It looks like we probably will not be getting a Lil Durk verdict tonight.
During the first day of deliberations Wednesday, jurors sent a note to the judge asking to receive the trial evidence in digital format.
According to courtroom reporting from Michael Blackshire, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald asked the attorneys about the request and was told the earliest the court could guarantee the material would be available is 8:30 a.m. Thursday morning.
So unless something changes, verdict watch is carrying over into another day.
The jury began deliberating Wednesday after weeks of testimony and Tuesday’s closing arguments in Durk’s federal murder-for-hire trial.
Durk, Deandre “OTF DeDe” Wilson and David “Browneyez” Lindsey have pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the 2022 Los Angeles shooting that prosecutors say was intended to kill Quando Rondo.
Rondo survived, but his cousin Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson was killed.
Jurors were shown a large amount of evidence during the trial, including communications, travel records, financial information, surveillance material and other digital exhibits.
The jury’s request does NOT tell us whether they are leaning guilty or not guilty.
It simply means they want access to the evidence while they continue discussing the case.
That could mean jurors are comparing exhibits, checking timelines, reviewing communications or trying to resolve questions among themselves before reaching a unanimous decision.
Durk’s defense has also filed a separate request involving portions of his DJ Akademiks interview, arguing prosecutors presented selected excerpts without enough context.
For now, there is still no timetable for a verdict.
The jury gets the requested digital evidence Thursday morning, and deliberations continue from there.
Durk and his co-defendants remain presumed innocent.
