Lil Durk has been found not guilty on all charges in his murder-for-hire trial tied to the 2022 death of Saviay’a Robinson, but he remains in federal custody ahead of a separate RICO case.
We usually like to stick to music, but we have to show the Chicago native some love. Lil Durk beat the feds — he’s been found not guilty on all charges in the murder-for-hire case tied to the 2022 shooting death of Saviay’a Robinson (Lil Pab), with the jury delivering its verdict Friday after a three-day deliberation. He’s been in custody since his arrest on October 24, 2024, and his legal team pulled off a major win after a three-week federal trial. Durk had been staying focused on the music — even revisiting his come-up story on “Old Days” and picking up his first Grammy alongside J. Cole for “All My Life,” but unfortunately, some of his own OTF associates flipped, testifying against him in this case. His legal battles aren’t over yet as he remains in federal custody as prosecutors prepare to pursue a RICO case reportedly set to begin October 5th. Still, this is a massive win for Durk and his legal team. He’s no stranger to bringing out the features either, like his Swizz Beatz “Say Less” collab with A Boogie. Stay tuned for more updates.
