For the second time, former Hip Hop entertainment mogul James Rosemond (better known as Jimmy Henchman) has been found guilty of hiring men to kill Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher, an associate of 50 Cent and G-Unit.
Henchman’s original trial resulted in a hung jury but he was ultimately convicted of murder-for-hire in 2014 and sentenced to life in prison the following year for orchestrating Fletcher’s death in 2009. Last year, a judge ruled that there should be new trial due to the second court case being unfair yet the end result was the same. A Manhattan federal jury convicted Henchman once again on Tuesday evening (November 28), according to the New York Post.
Prosecutors say Henchman, who previously managed The Game, orchestrated the hit in response to Fletcher attacking his son in 2007. Tony Yayo and his crew reportedly got into a confrontation with Henchman’s then 14-year-old son for wearing a t-shirt with the logo of Game’s management. Fletcher eventually copped to assaulting the kid, went to prison and was released in 2009.
He was killed two weeks after his release.
DXBreakdown: As 2Pac once said, “Promised to payback Jimmy Henchman in due time.”
Henchman has maintained his innocence, although he admits to hiring men to do something to Fletcher.
“Let me be very clear, I never ever told anyone to kill Lowell Fletcher,” he told HipHopDX last year. “Did I tell them to bring him in? 100%. I wanted him in front of me so I could show him what a grown man ass-whooping was. If Yayo was man enough to even take a position that… Let’s even examine that. Yayo got some guys that are 32 or 33 years old who see’s a little kid who’s 14-years-old, and he looks 12. When you’re young like that, you’re looking a lot younger than you really are. He 14-years-old but he looked 12. He’s not a big 14. And you have four guys surround this little kid and ask him what he’s doing with a Czar [Entertainment] shirt on and then you assault him. There is no logic in that. I don’t even care what kind of problem you have with someone’s family, there is no reason for you to do that. There’s no logic in that.”
Henchman’s lawyers plan to appeal the conviction.
I feel him on that it comes to grown men putting their hands on a child they must be dealt with
So not only did him and his son snitch on Lodi and Yayo but then he had him killed when he got outta prison (which he was in due to the Rosemonds ratting). Cats like Jimmy are the slimiest.
No such thing as a kid getting beat up by grown man telling it equal to snitching especially if the kid is not in the streets that’s a coward move to touch a kid. Something else I’ve noticed all of 50 enemy ‘s that are known to be gansters are in jail, at the start of 50 huge success it seemed liked all the guys just started getting locked up. I always have heard rumors that Interscope was connected with the FB-
his gangsta ass daddy helped him/told him to tell the cops knowing full and well he was still gonna take it to the streets
I hear he gets his booty plundered in prison every day. He must be gay, no other way to explain this. Why he wants to spend 50 yrs in prison with naked men is beyond me. Unless he is a pillow biter.
He tried to get 50 homie killed again smh rest .in. prison
Henchman right on this one. Grown men beat a 14 year old kid of his. These guys were asking for death. Sure if it was the other way round they’d do the same.
buddy did his time for the assault he didn’t have to kill him.
Enjoy your life sentence bitch. Jimmy the rat
50 the biggest Rat
Jimmy the rat
So one low life is dead amd another goes to prison forever, all because a kid got slapped a few times. Now the son gets to spend the rest of his life visiting daddy in prison. Great decision making all around here.
That’s how blacks operate. Dindus.
