Prosecutors Seek Anonymous Jury in Lil Durk Case Citing Threats and Obstruction
Prosecutors say shielding juror identities is necessary after alleged intimidation tied to OTF and reported misconduct during detention.
Overview
- An eight-page motion filed November 10 in Los Angeles federal court asks the judge to empanel an anonymous jury and withhold juror identifiers from both sides.
- Government filings allege OTF affiliates intimidated witnesses and issued threats targeting a magistrate judge and an Assistant U.S. Attorney.
- Prosecutors also claim Durk engaged in obstructive conduct in custody by using other inmates’ phone PINs and attempting to destroy a contraband Apple Watch.
- Defense attorney Drew Findling opposes the request as speculative and prejudicial, asserting OTF is a music label and arguing anonymity would hinder fair jury selection.
- Durk has pleaded not guilty, remains held without bail, and faces a January 2026 trial on charges including conspiracy, murder-for-hire resulting in death, and discharging a machine gun tied to the 2022 Beverly Center shooting that killed Lul Pab.
