I wish it was that simple. Calling him a snitch in certain neighborhoods is tantamount to a death sentence. I don't know whether they were in a gang controlled neighborhood but it's a very veeeery dangerous word.
@Doctor President dude is pretending since he needed a gun to smoke him. Only cowards pull weapons on unarmed people without initiation of violence by the other party.
Calling a man a snitch in neighborhoods with high incarceration rates is putting a death sentence on him. Especially if said by such a prominent community member. I'm not even joking. (I was a social worker 17 years).
“Allow me to reintroduce myself” ?? Who u think 🤔 u are Jay Z?? Now he talking bout tattle telling & movies😤😔 get to the point ‼️ he was jealous so he shot Nipsey point blank Periodt 🤦🏾♀️😤
I think it’s disrespectful to use past interviews of the victim to justify why he was murdered. That’s poor defense work. Just shows they have zero evidence to prove why Eric did what he did.
They should show how nipsey built a court for school children and employed people and wanted to change the community for the greater good and was truly doing good things.
he bought a hamburger in the meanwhile, so nothing he can ever say can change the fact that it's 1st degree murder but who cares anyway, he'll die in prison, one way or the other
Yup first degree “premeditated murder” an to much evidence that points to that he planned that morning he was gonna kill Nipsey if he seen him at store.
Please upload this entire trial or allow us to watch it live just as we were allowed to watch the Depp/ Heard deformation trial. This trial is just as important.
He clearly doesn't think this line of reasoning will keep his client out of prison. His lawyer is trying to reduce the charge from 1st degree murder to involuntary manslaughter by showing it was not premeditated. Don't think it'll work though because didn't he leave and come back?
Actually, he's shooting for voluntary manslaughter. There can be a thin line between first degree murder and voluntary manslaughter. That's why Mr. Jenson said it all happened pretty quick - less than ten minutes. For voluntary manslaughter, all you need is provocation that will make an ordinarily reasonable person act rashly. And you take into consideration any "cooling period" before the fatal shot. All legitimate questions. But confidence is low.
Drive around the block. "You're not shooting out of my car" So she parked an he walked to shoot. Not premeditated? How much more planning do you need. He had 2 handguns on his person. Loaded. When he was done, he had a empty mag an used brass in the revolver. This guy will go for life.
If someone calls you a snitch and you react by immediately killing them, then maybe this defense can fly. But to then leave the scene, grab a meal and the return to shoot the person looks like a stone cold first degree premeditated murder with malice. This guy will no doubt get life without parole.
How tho people call me bad names all the time I don’t shot and kill them when they call me out my name. or wait till I get of work and pull-up to their place of work of living and shot them 😂😭 wtf
No he needs the chair! His lack of value for human life is enough even if he did do it on the spot after bein called a snitch. That is the corniest reason to kill another person cause he called u a snitch like WTF🤷🏾♂️

That's not a reason to shoot and kill someone and it's no reason to reduce the charge. I've been called way worse in my life and I haven't killed anyone.
yeah obviously.. but this just a tactic within the court system to reduce the charges against the defendant. Any time you pull a lethal weapon out on an unarmed party that didn't even initiate any violence with you; that makes you a coward that planned to murder that person.

Yeah, that's a losing argument. This is what you do as a defense attorney when they aren't offering you a plea (or your client refuses to take one) and you have ZERO argument.
"no one likes a tattletail" But it was also proven in the 1983 case of James V. Greene that " Stick and stones make break my bones but words may never hurt me"
5:45 Just because you don't know someone, you can still premeditate to murder them. Holder knew people of the public were around when started shooting after 9 minutes of premeditation. How on earth this case went on trial in the first place?!
@@piccolo1525 Everyone has the right for a trial. Not everyone deserves it. The majority of criminals will save the tax payers money and take a plea deal. This one wanted the fame and publicity of a trial. I hope he'll be locked away for good.
If I was a Public Defender, I would NOT advise my client to take a plea, here’s why; the charge is First Degree Premeditated Murd3r, which means the Prosecution must prove premeditation, all the Defense has to do is convince ONE juror that it was NOT premeditated, the jurors must unanimously vote on a guilty verdict but all it takes is one juror to make it a hung jury and his client gets off on a hung jury verdict and if the jury pool is at all tainted in anyway, guess who walks away a free man? Yes, The Defense is not denying murd3r, its the premeditation part which just might hang the jury. This is just my opinion nothing more. I pray Nipsey gets justice but the Prosecution is not strongly and convincingly proving premeditation in my opinion.
Nipsey Hussle should have never entertained Eric holder . He didn’t have to tell him that everyone in the neighborhood was saying he was an snitch and have some form of paperwork on him. He should have discussed that with his close friends in private. Also, why didn’t he tell his security guards where he was going? You in a bad area and you don’t bring your security with you? The shooter had too much access to him and also the folks that was standing around him that day. He should’ve payed attention to his surroundings.
I have to agree , he should have just said hi and kept it moving. Holder was already triggered by the girl being excited to see nip then nip embarrassed him in front of other gang affiliates, not making excuses for holder but it is what it is
@@cmn4223 You are right I agree. I like Nipsey Hussle rap songs but I believe he had too much pride. He didn’t think no one would do something like that to him and it did happen to him. All of the stuff he says in his raps, I thought he would’ve known better not to call someone a snitch.
He could of seek advice from his lawyer and summon the deceased for defamation of character, instead of shooting to kill him . His actions were deliberate for which he should receive maximum punished, he is not insane, he knew what he was doing when he applied the laws of the jungle. . Send a message to young men that this behaviour is unacceptable, as this encourages criminal behaviour in the community and this is not a good example for youths. Now their are many youths out there who need anger management, which should be put on the school curriculum.
how would he sue for defamation of character when he broke and got no money????? and it's not like nipsey was out there in media talking down on his name being a snitch. It was a civil matter.
He must have been a “snitch” to have felt the need to take someone’s life. Put him under the jail and stop wasting taxpayer’s money. It wasn’t about no “heat of passion”it was about a coward that took a man away from his family and everyone that love him.
@@ninobrown3394 well that’s obvious if there’s something similar to this. Anytime a defense attorney has to defend a person that was actually guilty I feel that way.
@@kahunalos8105 there's 5 million ppl in L.A. n not one of them has come out n said I got questioned, arrested or locked up bcuz Eric Holder snitched on me. It's been 3yrs! n no paperwork or human being claiming they been snitched on.
It doesn’t appear Law&Crime is going to stream this, which is vexing to me, as I imagine it would potentially rival the Depp v Heard case. Hopefully we at least get snippets.
It wouldn't rival the heard trial, just stop. Nipssey is no longer here. Had he been the perpetrator against someone else and present at trial, then maybe yeah
Snitch is one of the most serious tags to put on someone. The lawyer (for once) wasn't just spouting some half-assed spin for a jury; this guy could've easily been killed for what the rapper said. Go play your magic the gathering and leave men's subjects to the adults.
@@jx14aby I was saying that dude sentence Nipsey to death for name calling. I know dude isn't going to get the death Penalty. Just a bad argument for the defense to make.
No remorse no feelings with a splash of a smirk on his face you can see it all over his face he’s smiling and could careless and as crazy as it sounds some people respects him this world is evil and disgusting. My heart goes out to NIPSEY family especially the kids. NIPSEY you will be missed
WTF you killed Nip and injured others and your defense is someone called you a snitch? WTF why didn't you show the paperwork? No, like Boosie BadAss said you was "blinded with hatred" and jealousy. Rot
Poor comparison. Johnny Depp had a good case. Compare him to Amber's lawyers. Because even then, everything that public defender said was the truth. Nipsey was a gang member and he know the rules.
Well Casey Anthony had a public defender… so it’s not about that. The fact is there’s no defense to a brutal murder which is why the defense is only trying for a lesser charge because they know they don’t stand a chance
Ever heard the saying "sticks and stones can hurt my bones, but words can never harm me." I do not believe name calling (snitch) is a reason to murder a person. Whether Holden was labeled a snitch or not he is not a man, but a punk. He needs to go to jail for the rest of his life. Nipsey was trying to bring about peace and comradery. Nipsey was also a father and role model.
If Eric holder does not get life sentence with no chance of parole, I will lose complete faith in the justice system and will participate in the riot if it happens. Keyword if.
"Scarface" was the public defender's setup - but he forgot the punchline, which might have sounded like this... "In other words, in the streets, Nipsy accusing Mr. Holder of being a 'snitch' was nothing short of a potential death sentence to Mr. Holder... I don't know about you, but if someone tried to destroy my reputation, and even cause my own death - I'd get pretty passionate myself. And that's what this was. A crime of passion."
It was a death sentence. After contemplating should he move, should he hideout, should he just b real careful, should he just carry a weapon everywhere, should he try to convince ppl etc., he came to the conclusion that he couldn't get out of the death sentence. At that point his logic was, if he gotta die then so does Nip. That's y it took 9 minutes, he was processing n panicking. He still has to face the consequences for killing Nip in broad daylight in front of ppl that know them both n on camera.
@@ericatalk4441 the District Attorney said that he would be using it interchangeably because the public knows him as Nipsey Hussle. They want the public to know who they are referring too. Others were shot in this incident, so it makes sense to use his stage name…not many know is birth name. 🙏🏽
Sorry sir sixty’s is not the largest in la , defense started out with a big lie …with a defense like this that just comes out and say my client shot and killed not allegedly, they don’t need a prosecutor..
So why did he double back if it was an initial reaction? He could've shot him and left, but thats not what happened. The attorney can't prove that Nipsey said anything prior to being shot the 2nd time.
These rappers get killed because they can't get away from their previous lives...he shouldn't have gone up to an active gang member and called him a snitch.putting a death sentence on someones head...He's was a rich man who should've got away from that lifestyle .simple as that.
I’m not justifying it all bc I’m not part of that world but I guess calling someone a snitch in that world is like casting them out and once they are cast out they need to be dealt with eventually. So in a sense it was a shot at his loyalty to their gang and that’s all they have so it was pretty much a death sentence to him. At least that’s the defense they are going with and they could say it was self defense at this point
this lawyer should be sued for malpractice, wtf kind of defense is this? At least say his client feared for his life, that he was threatened to be killed for snitching and he acted in in self-defense. Poor people get no representation
I see all these comments saying "it's not okay to kill someone because they called you a snitch" ok cool....But it's ok to kill someone for switching? Make it make sense 🤣🤣🤣
If you are a gang member with influence, and you call another gang member a snitch, you’re putting a death sentence on him, in a gang is the cheapest way to put a hit on someone, extremely dangerous thing to do, I don’t even underestimate crackheads sleeping on the streets
So because he claims nip called him a snitch it was okay to kill him? That’s crazy if Los Angeles is letting that go down. He admitted to killing him wow 😳
Since when do they refer to the deceased victim by their nickname. Glad his family not showing up to watch the trash being taken out. Nipsey was loved by his family and close friends but his set was jealous of him and sent this 2 handed shooter (true to his nickname) POS to handle him. Thats the only reason he is able to walk around in that suit otherwise it would be covered in dirt. If he did not plan this why did he just happen to have 2 guns. Wouldnt be surprised if this same PD Lawyers weren't Rollin 60's and Big U gathered and scraped the money from the bottom to pay somebody to help their boy walk right out the door and get picked up around the corner by whats his name BobCat? Alley Cat? Cowboy.
“He called me a bad name so I ended his life”. Phenomenal defense at its best.
I wish it was that simple. Calling him a snitch in certain neighborhoods is tantamount to a death sentence. I don't know whether they were in a gang controlled neighborhood but it's a very veeeery dangerous word.

@@piccolo1525 Everyone has the right for a trial. Not everyone deserves it. The majority of criminals will save the tax payers money and take a plea deal. This one wanted the fame and publicity of a trial. I hope he'll be locked away for good.
Lmfaooo defense wants his client to go to prison 🤣🤣🤣
clearly lol
Just asking where can we watch it all the way through?
How could he stand there and waste everybody time to defend him.
Were they expecting this?
Suspect: he called me a snitch
Judge: so you killed him?
Suspect: yeah
Judge: well. You're free to go
No but 20 years sounds better than life without parole or a death sentence. That’s what their going for
@@Jmangruem someone with sense
@@Jmangruem not gonna happen his soul and his soul alone will leave prison
If I was his public defender I'd be telling him to take a plea,I wouldn't be trying to save him.
If I was a Public Defender, I would NOT advise my client to take a plea, here’s why; the charge is First Degree Premeditated Murd3r, which means the Prosecution must prove premeditation, all the Defense has to do is convince ONE juror that it was NOT premeditated, the jurors must unanimously vote on a guilty verdict but all it takes is one juror to make it a hung jury and his client gets off on a hung jury verdict and if the jury pool is at all tainted in anyway, guess who walks away a free man? Yes, The Defense is not denying murd3r, its the premeditation part which just might hang the jury. This is just my opinion nothing more. I pray Nipsey gets justice but the Prosecution is not strongly and convincingly proving premeditation in my opinion.
You kill someone and you want to blame the person you killed????Crazy
This has to be a joke…
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ I know these attorneys are trying to do their job. This is a terrible defense! Calling you something does not give u the right to kill
Wow this is insane
Nipsey Hussle should have never entertained Eric holder . He didn’t have to tell him that everyone in the neighborhood was saying he was an snitch and have some form of paperwork on him. He should have discussed that with his close friends in private. Also, why didn’t he tell his security guards where he was going? You in a bad area and you don’t bring your security with you? The shooter had too much access to him and also the folks that was standing around him that day. He should’ve payed attention to his surroundings.
I have to agree , he should have just said hi and kept it moving. Holder was already triggered by the girl being excited to see nip then nip embarrassed him in front of other gang affiliates, not making excuses for holder but it is what it is
@@cmn4223
You are right I agree. I like Nipsey Hussle rap songs but I believe he had too much pride. He didn’t think no one would do something like that to him and it did happen to him. All of the stuff he says in his raps, I thought he would’ve known better not to call someone a snitch.
Holder is a dangerous man, he needs to be removed from the public. Was Hussle really shot ten times? Whatever he said, that's an overkill.
@@verabolton jealousy. Nipsey made it, he didn’t. He’s a loser with loser mentality.
Yup, I wish Nipsey had separated himself from this area and these type of ppl once he became successful. It’s simply not safe.
He could of seek advice from his lawyer and summon the deceased for defamation of character, instead of shooting to kill him . His actions were deliberate for which he should receive maximum punished, he is not insane, he knew what he was doing when he applied the laws of the jungle. . Send a message to young men that this behaviour is unacceptable, as this encourages criminal behaviour in the community and this is not a good example for youths. Now their are many youths out there who need anger management, which should be put on the school curriculum.
100percent
how would he sue for defamation of character when he broke and got no money????? and it's not like nipsey was out there in media talking down on his name being a snitch. It was a civil matter.
Or don't be jealous of another mans succeas
He must have been a “snitch” to have felt the need to take someone’s life. Put him under the jail and stop wasting taxpayer’s money. It wasn’t about no “heat of passion”it was about a coward that took a man away from his family and everyone that love him.
He felt disrespected that’s why in gang culture being labeled a rat is probably the worse thing you can be labeled as
public defender needs to iron his suit wtf bro doing hahahahha
And a new barber.
If it walks likes a duck quacks like a duck then it must be a SNITCH 🤪
Notice how the defense lawyer only uses the rap name “Nipsey Hussle“ instead of his born name Ermias Asghedom.
He’s trying to dehumanize him.
why is this even a case??? he's guilty point blank period!!! this should be a 3 day trial at best!
I feel sorry for the defense because they have to make a BS stand for Eric Holder even though they know it’s useless
Well in that case you should feel sorry for the majority of defense attorneys
@@ninobrown3394 well that’s obvious if there’s something similar to this. Anytime a defense attorney has to defend a person that was actually guilty I feel that way.
It ain't BS! Nip gave Eric a death sentence by publicly labeling him a snitch
@@babygl70 I’m sure word already got around the hood he was a snitch before Nip said it.
@@kahunalos8105 there's 5 million ppl in L.A. n not one of them has come out n said I got questioned, arrested or locked up bcuz Eric Holder snitched on me. It's been 3yrs! n no paperwork or human being claiming they been snitched on.
If this defense works it will just show how flawed the American justice system is.
What kind of defense is that? That’s embarrasing
It doesn’t appear Law&Crime is going to stream this, which is vexing to me, as I imagine it would potentially rival the Depp v Heard case. Hopefully we at least get snippets.
Yeah nobody it streaming it live .
It wouldn't rival the heard trial, just stop.
Nipssey is no longer here. Had he been the perpetrator against someone else and present at trial, then maybe yeah
Thank you for showing this
Name calling!! Sentenced to death!! Makes sense..
Snitch is one of the most serious tags to put on someone. The lawyer (for once) wasn't just spouting some half-assed spin for a jury; this guy could've easily been killed for what the rapper said.
Go play your magic the gathering and leave men's subjects to the adults.
Death is not a choice in this case. This is a sentencing hearing; Nothing more.
@@jx14aby it’s the beginning of the trial not a sentencing although the death penalty is not an option for some reason
@@jx14aby I was saying that dude sentence Nipsey to death for name calling. I know dude isn't going to get the death Penalty. Just a bad argument for the defense to make.
@@brendanmccardle4243 "Name calling"
You're trying to post about something you have zero understanding of.
Why are you here, kid?
Eric was triggered before he stepped out of that car with that gun. Envy and hate got the best of him.
This defense lawyer is not helping him at all. This is why you pay big money to go free lol
you don't go free when there's eye witnesses and camera footage
@@homerdadon6363 its a joke...
This whole trial is a waste of time - just send this waste of space to jail
You have to allow “wastes of space” a trial. Because if you deny anyone a trial, then innocent people will be the ones taking the hit
@@piccolo1525 Correct, but this guy is as guilty as they come
No remorse no feelings with a splash of a smirk on his face you can see it all over his face he’s smiling and could careless and as crazy as it sounds some people respects him this world is evil and disgusting. My heart goes out to NIPSEY family especially the kids. NIPSEY you will be missed
Worst defense in the history of all trials. 🤦🏽♂️
WTF you killed Nip and injured others and your defense is someone called you a snitch? WTF why didn't you show the paperwork? No, like Boosie BadAss said you was "blinded with hatred" and jealousy. Rot
Please add more when it comes this trial! We are wanting to see this as it unfolds. Thank you !
This is one time I wish I could be picked for jury duty especially in another state
Now we see how poor people get defended...HUGE difference from Johnny's lawyers
Even if he was rich and could afford a lawyers and not a public defender, this murder can’t be justified.
Poor comparison. Johnny Depp had a good case. Compare him to Amber's lawyers. Because even then, everything that public defender said was the truth. Nipsey was a gang member and he know the rules.
Well Casey Anthony had a public defender… so it’s not about that. The fact is there’s no defense to a brutal murder which is why the defense is only trying for a lesser charge because they know they don’t stand a chance
Don't insult Johnny by mentioning his name under this video. This is a murder case here.
He had a high ranking defense attorney but he backed out of the case because he was receiving death threats.
Ever heard the saying "sticks and stones can hurt my bones, but words can never harm me." I do not believe name calling (snitch) is a reason to murder a person. Whether Holden was labeled a snitch or not he is not a man, but a punk. He needs to go to jail for the rest of his life. Nipsey was trying to bring about peace and comradery. Nipsey was also a father and role model.
If Eric holder does not get life sentence with no chance of parole, I will lose complete faith in the justice system and will participate in the riot if it happens. Keyword if.
You’ll never know… the judge is sleeping… 😀🤣😂
So for him to be called a snitch gave him the right to murder someone? Haha what the?
The defence lawyer is a clown is it even legal for to assume and describe any personal information about the deceased victim. Rest in paradise Nip 🕊
This why you don’t get a Public defender yall 😂
"Scarface" was the public defender's setup - but he forgot the punchline, which might have sounded like this... "In other words, in the streets, Nipsy accusing Mr. Holder of being a 'snitch' was nothing short of a potential death sentence to Mr. Holder... I don't know about you, but if someone tried to destroy my reputation, and even cause my own death - I'd get pretty passionate myself. And that's what this was. A crime of passion."
Crime of passion got to happen asap not drive away and go eat a lil bit then go do it
A crime of passion happens in that very moment. Not going away for 9mins then coming back
It was a death sentence. After contemplating should he move, should he hideout, should he just b real careful, should he just carry a weapon everywhere, should he try to convince ppl etc., he came to the conclusion that he couldn't get out of the death sentence. At that point his logic was, if he gotta die then so does Nip. That's y it took 9 minutes, he was processing n panicking. He still has to face the consequences for killing Nip in broad daylight in front of ppl that know them both n on camera.
Wait so that’s the defense?!? He killed a dude for calling him a snitch
Why are they referring to Nipsey by his stage name?
Thought the same
They told the court that they would be using his name interchangeable with his government name.
@@lizamimi Did they say why?
@@ericatalk4441 the District Attorney said that he would be using it interchangeably because the public knows him as Nipsey Hussle. They want the public to know who they are referring too. Others were shot in this incident, so it makes sense to use his stage name…not many know is birth name. 🙏🏽
Sorry sir sixty’s is not the largest in la , defense started out with a big lie …with a defense like this that just comes out and say my client shot and killed not allegedly, they don’t need a prosecutor..
So why did he double back if it was an initial reaction? He could've shot him and left, but thats not what happened. The attorney can't prove that Nipsey said anything prior to being shot the 2nd time.
Calling a gang member a snitch with no proof is a death sentence period
Look at him. He don’t care one bit about what he did. He looks heavily sedated.
What a big baby. Over words?!
He called him a snitch? What does that make it ok?
Rest in peace Nipsey 💙🕊…. Missed ! And the marathon continues . And I hope this poor excuse of a human get the book thrown at him 👹
These rappers get killed because they can't get away from their previous lives...he shouldn't have gone up to an active gang member and called him a snitch.putting a death sentence on someones head...He's was a rich man who should've got away from that lifestyle .simple as that.
Ah, yes. Calling someone a word is a justifiable act for murder.
@@tylerd1297 that mfo gone get life
I’m not justifying it all bc I’m not part of that world but I guess calling someone a snitch in that world is like casting them out and once they are cast out they need to be dealt with eventually. So in a sense it was a shot at his loyalty to their gang and that’s all they have so it was pretty much a death sentence to him. At least that’s the defense they are going with and they could say it was self defense at this point
Being called a snitch is one of the worst things to be called on the streets
this lawyer should be sued for malpractice, wtf kind of defense is this? At least say his client feared for his life, that he was threatened to be killed for snitching and he acted in in self-defense. Poor people get no representation
holder's legal aid is a joker, he should be in The Simpsons
Prosecutors won’t need to do much in this case by the looks of things….. pulling the mental health card won’t work neither.
This fool actually thought he had a chance to live in the world even after doing time. He woulda get a KTS dre soon as he steps out prison. Fool
I see all these comments saying "it's not okay to kill someone because they called you a snitch" ok cool....But it's ok to kill someone for switching? Make it make sense 🤣🤣🤣
rip nipsey
If you are a gang member with influence, and you call another gang member a snitch, you’re putting a death sentence on him, in a gang is the cheapest way to put a hit on someone, extremely dangerous thing to do, I don’t even underestimate crackheads sleeping on the streets
So because he claims nip called him a snitch it was okay to kill him? That’s crazy if Los Angeles is letting that go down. He admitted to killing him wow 😳
No. He’s arguing it isn’t first degree murder. He’s trying to get a lighter sentence
@@piccolo1525 over for him. No hope for him.
This Guy Got a Public Defender🤯
Since when do they refer to the deceased victim by their nickname. Glad his family not showing up to watch the trash being taken out. Nipsey was loved by his family and close friends but his set was jealous of him and sent this 2 handed shooter (true to his nickname) POS to handle him. Thats the only reason he is able to walk around in that suit otherwise it would be covered in dirt. If he did not plan this why did he just happen to have 2 guns. Wouldnt be surprised if this same PD Lawyers weren't Rollin 60's and Big U gathered and scraped the money from the bottom to pay somebody to help their boy walk right out the door and get picked up around the corner by whats his name BobCat? Alley Cat? Cowboy.
Boom
Shows a picture of dude hanging out of the helicopter from Scarface movie LOL 😂 WTF 😳
