According to court docs we obtained, officials say Bortlen tampered with at least one potential witness in his and YNW Melly’s double murder trial, which ended in a mistrial.
Jury selection for their new trial begins on October 9, and it seemed like Bortlen had been using his free time after the mistrial to resume his rap career — but this new charge could derail those efforts if he’s found guilty.
Both Melly and Bortlen still stand accused of killing their YNW bros Juvy and Sakchaser in cold blood … and Bortlen now has another charge to deal with in the case.
