BREAKING: Eric Holder Jr. has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of rapper and community advocate Nipsey Hussle
In his closing argument Thursday, Jansen told jurors: "This was an act of impulse and rashness."
Hussle was a "successful artist from the same neighborhood as Eric Holder, who's an unsuccessful artist," the prosecutor said. "You can't bring Nipsey back ... But you can do justice. Please do justice," McKinney told the panel shortly before the case was handed over to the jury. Jansen told reporters outside court Wednesday that his client lost consciousness after being attacked Tuesday morning in a jail holding cell with other inmates while waiting to be taken to court. He subsequently underwent an MRI and required three staples to the back of his head, also suffering a swollen left eye and swelling on the left side of his face, according to the attorney.
