## Resource

Lil Durk walks free after a dramatic LA trial—found not guilty on all murder-for-hire charges in the case tied to the 2022 killing of Quando Rondo’s cousin. Prosecutors claimed he orchestrated the plot as revenge for King Von’s death, but his defense argued he had no direct role, blaming a cooperating witness. Two co-defendants were convicted of stalking and conspiracy. The jury deliberated three days before acquitting Durk, sparking cheers from supporters outside court.
