Chinx's widow, Janelli Caceres-Pickens, says she's "heartbroken" by the news that Quincy Homere has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter in the killing of the late rapper. She reacted to the deal in a lengthy statement on Instagram on Tuesday. Homere, who is already serving an 18-year sentence in federal prison for a 2015 bank robbery, now faces an additional 23 years in state prison.
Janelli shared her perspective on the situation in a comment on Instagram. “We fought hard for a harder charge which should be murder 2 cause in the state of NY, murder 1 is only given in the cases of government officials being murdered,” she wrote. “He wouldn’t take the murder 2 which would of ended in a lengthy trial that we were obviously ready for!! We are not happy with this charge but one can not dodge whatever GOD has planned for him!”
