On Monday Nov 2 2026, Theodore Thomas a.k.a. Jose Bodega, 34, testified under use immunity in Yella Beezy's (Markies Conway) capital murder trial over MO3's 2020 killing that his grand jury account was false: 'I made it up' about the Yella-MO3 feud, and 'That was a lie' about the alleged $40K from Yella Beezy and TrapBoyFreddy. He said he cried at the grand jury 'because I was lying' and lied out of fear of a federal life sentence. Judge Chika Anyiam let prosecutor Tommy Adams treat him as hostile and told jurors the prior statements go only to credibility. Prosecutors stressed he held the story 18+ months, even after his federal case was dismissed. Yella has pleaded not guilty; defense attorney Toby Shook. Kewon White was convicted in September and got life. Tue Nov 3 (Day 6) a Dallas officer who worked security for Yella is testifying.
