Nipsey Hussle trial concludes with Eric Holder Jr. convicted of first-degree murder
, the trial came down to whether the shooting had been premeditated. Holder’s public defender argued for a charge of voluntary manslaughter. They presented a case that Holder had run into Hussle by chance and became agitated by Hussle’s suggestion that Holder was a police informant, returning and firing his weapon a “mere nine minutes” later.Deputy District Attorney John McKinney, meanwhile, argued that witnesses had described their initial encounter as short and civil. “It wasn’t hostile.
McKinney put forth that there was “plenty of evidence of premeditation and deliberation,” telling the jury on Thursday, “I submit to you that the motive for killing Nipsey Hussle had little or nothing to do with the conversation they had; there’s already a pre-existing jealousy. Here you have Nipsey Hussle, who is a successful artist from the same neighborhood, [and] Mr. Holder, who is an unsuccessful rap artist.
