Lil Durk trial: defence presses admitted gunman on shifting bounty statements

Defence lawyer Brian Steel cross-examined admitted shooter Kasey "OTF Jam" Hester on 28 August 2026 in Lil Durk's Los Angeles murder-for-hire trial. Jurors heard Hester's May 2023 federal interview, where he said he "never" discussed a bounty with Durk, then stated two hours later: "If you get him, you're gonna be straight." Steel pressed him on the "dramatically change[d]" answers.
