Several witnesses for Lil Durk‘s defense testified in court today, including OTF Jam’s wife and ex-girlfriend, among others. Additionally, Durk’s FBI arrest video was played for the jury.

On Thursday (Sept. 3), during Durk’s murder-for-hire trial, a wide array of witnesses took the stand for the Chicago rapper’s defense team. The testimonies included Tonya Johnican, sister of Durk’s former security guard Big Country; Kevin Freeman from Durk’s non-profit organization Neighborhood Heroes; Sanchay “Dharmic” Jain, former Alamo Records’ SVP of Marketing; Shekema “Queen Kema” Springfield, the mother of one of King Von’s children; OTF Jam’s wife; his ex-girlfriend, Briana Dangerfield, a sound engineer and more.

Journalists Michael Blackshire and Taylor Praise of Los Angeles Magazine, as well as YouTuber Trap Lore Ross, continued their coverage from the courtroom.

OTF Jam’s wife revealed their 15-year-old son disowned his father for snitching.

The sound engineer reportedly admitted 6ix9ine had inspired Durk’s songs “Pissed Me Off” and “Ahhh Ha.”

Queen Kema called OTF Vonnie a “thief and a liar,” according to Ross: “I could not believe it when King Vons military BM took the stand. She said she lived with Vonni[e] and Von in their Atlanta house and Vonni[e] is a thief and a liar.”

OTF Jam’s ex-girlfriend Briana Dangerfield reportedly got caught perjuring herself on the stand. She testified that she put OTF Jam, born Kacey Hester, out of her house for treating the house that her children resided in like a “revolving door.”

“He’s not truthful at all,” she reportedly said of Jam. “He’s a manipulator.”

However, during cross-examination, the prosecution questioned Briana regarding her claims of having a clean criminal record. Although she testified to having no prior run-ins with the law, the prosecution highlighted a 2016 forgery arrest followed by a second incident involving theft.

“When you told the jury you’d never been arrested, was that a lie?” the prosecution asked Briana.

“Yes,” she responded.

Before the defense presented their witnesses, the jury reportedly was shown footage of Lil Durk’s FBI arrest in Florida in 2024. FBI Agent Conor Goepel was part of the arrest team that intercepted Durk’s flight on Oct. 24, 2024, from Miami to Dubai.

According to Parise’s reporting, defense attorney Christy O’Connor cross-examined Goepel, and things got a little intense as O’Connor pushed back on Goepel’s insinuation that Durk was “fleeing” the country.

At the end of the day, Journalist Michael Blackshire, who is also covering the trial, reported the defense had fully rested their case. Lil Durk and co-defendants OTF DeDe (Deandre Wilson) and OTF BrownEyez (David Lindsey) will not testify. The court is scheduled to begin hearing closing arguments on Tuesday (Sept. 8).
