Lil Durk’s 2nd Racketeering Trial Set for 2027 After Murder-for-Hire Acquittal
In the meantime, the rapper's lawyers will likely argue that last month’s bombshell verdict undermines the second case.
Lil Durk, the Chicago-based rapper, faces a second racketeering trial in 2027 after being acquitted of a murder-for-hire charge in 2026. The delay in the second trial was announced by a court order on Wednesday, September 30, moving the trial from its original Oct. 5, 2026, date to Aug. 30, 2027. Until then, Durk's legal team is likely to argue that the original acquittal weakens the case against him.
The "All My Life" hitmaker was found not guilty of ordering Quando Rondo's murder in retaliation for King Von's 2020 killing. However, prosecutors have added a new VICAR charge, alleging that Durk's Only the Family (OTF) record label operates as a violent gang involved in other murders and attempted murders.
