Cortlen 'YNW Bortlen' Henry has accepted a plea deal just one day before jury selection was scheduled to begin in his murder trial. The case is regarding the alleged murders of Christopher 'YNW Juvy' Thomas Jr and Anthony 'YNW Sakchaser' Williams. The update comes as rapper YNW Melly remains behind bars while awaiting his retrial for the alleged murders. Bortlen was facing two counts of murder in the first degree with a firearm and two counts of accessory after the fact. With the deal, he no longer faces life in prison, as reported by Complex. Instead, he will serve 10 years behind bars, followed by six years of probation. He has also agreed to provide information to prosecutors in the future. Per the deal, he pleaded no contest to the accessory after the fact charges. The first-degree murder charges were dropped. An attorney for the family of YNW Sakchaser addressed the plea deal on social media. "As predicted, YNW Bortlen took the plea deal. He also agreed to a proffer, which means he's talking," he wrote. YNW Melly is in jail awaiting a retrial in his case. His first trial ended in a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict. He is facing two counts of first-degree murder. Melly is best known for his 2018 viral single, Murder on My Mind.
