@meghannmcuniff: Judge Chika Anyiam sentenced rapper Markies "Yella Beezy" Conway to life in prison moments after she read the jury's guilty verdict in his murder-for-hire trial today. "Mr. Conway, it is the judgment of this court that you should be taken by the sheriff, handed over to the agency of the institutional division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, where you will serve a life sentence without the possibility of parole," she said. Conway, 35, had been free on $750,000 bail during trial. He has a right to appeal his conviction, and his lawyer Toby Shook told reporters outside court that the case has appealable issues. Jurors deliberated about 3 1/2 hours today (Wednesday, November 11) before convicting 35-year-old Conway of capital murder for the shooting death Melvin "MO3" Noble Jr. on a Dallas freeway in 2020. Today is the sixth anniversary of Noble's death. A separate jury last month convicted Kewon White of being the gunman, and Judge Anyiam sentenced him to life in prison. Prosecutors said he paid $40,000 for Noble's murder as part of a years-long feud that included Noble's associate shooting Conway in 2018. Evidence included Conway's songs "Keep It In The Streets" and "On Ya Head." #law #crime #rap
