Even as the 33-year-old remains in jail, awaiting trial in a separate RICO case, his associates are celebrating. The not-guilty verdict in the Los Angeles murder-for-hire trial of rapper Lil Durk Friday came as a huge relief to the rapper’s friends and family.
The celebration began after the jury sent out a note at 4:08pm PDT on Friday saying that they have found the rapper not guilty of the charges. Lil Durk remains in federal custody facing a separate racketeering case with a trial scheduled for October 5. The high-profile trial was closely watched, with members of Lil Durk’s team gathering outside the Los Angeles courtroom along with interested public to gather information on the trial. Notably, Quinn Cook has been associated with Lil Durk’s notorious collective Only The Family (OTF) and openly represents them. Prosecutors allege Durk led a criminal enterprise through his Only The Family (OTF) collective, involving violence and other criminal activity. The rapper was found not guilty in his murder-for-hire case but remains in custody as he faces another federal trial.
