LIVE the Charles “Julio Foolio” Jones Homicide Trial — State of Florida v. Alicia Andrews

The Florida trial of the woman accused of helping plan the murder of rapper Julio Foolio, whose real name was Charles Jones is now underway in Hillsborough County Court.

The state alleges that she worked as a lookout while Charles Jones celebrated his birthday. They claim she coordinated with others who later cornered the rapper in a hotel parking lot.

A group of armed men allegedly shot at Foolio’s vehicle, taking his life and leaving three others hurt.

The defendant has been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Prosecutors have presented cell phone data that they say show her role in the Julio Foolio case planning. This includes deleted texts and photos recovered from her online accounts.

Andrews’ lawyer argues that she was unaware of the shooting. Her team insists she was just on a trip with her boyfriend.

This trial is being covered closely by court watchers because Julio Foolio’s death sparked controversy.

Day 6 of the trial has focused on digital forensics, with detectives explaining how they connected messages to the planning.
