Yella Beezy reportedly “fell out in the back hall” of a Dallas, Texas courtroom after learning his fate in a much-publicized capital murder case.
Or at least, that’s the wording used in NBC 5 DFW’s coverage of the outcome of the case, which ended with Beezy being sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Per this report, the regional outlet was told that Beezy, real name Markies Conway, “fell out in the back hall” after being taken into custody on Wednesday (Nov. 11).
The Dallas-born Beezy, 35, had been convicted of capital murder for, in the words of prosecutors, “orchestrating and financing” the fatal shooting of fellow Texas artist MO3.
“This case sends a clear message that those who plan, finance, and orchestrate violence will be held accountable, just as those who carry it out,” Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot said in a statement issued after Beezy’s conviction.
Beezy’s defense team has expressed disappointment in the verdict and signaled that appeal efforts are underway, reiterating their argument that the evidence in the case was insufficient.
