An appeals court denied the guy convicted of killing Nipsey Hussle’s attempt to challenge his 2022 conviction.
The California Court of Appeal rejected the appeal filed by Eric Holder, the man found guilty in a 2022 trial of Nipsey Hussle’s murder. On Tuesday, November 5, judges in the Second Appellate District of the court upheld Holder’s guilty conviction.
Holder’s attractiveness depended on two main elements. First, it centered on the idea that the court erred in rejecting a portion of his lawyer’s closing argument, which dealt with his alleged mental state. Second, it examined whether Holder’s sentence had been appropriately enhanced by a firearm. Both debates were lost by him.

The ruling states that the appellant did not testify and that the jury was not given any additional information regarding the appellant’s thoughts or emotions before the shooting. “Therefore, defense counsel’s alleged deductions regarding the appellant’s particular thoughts and emotions were not supported by the evidence.”
The ruling goes on to state that “the trial court properly exercised its discretion and fully understood when it declined to dismiss the firearm enhancement.” “Noting the high degree of cruelty, viciousness, and callousness appellant displayed in killing [Nipsey Hussle], as well as the devastating impact the murder had on the community, the People reiterated their request to sentence appellant to a term of 60 years to life.”
