Rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is India Cox-Banks, was found not guilty on all counts in a trial that concluded recently. The charges included conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and interstate stalking. His partner, India Royale, was a constant presence, attending every day of the three-week trial. Upon hearing the verdict, she reportedly shared her joy.
Durk was accused of orchestrating a murder plot as retaliation for the death of a friend. This alleged plot led to the fatal shooting of a cousin of another artist. Two co-defendants in the case were found guilty of stalking conspiracy charges, while other participants testified as cooperating witnesses.
Despite being cleared of the most serious allegations, Durk will not be released from custody. He is currently awaiting a second trial focused on racketeering charges, which is slated to begin on October 5.
