Hernandez Govan has been acquitted of orchestrating the 2021 murder of rapper Young Dolph. The jury delivered the not-guilty verdict after three hours of deliberation. Govan expressed gratitude to the jury and relief at being able to restart his life.
Meanwhile, Justin Johnson was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in prison. Johnson’s attempt to appeal the conviction was denied. Another individual, Shundale Barnett, was briefly arrested but released due to a clerical error and later had the charges dropped.
Young Dolph’s loved ones continue to seek justice and honor his memory.
