    One of the men who's on trial for Young Dolph's murder not only confessed to the crime, but he also pointed the finger at his co-defendant and another alleged conspirator.

    The trial began with an explosive start on Monday, September 23, after the prosecution laid out the allegations against Justin Johnson, Cornelius Smith and Hernandez Govan. During his testimony, Smith, who is the second gunman seen in the eye-popping footage of the shooting, testified that he and Johnson fired multiple shots into Madeka's Cookies in Memphis. He also revealed that he and Johnson FaceTimed Yo Gotti's late brother Big Jook, who allegedly ordered the hit.

    "I wasn't feeling nothing at the time," Smith said on the stand. "I was just trying to get some money ... I saw him standing by the window. I just got out of the car and started shooting."

    Smith admitted that Jook put a price on Dolph's head to the tune of $100,000 and confirmed Govan was the one who told him and Johnson about the bounty. He shared that he and Johnson planned to keep $40,000 each and give Govan $20,000 in total. He also explained various aspects of the shooting and even revealed he and Johnson were struck with bullets after Dolph's brother Marcus shot back at them. Smith said he was hit in the arm, back and leg but was able to treat himself with a medical kit at an apartment nearby.

    Even though they pulled off the hit, Smith said he and Johnson never received the amount they were promised. Instead, Smith said he received a total of $800 and that's it. Smith, Johnson and Govan are all facing murder charges. If convicted, they could face life in prison without parole.

    Of course, he implicated others. Everybody's solid until they're facing them years. I don't know why people choose the hard way to learn when God gives us a clear path to success in life and after.
