Lil Durk Trial Week 2 Recap: Defense Witness Calls Key Cooperator ‘A Liar and a Thief’

Billboard is running down the key moments from the second week of the murder-for-hire trial.

Lil Durk Trial Week 2 Recap: Defense Witness Calls Key Cooperator ‘A Liar and a Thief’

The second and final week of Lil Durk's murder-for-hire trial proceeded with testimony from more government witnesses, who claimed the rap star orchestrated the killing of rival rapper Quando Rondo. The defense, however, sought to challenge the credibility of these witnesses, with particular focus on the testimony of Vonnie Grant, Durk's former assistant.

Grant stated that he had coordinated the logistics of the 2022 shooting and that Durk was "excited" and "joyful" upon learning of Pab's death, the victim of Rondo's shooting. Durk's legal team argued that all the cooperating witnesses were lying to reduce their own sentences.
