The first week of the YNW Melly double murder trial wrapped up today.

He's accused of killing YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser in 2019.

If he's convicted he could get the death penalty.

So it's not a good situation to be in.

It looks like during the proceedings today he saw his chance and tried to escape.

They said YNW Melly tried to escape in the middle of his trial.😭😭 pic.twitter.com/jIYCTFDOsU

As you can see, Melly covered his face as he headed toward the door.  Perhaps because he thought shielding his face would prevent the guards from seeing him.

But they did see him and escorted him back to his seat.
