Nipsey Hussle’s killer sentenced to 60 years in prison

On Wednesday, Feb. 22, a Los Angeles courtroom sentenced the killer responsible for fatally shooting rapper Nipsey Hussle to 60 years to life in prison.

Eric Holder, who was convicted of first-degree murder in July for March 31, 2019, killing of Hussle in a parking lot outside the rapper’s South Los Angeles apparel shop, received the sentence after Judge H. Clay Jacke heard from one of Hussle’s friends and a letter from Holder’s father. Holder’s sentencing hearing had been postponed several times while his defence attorney, Aaron Jansen attempted to argue for a reduced conviction, which the judge rejected in December.

In addition to the murder charge, Holder was found guilty of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter after two other people were injured in the shooting. Prosecutors claimed that Holder, who was once a friend and member of the same gang as Nipsey Hussle, was angry over being labelled a snitch and that the shooting was premeditated. Hussle, born Ermias Asghedom, was a father of two.

R. Kelly sentenced to 30 years for s*x trafficking

American singer, R. Kelly, who had long escaped criminal penalties despite decades of sexual misconduct allegations, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison on Wednesday for racketeering and other crimes.
Prosecutors also said he used his celebrity status and wealth to lure women, as well as underage girls and boys, for sex.

The sentencing in Brooklyn marks the culmination of a stunning downfall for Mr. Kelly, 55, who falls from a superstar hitmaker, known as the king of R&B, to a shunned artist whose musical legacy has now been stained.
It would be recalled that in 2021, the disgraced singer was found guilty of sexually abusing women, boys and girls for decades.
One of his victims was R&B singer Aaliyah, who Kelly illegally wed in a Chicago hotel room in 1994 when she was 15 years old.
