Earlier this month, James Rosemond, known in the hip-hop world as "Jimmy Henchman," was granted a new trial for the 2009 murder-for-hire of Lowell "Lodi Mack" Fletcher, an associate of
G-Unit 's.
A jury found him guilty of his involvement in the murder in late 2014, and he had been sentenced to life plus an additional 20 years in March of this year. That sentence has now been declared void, as a judge from a higher court has decided that the judge presiding over the original trial acted improperly. Henchman is also serving a wholly separate life sentence, as he was convicted in late 2013 for his leadership of a drug trafficking operation.
50 Cent has reacted to news of Henchman's retrial via Instagram by posting pictures of court documents that seem to suggest that Henchman has acted as an informant in past cases. 50 also called out DJ Vlad, who was able to get an interview with Henchman shortly after the recent overturning of his murder sentence. The interview has since been deleted from YouTube, though 50 shared a clip of himself listening to Vlad's conversation with Henchman, and his smile lights up during the parts that might implicate the former mogul as a snitch.
