Rapper Lil Boosie Will Not Face The Death Penalty In Upcoming Trial

Lil Boosie’s Trial will start on April 30 and it is already getting more press than what was originally expected. During the trial, jurors will only be identified by numbers and not their names. Prosecutors also said that Lil Boosie will also face a mandatory life sentence if he is convicted of the murder and therefore, death sentence is already out the window. The decision to use an anonymous jury was used because of the high-profile nature of the case. Both prosecutors and Lil Boosie’s lawyers noted that there were no specific security concerns or safety threats. Prosecutors claim Lil Boosie, born Torrence Hatch, hired Michael “Marlo Mike” Louding to kill 39-year-Terry Boyd, in October 2009. Also charged in Boyd’s death is Adrian Pittman, 37 and Michael “Marlo Mike’’ Louding, who was 16 at the time of the slaying and is also accused of murdering five other men.
