The result? He’s out of jail and at home on house arrest. Although, the popular podcast host, whose real name is Daryl Campbell has to cough up some loot.
“He had a gun in his hand and he murdered someone!”
Per Billboard [via HNHH]:
The popular podcast host, whose real name is Daryl Campbell, 31, is required to put up at least $350,000 in cash or property as a part of his bail agreement. He is permitted to leave his home only to record his Tax Season podcast. Prosecutors have appealed the judge’s decision to grant Campbell bail. The appeal will take place Wednesday.
He was arrested on Monday in connection with last May’s shooting at Irving Plaza that left Troy Ave’s bodyguard Ronald McPhatter dead. Police found his DNA on “the trigger, hand grip and magazine” of the gun that killed McPhatter. The prosecution believes Campbell shot Troy Ave, with whom he had had a long-standing beef, and inadvertently shot McPhatter.
“He had a gun in his hand and he murdered someone,” Assistant District Attorney Hagan Scotten argued in court.
