I mean, he is already in his 30’s, I believe, so he will be 90ish if he is ever released. That practically is LIFE. Honestly, he may never make it out; you know how many ppl want him dead that are already in prison. Sad part is working ppl will be paying for him while he is in prison from taxes. This entire situation is sad all the way around.

So how long until this fool is eligible for parole… I’ll be shocked if he even makes it that long. Can’t hide in protected custody forever! Definitely should have got LIFE without parole!! 🙄
Kimberly Wall
I think he should have received Life without the possibility of Parole.
It took this long to sentence him.
Rip Nipsey
I’m sure there are so many people in there waiting to see him.
