Rapper Lil Boosie found not guilty of murder

Lil Boosie, who was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Terry Boyd, has been found not guilty. Boosie was acquitted after jurors deliberated for about an hour.

Officials believed Lil Boosie, whose real name is Torence Hatch, hired Michael “Marlo Mike” Louding to kill Terry Boyd, 35, who was shot to death through a window inside his home.

“This case not about Boosie, but who’s being tried first?” Williams asked. “Not the man who says he killed six people.”

He went on to state there is no proof Hatch had beef with Terry Boyd. He said the task force that was created needs a big arrest to keep going and then asked, “What’s bigger than a rapper going down for murder?” He told the jury no one followed up on the lead Terry Boyd’s mother gave, until last year. By that time, the man she told them to talk to was dead. Officers also said they never read the Terry Boyd file, but they were investigating.

Boyd had 15 old scars on his body from bullet wounds. An old bullet was found in him. Williams posed the question, “Was someone coming back to finish what they started?” He said this all started over a letter Lee Lucas supposedly sent telling Hatch that, “Boyd was getting out of prison and he said he’s going to ‘jack and slap you.'”

“Where is that letter? Why didn’t Lee Lucas testify?” the attorney asked.

He also stated lots of lyrics were played, but prosecutors didn’t play the one that said f— Hillar Moore. “Why?” he asked. — KSLA

Although the 29-year-old rapper was cleared of murder, he still remains in jail serving an eight-year sentence on drug charges.
