A rapper was aiming for redemption when he told police he'd committed a nearly 20-year-old shooting, but there are too many uncertainties to convict him of the killing that police matched with his confession, his lawyer said Tuesday.
But prosecutors told jurors there were enough similarities to find rapper G. Dep guilty.
The murder trial of the onetime rap up-and-comer, born Trevell Coleman, opened Tuesday. Jurors will have the unusual task of deciding what to make of a long-cold case that was reopened only because of his confession, which doesn't square with some key details of John Henkel's 1993 death, although it matches others.
