Jimmy Henchman Murder Trial Results in Hung Jury (@50cent)



The murder for hire trial of former record label exec James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond and co-defendant Rodney Johnson resulted in a hung jury on March 7th on each of the four counts of murder for hire and conspiracy for both Henchman and Johnson, according to Henchman's lawyer J. Bruce Maffeo. The trial began on February 10th and included testimony from more than 35 witnesses. The jury began deliberating on March 4th.


If found guilty, Henchman could've possibly faced another life sentence according to the US Justice Department. Rosemond is currently serving a life sentence for drug trafficking, of which he was convicted of back in October 2013. The current charges relate to the shooting of Lowell "Lodi Mack" Fletcher, a G-Unit affiliate killed in the Bronx in September 2009.


50 Cent has made a number of statements in regards to Henchman's trial, including allegations of police cooperation.
