Remember last year when we told you about a Atlanta rapper named Dolla who was signed to Akon’s label that was SHOT and KILLED inside a Los Angeles mall.
Well here’s how it all popped off. Dolla was in L.A. with some of his boys and they got into it with some local goons. They all started fighting and all of a sudden one of the LA dudes named Aubrey Louis Berry, pulled out a gun and started SHOOTING. Dolla was killed instantly. Aubrrey and his boys FLED THE SCENE.
Seems like an open and shut case of MURDER right . . . WRONG!! The jury acquitted dude, saying it was self defense. Here’s how the Associated Press is reporting it:
Jurors on Friday rejected prosecutors’ contentions that the killing of Dolla, whose real name was Roderick Anthony Burton II, was a callous act of apparent revenge.
Burton and his accused shooter, Aubrey Louis Berry, had been involved in a fight at an Atlanta club less than two weeks before the shooting last May.
Berry hugged his attorney after the verdict was read while Burton’s family sobbed.
Berry’s attorney had contended the shooting was an act of self-defense, emphasizing that Burton glorified a violent gangster lifestyle in his rap lyrics and online videos.
