The prosecution wrapped up its case Wednesday against the man charged with murdering rapper Nipsey Hussle outside his South Los Angeles clothing store, after a one-day delay caused when the defendant was apparently attacked in a jail holding cell.
"I believe the number of shots to be within the realm of 10 to 11,'' Nguyen told the downtown Los Angeles jury hearing the case.
Deputy District Attorney John McKinney told the jury in his opening statement that the rapper had told Holder there was word on the street that he had been"snitching,'' but there was"no hostility'' before Holder left the parking lot and then returned to the strip mall a short time later firing two guns.
Holder was"so enraged'' about the rapper's accusation that he was a snitch that he returned nine minutes later"without thinking'' and"acted without premeditation'' in opening fire on him, Jansen told the panel in his opening statement. Freeman also noted that the firing of two guns -- one in each hand that Holder allegedly wielded during the shooting -- would lessen the accuracy of the shots. He noted that a two-handed grip on a gun is the best way to shoot with accuracy.
