In a dramatic turn of events, the alleged mastermind behind the murder of Memphis rapper Young Dolph, Hernandez Goan, has emerged in court claiming he is merely a scapegoat in a convoluted scheme. During the ongoing trial, Goan’s defense attorney argued that the prosecution’s case is built on a flimsy narrative, painting Goan as a mastermind when, in reality, he had no involvement in the crime. The courtroom was filled with tension as witnesses, including Young Dolph’s sister and his security guard, took the stand, revealing a shocking $100,000 bounty placed on the rapper’s head amid escalating tensions between rival record labels.

Goan’s attorney, Manny Aurora, vehemently denied that his client orchestrated the murder, suggesting instead that the real culprits are the two men who pulled the trigger—Cornelius Smith and Justin Johnson. Eyewitness accounts and evidence presented in court indicate that the car used in the shooting was found parked suspiciously close to Goan’s residence, raising questions about his alleged role. Yet, Aurora argued that the plan was so poorly executed it defies logic to label Goan a mastermind, emphasizing that he had no prior communication with the shooters leading up to the crime.

As the trial unfolds, the prosecution is focused on establishing a financial motive, detailing how Goan was purportedly set to receive a cut of the bounty. The courtroom drama intensified as Smith testified about Goan’s involvement, claiming he was a key point of contact before and after the murder. With the trial entering its second day, the stakes are high, and the tension palpable. As more witnesses are expected to testify, the question remains: will justice be served, or will Goan walk free, further complicating an already tragic saga?
