Judge Delays Kewon White’s MO3 Murder Trial Over Ongoing Evidence Review

Both sides say the voluminous digital case file requires more time to review.

Overview

  • The Feb. 2 state trial date was vacated with no new date set, and attorneys will reconvene next week to propose a schedule.
  • The court authorized prosecutors to photograph White’s facial and arm tattoos for possible gang-affiliation evidence, which the defense wants vetted outside the jury’s presence.
  • Prosecutors say discovery has been turned over, while defense teams describe more than 16 terabytes of phone records and surveillance footage to analyze.
  • Related proceedings for Markies “Yella Beezy” Conway include a pre-trial hearing Friday as his lawyers contest the scope of disclosures following his release on a reduced $750,000 bond.
  • White is accused of fatally shooting MO3 on I-35 in 2020 and is serving an 8-year, 9-month federal firearm sentence that runs concurrently with the pending state case.
