Dallas County jurors have found Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, guilty of capital murder in the 2020 killing of fellow Dallas rapper MO3. FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth's "FULL: Yella Beezy verdict & courtroom reaction" follows the decision through to the formal sentence: life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

The footage records more than the announcement. Each juror confirms the verdict individually, and Anyiam explains that the conviction carries a mandatory life-without-parole sentence. Conway is later handcuffed and led through a side door by deputies. When court reconvenes without the jury, the judge formally imposes the sentence.

The verdict came six years to the day after MO3's murder, as FOX 4 notes in its accompanying coverage.

The full courtroom video drew about 86,000 views in seven hours, far beyond the station's usual opening pace for regular videos. Its longer trial broadcast also drew an unusually large audience, alongside separate reports on the family's reaction and the attorneys' responses.

Anyiam tells Conway that he retains the right to appeal. In FOX 4's separate attorney-reaction report, defense lawyer Toby Shook says he is already planning one.
