Hernandez Govan's Court Hearing Set for November

Hernandez Govan, alleged mastermind behind Young Dolph's murder, is set to stand trial on March 10, 2025, facing charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy. Govan must decide on a plea deal by November 22, 2024, after his non-testimony in the trial of Justin Johnson, who was convicted and sentenced to life for his role in the killing. Cornelius Smith, who testified against Johnson, implicated Govan in orchestrating the hit, reportedly commissioned by Yo Gotti's brother, Big Jook, with a $100,000 bounty. Govan's previous proffer agreement during the investigation allows for potential leniency if he cooperates. As the legal proceedings unfold, the Shelby County District Attorney's office reaffirms its commitment to justice for Young Dolph. Jermarcus Johnson, Justin's half-brother, also awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to accessory charges, having testified against Justin during the trial.
