A judge seeks to indict a man that Lil’ Boosie allegedly hired to commit a murder.
Reports HipHopDX:
A judge has refused to throw out first-degree murder indictments and declined to suppress incriminating statements for a man that Lil’ Boosie allegedly hired for murder, reports The Advocate.
In October 2009, Boosie reportedly hired then 17-year-old Michael “Marlo Mike” Louding to kill Terry Boyd. Earlier this week, Louding’s attorney, Margaret Lagattuta, asked state District Judge Trudy White to dismiss the first-degree murder indictment in the Boyd case because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that states “cannot automatically impose life sentences without the possibility of parole on juveniles in murder cases.”
In Louisiana, a first-degree murder conviction leads to either death by lethal injection or life in prison. Now 20, Louding is not eligible for the death penalty because he was a juvenile at the time of the incident. His lawyer said that she would be unable to explain to the jury what sentence Louding might face if convicted, and will ask the state 1st Circuit Court of Appeal to review the denial to lift the indictment.
Additionally, Lagattuta asked the judge to suppress statements where he admitted involvement in five separate homicides. During Boosie’s trial, Louding testified that he and Hatch had nothing to do with Boyd’s death, and denied killing anyone else. Prosecutors believe that he lied to the jury.
Louding is currently scheduled to stand trial on March 18th.
Last year, Boosie was found not guilty in Boyd’s murder. He is presently serving an eight-year sentence for attempting to smuggle codeine, ecstasy and marijuana into jail.
And now…
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you the only reason i chose that picture is because Boosie wanted me to. When he took that picture he was looking to portray a certain look. I just helped him with that look. But…here’s what else I want to help him with – a couple of facts about that look. I call this…Silent Genocide: Facts about the Deepening Plight of Black Men in America

And now…take a look at the Lil Boosie picture again and tell me it’s a good look.








I feel you on that brother but also on the other hand you bring us images everyday of us at our worst. Weather its glorification or just reporting entertainment its all connected. Im just sayin…..
I Lil Boosie is a horrible human being, and deserves whatever punishment society deems right for a murderer, but maybe, particularly given the above mentioned statistics, Eben, perhaps Boosie, was also a victim of a very sad tragedy and crime perpetuated on Black people in America (and throughout the world).
But I see hope and rising for Black people in America. And it’s spreading across the world, slowly, but surely. I’ve lived all over the world, and I’ve seen that although Black Americans don’t travel much, in many ways they’re the most culturally influential people on the planet. Change is happening.
Thank you Eben. I’m an MBA from Howard University and sick of our low representation in corporate America. Our sisters gotta show that success is attractive to them. These thing boys are confused. God Speed….
As an artist and a asiatic man Thank you Eben… we get too caught up in the image of street life and not the reality. It is a risk and most times self murder to take up habits of the street. Numbers dont lie…we are fallling behind becoming a third class society. Listen to the lyrics then look in the mirror. Freedom Love Fortune.
