Harlem rapper G-Dep released from jail. He OUT! 2024

I always wondered how they know the person he admitted shooting was the person they sentenced him for murdering.. was that the only shooting in the area that night...And If i remembered right he was smoking wet so were his details correct or did they fill in the blanks

and 15 to life for coming in and turning himself in for a cold case seemed like a lot. had he not come forward that case would have remained unsolved
 
Man fuck that, Pigs gotta earn their salary fucking with me. Even if I felt guilty, and contemplated confessing. My self preservation gene would kick it, and shut that shit down PDQ......
I guess I would have to be him or in that situation, but I'd rather spend my life being productive helping the living than sitting in jail.i don't think me sitting in jail would relieve my guilt for taking someones life and you could mentor the youth to repent for your crime.
 
You know I was one of the people calling him a dumbass for confessing after all that time, but truly you can't put a price on peace of mind. The shit was eating away at dude and if that shit drove his addiction then that was a hell of a monkey to get off his back.
 
Depends on why he did it. Was it buoy mode or street justice or,business. That should weigh in on how you feel about that
 
Good timing. Diddy down bad, maybe he can hop on a lawsuit and get some coming home money. :lol:

I don't agree with this


NEW YORK -- Rapper Travell “G. Dep” Coleman, who walked into a New York police precinct in 2010 and admitted to committing a nearly two-decade-old cold case murder to clear his conscience, has been granted clemency by Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Now 49, Coleman has served 13 of a 15-year-to-life sentence. With his sentence being commuted by the Democratic governor, he will now be allowed to seek parole earlier than his original 2025 date

Coleman is one of 16 individuals granted clemency by Hochul in an announcement made Friday. They include 12 pardons and four commutations. It marked the third time Hochul has granted clemency in 2023.

“Through the clemency process, it is my solemn responsibility as governor to recognize the efforts individuals have made to improve their lives and show that redemption is possible,” Hochul said in a written statement.

The rapper earned an associate's degree while in prison and facilitated violence prevention and sobriety counseling programs, while also participating in a variety of educational and rehabilitative classes, according to Hochul's office. His clemency application was supported by the prosecutor in the case and the judge who sentenced him.

As G. Dep, Coleman had hits with “Special Delivery” and “Let’s Get It” and helped popularize a loose-limbed dance called the Harlem shake in the early 2000s. The rapper was one of the rising stars of hip-hop impresario Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Bad Boy Records label in the late 1990s and early 2000s. But his career slumped after his 2001 debut album, “Child of the Ghetto," and the rapper became mired in drug use and low-level arrests, his lawyer said in 2011.

Attorney Anthony L. Ricco said at the time that Coleman “had been haunted” by the 1993 fatal shooting of John Henkel and decided to confess to shooting someone as a teenager during a robbery in East Harlem. Henkel was shot three times in the chest outside an apartment complex.

His brother, Robert Henkel, had demanded Hochul reject the urgings by prosecutor David Drucker to release Coleman, calling it a “farce.” He told the New York Post that “it is one thing to seek (clemency) for drug crimes - but not murder.”
