Judge Calls Out Defense Team Over Misstep In Julio Foolio Murder Trial

The murder trial connected to the shooting death of rapper Julio Foolio has grown increasingly tense after Judge Michelle Sisco publicly rebuked the defense, calling their handling of key courtroom procedures “inexcusable.”

Alicia Andrews, the first of five defendants charged in connection with the 2024 killing of Julio Foolio, whose real name was Charles Jones, is currently on trial for first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

The rapper was fatally shot outside a Holiday Inn in Tampa last June in what prosecutors claim was a targeted ambush.

The latest friction erupted when prosecutors accused Andrews’ defense team of failing to properly enforce the court’s sequestration rule, which prevents witnesses from discussing the case or being influenced by outside information.
