Rapper Lil Boosie has been found not
guilty of murder, WAFB reports. Boosie,
whose real name is Torrence Hatch, was
cleared of charges of first-degree murder
in the 2009 death of Terry Boyd after a
jury deliberated over the case for nearly
two hours.
The prosecution had argued that the killing was a murder-for-hire ordered by
the rapper and executed by his
henchman, 17-year-old Michael "Marlo
Mike" Louding. Lil Boosie's defense
countered that there was no evidence to
suggest that the rapper had beef with
Boyd and that detectives had trumped up
the charges to benefit their police
department.
Lil Boosie's trial concluded around 2:44p.m. today after six days of testimony from 27 witnesses. Though the rapper is off the hook for this charge, he is currently serving an eight-year prison term on drug charges and is being held in the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.
