Previously, the sentencing for Nipsey Hussle’s killer— Eric Holder, was postponed by a judge. The sentencing for his first-degree murder conviction in Los Angeles was delayed after attorneys filed a motion asking the judge to reduce the conviction to a voluntary manslaughter charge. Since then, a judge rejected the bid from the defense.
Los Angeles Superior Court judge H. Clay Jacke reportedly denied a motion from the defense for a new trial for Holder. Previously, sentencing for the killer was supposed to be on February 22, 2022. 32-year-old Eric Holder is expected to be sentenced at a later date.

According to reports, the sentencing for the man who shot Nipsey Hussle in Los Angeles three years ago—Eric Holder Jr., was postponed.
This past Thursday, Holder was supposed to have a hearing for sentencing in his first-degree murder conviction in Los Angeles. However, the sentencing was delayed after attorneys for Holder filed a motion asking that the judge reduce the first-degree murder conviction to voluntary manslaughter.
Sources that spoke to Rolling Stone claim Eric Holder’s attorney Aaron Jansen wanted to argue the case during a new court date on December 1. This is three weeks before Holder will step in front of a judge on his new sentencing date—December 19.
Jansen told the court he would argue that the jurors in the trial gave an “inconsistent” verdict. Stay tuned for more details.
