It's been almost three years since the tragic death of Memphis rapper Young Dolph in his hometown. Despite the passage of time, the delay in the trial for one of the suspects involved in his killing has left his fiancé, Mia Jaye, feeling frustrated and without closure.
In an interview with WREG, Jaye expressed her disappointment in the recent postponement of the trial for Justin Johnson, one of the men accused of being involved in Young Dolph's death. She took to social media to voice her concerns and question the lack of answers surrounding the case.
Jaye specifically called out Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy, who had previously stated during his 2022 election campaign that he wanted justice for Young Dolph. She shared a video of Mulroy discussing the need for change and reform in the criminal justice system, and questioned whether his words were sincere or simply for the sake of gaining votes.
In her Instagram post, Jaye wrote, "Did you really stand for these words or just needed an endorsement & votes during the 2022 election? This is exactly why I didn't endorse any Memphis politicians out of reluctance that my voice & circumstances would be used as a pawn, rather than being heard for true change... Congratulations on winning, but change hasn't taken place... People are still being let out on bond... So remind the community what your office is doing to bring forth change?!"
Jaye explained to the media outlet that she has not seen any significant changes since Mulroy took office. She is not only fighting for justice for her late fiancé, but also for the countless others who are affected by the flaws in the criminal justice system. Jaye pointed out that suspects who are released on bond while their cases are pending often go on to commit more crimes.
In response to Jaye's social media post, D.A. Mulroy released a statement addressing the delay in the trial. He stated, "Several factors have contributed to the trial delay, including the defendants' changing attorneys and the litigation over court division and venue changes. While the frustration is understandable, these complexities in the criminal justice process must be addressed to ensure the integrity of the case. We want to be sure nothing compromises the trial and prevents us from our primary objective of delivering justice for Adolph Thornton."
According to Fox 13, Young Dolph was fatally shot while buying cookies at Makeda's Butter Cookies on November 17th, 2021. The unresolved case has left many, including Jaye, yearning for closure and justice for the beloved rapper.
It's worth noting that the judge presiding over the Young Dolph murder case was recently ordered to recuse himself, adding another layer of complexity and delay to the already prolonged legal process. Jaye and other loved ones of Young Dolph continue to seek answers and justice for his untimely death.
