Lil Durk was acquitted in his recent trial, but two of his co-defendants are now fighting to change their outcomes.
Deandre Dontrell Wilson, known as OTF Dede, and David Brian Lindsey, known as Browneyez, have asked the court for a new trial or an acquittal after both men were found guilty on three stalking counts, according to documents XXL obtained.
Attorneys for Dede and Browneyez filed motions under Rules 33 and 29 challenging the verdicts. The two men were acquitted of two additional charges tied to an alleged murder-for-hire plot.
A judge has not yet ruled on their requests.
Durk, who faced the same five charges, was found not guilty on all counts. His legal battle is not over, however.
The Chicago rapper remains in custody because two separate charges were split from the first trial at his attorneys’ request. Those charges are expected to go before a jury later this year.
Durk’s legal team is also trying to secure his release in the meantime. According to a separate court document, his attorneys requested a November 4 bond hearing before U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald.

Attorney Moe Gangat said he believes Durk’s team plans to present a substantial bail package. Gangat argued that after the rapper’s acquittal on the five earlier charges, Durk poses neither a flight risk nor a danger to the community and should be released on bond.
Durk, Dede and Browneyez were tried together on five federal charges tied to an alleged murder-for-hire plot.
Prosecutors accused the group of stalking targets connected to the case, while the defense challenged the government’s evidence linking the men to the alleged scheme. After deliberations, jurors acquitted Durk on all five counts. Dede and Browneyez were each found guilty on three stalking charges but were acquitted of the two murder-for-hire-related counts.
Durk remains in custody because two additional charges were separated from the joint trial and are expected to be tried later this year.
