Attorneys Present Opening Arguments in Yella Beezy Case

Prosecutor Tommy Adams addressed jurors as opening statements began in the capital murder trial of Yella Beezy, born Markies Conway. Conway denies guilt in the killing of fellow Dallas rapper MO3.

Prosecutors accuse Conway of paying someone to kill MO3 in an ambush attack on Interstate 35 in 2020. The trial concerns that killing and the charge against Conway.

The judge estimated proceedings could run for about two or three weeks. Opening statements mark the start of the trial, as the prosecution and defense present their cases to jurors. Conway’s not-guilty plea remains his position as the proceedings begin.
