about the case that he did not answer.”
Previously today, among the other individuals apparently associated with the murder was provided his demand to swimming pool jurors from locations outside Memphis, Tennessee.
In mid-February, Mitchell chose for the activity submitted by Justin Johnson because of the extreme media insurance coverage bordering the murder in the rap artist’s home town. A court will certainly currently be offered the city from outdoors Shelby Area for the test, which is arranged to begin on June 3.
In his initial declaring previously this month, the charged’s attorney Luke Evans suggested that “the victim in the case is beloved here,” while declaring that Dolph’s followers have actually apparently endangered Johnson and his co-defendant, Cornelius Smith, with “lynching” and being eliminated behind bars.
The lawyer really feels that these require physical violence are rooted in “seeking vengeance, not justice.”
Hagerman recommended sending out surveys to a possible court swimming pool of concerning 150 to 200 individuals to “gauge the effect of news coverage and social media commentary,” however Court Mitchell denied the proposition as it can postpone the test, specifically given that it was currently pressed back from its formerly arranged beginning day of March 11.
