HipHopRaisedMeTheBlog.com is reporting that Lil Durk and his legal team have publicly slammed the FBI’s reliance on an informant in his murder-for-hire case, labeling the informant as “unreliable.” Durk is currently seeking release from jail ahead of his trial, arguing that the prosecution’s case heavily leans on the questionable information provided by this informant.
Durk’s attorney, Drew Findling, asserted that the government has been citing allegations from an unrelated federal case in Illinois, where the informant, referred to as “CHS 1,” has never been charged. Findling stressed that this informant is a paid FBI source with a criminal history, calling into question the validity of the claims being made against Durk.
In his bid for bail, Durk has proposed a package worth $4.5 million, which includes $3 million in personal cash. He has also offered to place himself under house arrest and hire 24/7 security to monitor his movements. However, prosecutors have countered that the amount is insufficient and have accused Durk of using his wealth to incite violence.
The court has yet to rule on Durk’s request for bond as he faces serious charges, including allegedly orchestrating an attack on rapper Quando Rondo as retribution for the death of King Von, which resulted in the murder of Rondo’s cousin.
In a previous ruling, Durk scored a legal victory when the judge decided that prosecutors could not use his song lyrics as evidence in the case. The prosecution had attempted to link lyrics from Durk’s song “Wonderful Wayne & Jackie Boy” to the alleged attack, but Durk’s legal team successfully argued that the song was released months before the incident occurred.
