NBA Youngboy Loses Appeal to Ban Gun Video From Trial


Rapper NBA Youngboy is currently on house arrest while awaiting trial on gun charges [click here if you missed that].

In bad new for NBA, he just lost his appeal to have video of him holding guns barred from trial...

From XXL
On Friday (July 14), NBA YoungBoy lost his appeal to have a video of him holding firearms to be suppressed in his ongoing gun case. In their 17-page decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit in Louisiana reversed a lower court ruling that denied the government from entering the videos as evidence in the embattled rapper's pending gun trial because they were obtained with an improper search warrant.
In February of 2022, Judge Shelly D. Dick of the United States District Court Middle District of Louisiana granted YB's legal team's motion to have an SD Media card that contained both video and images that appear to show the rapper possessing firearms. The SD card was obtained during YB's arrest in Baton Rouge, La. in September of 2020.
The government appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, and won the reversal. They can present the videos as evidence in YB's pending gun trial.
