Lil Durk has been found not guilty on all charges in connection with the 2022 killing of Quando Rondo’s cousin, Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson.
On Friday (Sept. 11), following a nearly three-week trial and three days deliberating, the jury delivered the verdict on charges of conspiracy to commit stalking; stalking Quando Rondo using a dangerous weapon; stalking Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson resulting in death; conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities in a murder-for-hire resulting in Pab’s death; and using interstate commerce facilities in a murder-for-hire resulting in Pab’s death.
The jury acquitted Durk, born Durk Banks, on each count he was charged with. His codefendants DeAndre Wilson and David Lindsey have been found guilty of stalking and stalking conspiracy but acquitted of murder-for-hire, according to legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff, who has been covering the case. As the verdict was delivered, Durk began crying, Rolling Stone’s Nancy Dillon reports.
The decision did not come without some suspense. On Tuesday (Sept. 9), the jury sent a note to the judge, in which they asked for all the evidence in digital form, according to journalist Meghann Cuniff. There was also a matter of the prosecution playing a portion of a Lil Durk and DJ Akademiks interview during closing arguments and Durk’s defense unsuccessfully arguing that they should also be allowed to play portions of the interview for context.
Durk came out victorious, despite the prosecution’s case being aided by testimony from former Lil Durk associates Kevon “OTF Vonnie” Grant, Kacey “OTF Jam” Hester and Keith Jones. All three men took the stand and admitted to being involved in stalking Quando and Robinson’s murder. They named Durk as the mastermind behind the killing, which the feds insisted was retaliation for the 2020 death of King Von, who was shot and killed by Quando Rondo associate Timothy “Lul Timm” Leeks.
This is not the end of Durk’s legal issues. He will not be freed because he could face a second federal trial for murder in aid of racketeering in connection with the 2022 killing of Stephon Mack.
