A jury found a 32-year-old man guilty of murdering rapper Nipsey Hussle back in 2019.

Eric R. Holder Jr. was convicted of a first-degree murder charge along with two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter by a Los Angeles County jury Wednesday.

Holder and Hussle had known each other for years they grew up members of the same South Los Angeles street gang when a chance meeting outside the rappers Los Angeles clothing store led to the shooting, and his death.

The evidence against Holder was overwhelming, from eyewitnesses to surveillance cameras from local businesses that captured his arrival, the shooting and his departure.

His attorney did not even deny that he was the shooter but urged jurors to find him guilty of the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter.

The shooting of Hussle occurred after a conversation the two had about Holder being an informant for authorities. Holder's lawyer argued the shooting was brought on by "heat of passion" from being accused of "snitching" while Deputy District Attorney John McKinney argued that the nine minutes that passed allowed for the crime to be premeditated.

Nipsey Hussle death: Eric R. Holder Jr. convicted of first-degree ...

Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has said that he believes former President Donald Trump will likely face charges for his actions that led to the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol following his 2020 presidential election loss.

On Thursday, August 4, Holder appeared on SiriusXMs Urban View" where he weighed in on the investigation underway in Georgia. According to Holder, Trump's first string of charges could come from the investigative probe in Fulton County, Ga.

My eyes are on Fulton County first. Look at the Justice Department in 2023, Holder told the radio show.

He also admitted he believes Trump will also face charges from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). However, those charges will likely come shortly after the conclusion of the midterm elections.

My guess is that by the end of this process, youre going to see indictments involving high-level people in the White House, youre going to see indictments against people outside the White House who were advising them with regard to the attempt to steal the election, Holder said.

He continued, And I think ultimately youre probably going to see the president, former president of the United States indicted as well.

Holder's remarks come nearly one month after The Washington Post reported on the expansion of the DOJ's investigation. Speaking to NBC News' Lester Holt during a recent interview, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland also weighed in on the investigation and vowed that the justice department would pursue justice without fear or favor.

We intend to hold everyone, anyone who was criminally responsible for events surrounding Jan. 6, for any attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer of power from one administration to another, accountable. Thats what we do. We dont pay any attention to other issues with respect to that, Garland said.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) has also expressed interest in the department pursuing charges against Trump.

They have to make decisions about prosecution understanding what it means if the facts and the evidence are there, and they decide not to prosecute, how do we then call ourselves a nation of laws? I think thats a very serious, serious balancing, Cheney said.

Eric Holder's Contempt Case Trends Amid Bannon Sentence 'Double Standards' - Newsweek

Former President Trump's legal counsel said on the Mark Levin Show that he's preparing to file a Fourth Amendment-related legal challenge "very soon" against the Department of Justice in relation to the Mar-a-Lago raid.

James Trusty, a former federal prosecutor, said that Trump's legal team is going to "weigh in very strong and very hard," stating that they are going to be "attacking" the search warrant used in the FBI's raid on the former president's Florida estate.

"It should be something that gets publicly filed. So the whole United States will get to read this thing," Trusty said regarding the action the former president will take. As for the timing of the move, Trusty said Monday is a "possiblity" but added "it's probably going to be more like hours."

"It's coming very soon," he said.

"You know, the Fourth Amendment requires particularity. It requires narrowness to the intrusion on the person's home. And this warrant had language in it. And keep in mind, all we've seen is a warrant and an inventory. But the warrant has language in it about if you find a classified document, you can take the whole box around, it and you can take any boxes near it. And that's really the functional equivalent of a general search. There's just no limit to that kind of scope in the warrant," Trusty said on the Mark Levin Show.

Trusty said that Trump is "entitled" to a specific inventory list of what was taken from Mar-a-Lago, and went on to say that the property receipt, which was publicly released, is a "very vague document."

"We are way behind in terms of the government playing fair and giving us the details that we're entitled to," Trusty said.

He also called it "perplexing" that FBI agents grabbed items such as attorney-client privileged information and passports belonging to the former president.

Agents from the FBI executed a search warrant on Trump's Florida estate on Aug. 8 and seized items, which include 11 sets of material that are listed as classified, as well as some that were marked as top secret.

Trump has denied that any of the materials in his possession at Mar-a-Lago were classified.

Trump's attorney also called for a "judicial intervention" at the district court level that "can help us vindicate the First Amendment rights of the president," adding "we're going to come out swinging."

Trusty called for a third party to get involved with the goal of stopping the Justice Department "in their tracks when it comes to inspecting these documents."

"They shouldn't have anybody filter team or not, looking at these materials right now because of the nature of this search and the misrepresentations, frankly, that we're getting from the DOJ about why they did the search and even how they conducted it," Trusty said on the Mark Levin Show.

He said that this is "bizarre territory" and said that it is "worrisome territory in terms of the historic precedent of it," also stating that there are large amounts of documents that were taken that are subject to privilege.

"We think there's a legitimate large swath of potential documents subject to privilege, and we're not willing to just take it on faith," Trusty said.

Trump previewed the legal challenge on Friday in a Truth Social post, stating that a "major motion" would soon be filed.

"A major motion pertaining to the Fourth Amendment will soon be filed concerning the illegal Break-In of my home, Mar-a-Lago, right before the ever important Mid-Term Elections. My rights, together with the rights of all Americans, have been violated at a level rarely seen before in our Country. Remember, they even spied on my campaign. The greatest Witch Hunt in USA history has been going on for six years, with no consequences to the scammers. It should not be allowed to continue!," Trump said.

Trump legal counsel vows 'Fourth Amendment based' challenge to Mar-a ...

The City of Jackson will be reinstating time-restricted parking within the city starting in January, according to Mayor Scott Conger.

After a federal appeals court ruled in April that chalking tires without a warrant was a violation of the fourth amendment, city officials had no way to enforce the two-hour parking limit in many downtown parking spotsleaving the numerous two-hour parking signs to be little more than street-side dcor.

The lack of monitoring has caused a problem for local businesses, however, as downtown employees or residents fill short-term parking meant for shoppers, resulting in very little downtown parking for commerce or tourism.

Weve been working with the new downtown development director, and we met with downtown businesses and parking attendants about what we could do, said Conger, following deliberations about the change at the last city agenda review meeting. People will park and just be inside buildings all day. And we have a lot more business downtown now and more commerce, so we really needed to figure out a way to implement that again.

The rules will now be enforced via license plate scanners, not chalk markings, which Conger says will be implemented by parking attendants with the Jackson Police Department.

Well be contacting businesses and downtown residents about it in the coming months, so theres little confusion, Conger said.

Frequent long-term downtown parkers arent out of luck, however, as Beth Ann Simpson, the new Jackson Downtown Development Corporation Director, is working with City Planning Director Stan Pilant on increased public awareness on free, unrestricted parking.

Were in the initial stages, but what we were hearing from people who live and work downtown was that theres not enough parking, Simpson said. Theres this perception of no parkingthats been a conversation for years. But there are actually plenty of parking spots. Its just a matter of educating people on where those spots are.

Simpson says its more of a conversation on convenience, and less on availability.

I think often people want to park right in front of the door theyre walking in, she explained. And so this is really an educational opportunity to just create better signage, both digitally and physically, to better communicate parking issues. It kind of feels like a great first big project for JDDC.

Throughout the coming months, the JDDC will be working to create a more accessible mapand better public signageto help tourists and residents find parking options amongst downtowns five public, unlimited parking lots.

Were working on a better map of the five lots, and were creating better signage indicating where those are, she said. (Freeing up short term parking) encourages people who are just stopping in to downtown that they can park closebut those who are working downtown, or live in the buildings, they can park on the fringe.

Simpson stated that downtown residents will be given a special parking tag so they can park close to their residences.

Increasing walking downtown will also increase commerce, Simpson added.

We want to create walkability so that, when you park in the Jackson Energy Authority lot or something and you walk down an alleyway, you realize how walkable it actually is, she said. And it increases business trafficyou walk past businesses you didnt realize were there. So trying to educate folks through signage and digital communication that downtown is very walkable is really key.

While the final map wont be available by the January implementation, Conger is positive that the move will help downtown health.

This seemed like a logical first step, he said. Nothing we do is an end-all-be-alleverything we do is progress and trying to figure out what the next step is. So this is the first step in trying to enhance the parking of downtown.
