The three men who stood trial in the murder of XXXTENTACION will be spending their remaining days in jail. Judge Michael A. Usan handed down a life sentence with no parole to Trayvon Newsome and Dedrick Williams. Michael Boatwright was hit with two consecutive life sentences. They appeared smug in court but their newly surfaced mugshots suggest that reality is sinking in. Williams, Newsome, and Boatright, who blew a kiss at XXXTENTACION’s family after he was found guilty, look defeated in their latest photos, which you can check out below.
All three were found guilty of robbing and murdering XXXTENTACION. However, the fourth defendant, Robert Allen has yet to be sentenced. Allen pled guilty to second-degree murder as part of an agreement with prosecutors. He came out as the state’s star witness, who also debunked the defense’s conspiracy theories surrounding Drake’s supposed involvement. His testimony ultimately helped prosecutors secure a conviction in the case, though it’s unclear whether he’ll walk or have to serve time.
XXXTENTACION’s Killers Sentenced To Life
During the sentencing, Judge Michael A. Usan condemned them for their actions, explaining that they will only have served their sentence when they’ve “passed on.” “You turned a robbery into a murder. And on that day when you stood there and fired that weapon, you didn't just end one life. You effectively ended five lives, including your own ... You will spend the rest of your life in prison,” Judge Usan said.
X’s manager, Solomon Sobande, shared a statement on behalf of the family following the guilty verdict. “This is a loss we will never truly recover from,” he said. “We will never get to see Jahseh live to his full potential, we will never get to watch him grow old, we will never get to watch him be a father.” Jenesis Sanchez, the mother of XXXXTENTACION’s child, also spoke out, echoing a similar sentiment. “Jah was robbed of his life and Geky was robbed of his father. For this, I will never truly have complete peace but justice being served today helps the healing process.” Check out the mugshots of Boatwright, Newsome, and Williams above.
