Nipsey Hussle murder accused Eric Ronald Holder Jr. who was convicted with first degree-murder; both sides delivered their closing argument on 29th June.

The man who has been convicted for murdering the renowned rapper Nipsey Hussle, three years back on 31st March 2019. The closing argument was postponed a day because Holder was assaulted and in custody by fellow jail inmates on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old convict was beaten up badly after he left the Los Angeles courtroom on Monday around 4 in the evening. His public defender, Aaron Jansen said, Holder “was attacked by two inmates and beaten. He was cut with a razor in the back of his head and received three staples. His face is swollen and his eye is swollen,”

Jansen continued, “Despite the injuries, Holder is expected back in court Wednesday morning for the expected last day of evidence in his trial, the lawyer says. Closing arguments with cameras allowed in the courtroom are due to begin Thursday”. Considering that this is a high-profile case, Holder was supposed to be kept away from other inmates.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke said, “Based on some unforeseen circumstances that are no fault of parties here, we won’t be in session today”. And all the Jurors were to return to the courtroom on Wednesday.

Nipsey Hussle was not only a Grammy award winner, but he was also a philanthropist and founder of two’s clothing stores. And he was killed in the parking area of The Marathon his clothing store in South Los Angeles 3.18 the noon. He was shot with 10 bullets directed to his right chest, his navel, and punctured his lungs.

Jansen has stated from the beginning that this murder is a “case about the heat of passion” as Hussle accused him of “snitching”, which is considered a sin in gang culture. And within 9 minutes of the incident Holder directed himself to Hussle without giving himself the time to “cool off”, his defender said.

On the last day of the case, Jansen called Herman “Cowboy” Douglas, who was Hussle’s friend, back to the witness box to re-analyze the conversation Holder and Hustle had just before the shooting incident. And after describing the initial scenario Douglas said Hussle never used the word “Snitching” in this entire conversation.

After watching every surveillance photo and video, hearing every eye-witness and testimony, this murder was not a first-degree murder but a deed in the heat of the moment.
