“The case is so unusual and so complex, due to the nature of the prosecution and the number of defendants, that it is unreasonable to expect preparation for pre-trial proceedings or for the trial itself within the time limits established by the Speedy Trial Act,” reads the ruling, reported by XXL.

Durk faces accusations of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot targeting fellow rapper Quando Rondo in 2022. He has been charged with conspiracy to use interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death. Pleading not guilty to the allegations, Durk has denied any involvement.

His attorney, Drew Findling, has also dismissed the claims, stating, “The claims in the indictment against Mr. Banks are false and lacking in the most basic due diligence. The real truth is that Durk Banks is a Grammy Award-winning artist, a dedicated father, and a loving husband.”
