Lil Durk’s co-defendants, DeAndre “OTF Dede” Wilson and David “Browneyez” Lindsey, are pursuing a new trial after being convicted on stalking charges. On Monday (Sept. 21), their attorneys submitted court documents to establish a timeline for post-trial motions following their conviction on Sept. 11, which found them guilty of stalking but acquitted them of murder-for-hire. The filing states, “Defendants Lindsey and Wilson moved for judgment of acquittal under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29 at the close of the government’s case on September 3, 2026; the Court reserved decision under Rule 29(b), and the motions were renewed at the close of all the evidence.” The court is scheduled to review these motions next month.
Lil Durk faced the same charges but was acquitted on all counts. He remains incarcerated as he awaits another trial concerning VICAR charges, with a bond hearing set for Nov. 4.
