MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The third day of the Hernandez Govan trial is underway. On Day 3, the first witness, Dr. Juliette Scantlebury, took the stand to discuss the autopsy, citing that the rapper Young Dolph had a total of 20 gunshot wounds. With the doctor’s witness testimony, the state prosecutors rested their case.
While prosecutors used cellphone data to try to tie the man accused of organizing the Memphis rapper’s murder to the crime, his lawyer said the evidence proved something else.
Govan is accused of masterminding the death of Memphis rapper Adolph Thornton Jr., also known as Young Dolph, who was shot and killed at Makeda's Cookies.
Anthony “Big Jook” Mims was the older brother of Memphis rapper and hip-hop mogul Yo Gotti. He was killed in a January 2024 shooting in Memphis.
