20-year-old Florida rapper YNW Melly, real name Jamell Maurice Demons, is currently in prison at the Broward County Jail in South Florida, awaiting trial on murder charges. Melly was arrested on allegations he committed a double murder that was premeditated.

While in jail, Melly has contracted the coronavirus. His weight has dropped to 114 pounds. He is experiencing fever, chills and labored breathing. If that's the case he should be sent to the jail infirmary. If their medical equipment is insufficient to tackle coronavirus, he should be sent to a local hospital with armed guards, rotated in 8-hour shifts, posted to his room.

I read about the murders Melly is accused of committing. He stands accused of committing the 2017 murder of sheriff’s deputy, Gary Chambliss, in a matter that has not gone to trial at this time. The case Melly was remanded to jail for pending trial, is in reference to allegations he staged the murders of two men, with his friends, then dropped the victims off outside the hospital door, in trying to make their deaths look like an accident.

That is psychotic. Melly would be a danger to hospital staff and other patients if he is admitted under the wrong circumstances. He is also a danger to the general public. Additionally, he is also exhibiting signs of schizophrenia. He cannot be allowed to roam free. Any medical treatment must be done under the supervision of an armed guard.
