Rapper Lil Durk's fate is moving into the hands of a Los Angeles jury after prosecutors accused the Grammy-winning rapper of orchestrating a deadly revenge plot, while his lawyers argued the government's case is overwhelmed by reasonable doubt.
The 33-year-old Chicago rapper, whose real name is Durk Banks, has pleaded not guilty to five federal counts linked to the August 2022 shooting that killed Saviay'a Robinson, the cousin of rapper Quando Rondo. Closing arguments finished on Tuesday, with jurors expected to begin deliberations on Wednesday, 9 September. Banks could face life in prison if convicted.
