YNW Bortlen Put On House Arrest
After being granted bond, YNW Bortlen is expected to remain on house arrest until trial.
According to attorney John M. Phillips, who represents the family of one of the victims, Christopher “YNW Juvy” Thomas, Jr., Melly will remain behind bars until trial. Bortlen was charged with two counts of first degree murder and two counts of accessory after the fact for allegedly working with Melly to kill their crew members YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser. Bortlen will be granted release once he puts up collateral worth “in excess of ninety thousand dollars,” according to legal documents obtained by Complex. He will then be under house arrest, and subject to GPS tracking. Phillips made a statement about the case on Twitter, stating, “The victim’s family understands the release but does not agree with it. They hope for full justice and safety of all witnesses.” – (Complex)
