Dallas Crime Shockers: Yella Beezy’s Life Sentence & An Investigator Accused of Murder

And welcome to The Factor on Sensor. We have lots of hot news out of Dallas, including rapper Yellow Beezy, who found himself convicted of murder in the death of Moe 3 there. And his conviction came six years to the day that it went down. And, of course, he will face some heavy time behind bars, possibly the rest of his life. And also we're looking at a case that involves. An individual who was the chief investigator for the public defender's office in Dallas accused of murdering his wife. He has made his $1 million bond and he is out as of now, but there is still no motive. We know that he filed for divorce at least one week. Before his wife was found dead. Joining us now by OJ, a King below former Harris County prosecutor and now criminal defense attorney. Let's begin with Yellow Beezy, your thoughts on this case. And how much time will he spend behind bars? I mean, I always find these cases sad because there's two lives that are impacted that of the decedent and that of the defendant. The defendant is going to be going away for life without the possibility of parole. And obviously, Moe 3 is dead. So two lives and two families have been completely destroyed. And so what's the next step now when we talk about the death of Moe 3? I agree. Would his family seek any legal remedy when it comes to civil? It's certainly possible given the fact that- But is there anything there financially to gain? That's the question also. I think so. I mean, this case was a murder for hire case and they did go into his finances and what became known at least back in 2020 was that he was making millions. I'm not sure if that is the case now, but if that is still the status quo, if he still has that- A much amount of money. He definitely is an easy target for a civil lawsuit. Now that he's been found guilty, it's a lot easier to find civil liability for the murder of Mo Three. And when you talk about this case and the impact it's had, what kind of overwhelming, because it's my understanding that overwhelming, he even recorded. Yeah, tell us a little bit about what Yellow Beezie according to the prosecutors said he recorded in a song that led the cops right to him. This song, I believe, is something to the effect of I put money on his head. He didn't directly say Mo Three's name, but he appeared to be referencing that. And then he also gave an interview on Vlad TV where essentially he was talking about the beef that he had with Mo Three. Apparently, this gentleman was a victim of gun violence, and Mo Three put out a song taking responsibility. So in the interview on Vlad TV, he was saying, I'm not going to just let that slide. I'm going to retaliate. Essentially, so these statements were played in the jury, and the prosecutor had a very effective close, where she essentially said, take this man at his word, and then she pressed play. Wow. And so that's a warning, especially for entertainers, that we see this happening more and more, the music that's being put out there, that it can be used in the court of law. And so we just have to be careful if I were to advise a client who is an entertainer, hey, Don't sing about crimes that you've actually committed because it can be used against you much later. Now we have another case out of Dallas making headlines, 46-year-old James Stewart. And he was the public chief investigator for the Public Defender's Office. And he ended up, according to investigators, killing his wife. She was found stabbed to death in their home a week after he filed. For divorce, what do we know? And do we know if he filed for divorce or she filed for divorce? I'm not quite sure who filed for divorce. My understanding was that he did, but don't quote me on that. That being said, there was a call for service at the address. They knocked on the door, it was unresponsive. So they entered the house, they found the wife. With the knife in her neck, they went to the bedroom, they found him allegedly covered in blood, unresponsive, apparently he had ingested a bunch of pills, so he had to go to the hospital first before being arrested for charges of murder. Is this sending any type of shockwaves through the legal community because it's someone that everyone. Mainly prosecutors, defense attorneys wouldn't know in Dallas. I'm sure definitely, if it's anything like Harris County because I'm not very familiar with Dallas County legal community. But if it's anything like here in Harris County, that's usually it's a tight knit community. We all know each other. Yeah, we could be adversarial when it comes to trial, but outside of trial, we're chumming it up in the bar and the restaurants. And so I'm quite sure this is impacting especially the criminal bar. Out there in Dallas County. All right, and so what's the next step in this case? Is the effort to get him back in court and or at least two investigators and hear what he has to say if he's willing to say that. Yeah, I mean, he's charged with murder. And so my understanding is that he's already bonded out. So what's going to happen now in the process in the next steps? He should be lawyered up by now. Yes, the prosecutors are going to have to indict their case, presenting evidence before a grand jury. Everything that I've just summarized to you right now is probably going to go before the grand jury and then some. If and when the case is indicted, then it begins the process of gathering evidence on the state side and sharing that evidence over with his defense attorney, reviewing the evidence to see whether or not they can come to some sort of plea agreement. And if not, then we're looking at trial in the months to come. All right, Biogia Kingbala, former prosecutor, criminal defense attorney now here in Harris County. Thank you for joining us.
