Jimmy Henchman Gets Two Life Sentences For Killing 50 Cent Associate & Writes Open Letter

Jimmy Henchman is going to jail for life, and he has some things to say about it.

(AllHipHop News) A Manhattan judge offered no mercy to former hip-hop boss, Jimmy Henchman yesterday in court.

Jimmy Henchman, born James was sentenced to two more life prison sentences, for the murder Lowell "Lodi Mack" Fletcher.

Back in 2007, "Lodi Mack" and Tony Yayo roughed up Jimmy's 14-year-old son, during a deadly feud between game and G-Unit was bubbling.

The assault made headlines and even drew protests and condemnation from the likes of Al Sharpton and the National Action Network.

Both Tony Yayo and Lodi Mack were eventually convicted of the attack.

Lodi Mack, who was a Bloods gang member, went to jail, while Tony Yayo received 10 days of community service.

Prosecutors said Lodi Mack was shot and killed in the Bronx on Jimmy's order in September of 2009, just weeks after he was released from prison.

Jimmy was accused of giving two kilos of cocaine to men in his drug dealing organization, in exchange for the murder of Lodi Mack.

In 2014, Jimmy's trial for the murder resulted in a hung jury.

He was found guilty of the murders later that year, but the verdict was overturned in 2016 after an appeals court ruled the judge overseeing the trial was wrong for limiting a line of questioning to Brian McCleod.

Jimmy was ultimately convicted of Lodi Mack's murder in November of 2017.

The case finally came to a close yesterday with Jimmy's formal sentence of two more life sentences.

Rosemond is also serving a life sentence for drug trafficking and weapons possession convictions.

Authorities convicted him of running a $10-million-dollar a year drug enterprise known as the "Rosemond Organization."

Jimmy apologized to his friends and family for the situation, but he adamantly denied taking part and in a conspiracy to murder Lodi Mack.

“This is America! I want to apologize to my family and my support system," Jimmy Henchman told AllHipHop. "Most importantly, to my son; When I asked you to intern as a 14 yr old at my office it was because I wanted you to see your father working and have a strong role model.

"I wanted you to look up to brown and black people in boardrooms rather than in the streets. I was proud of the work I was doing. I never thought when I sent you on that errand, you would be surrounded and assaulted by 50 Cent and four G-Unit grown men with guns for wearing a T-shirt," Jimmy Henchman told AllHipHop.

A chapter in of the bloodiest and deadliest feuds in hip-hop history has finally come to a close.

After multiple appeals, James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond was given two life sentences for ordering the murder of Lowell Lodi Mack Fletcher.

Lodi Mack's murder in September of 2009 was the culmination of a violent feud between G-Unit and Game, who was being managed by Jimmy at the time.

Violent incidents during the feud included a shooting in front of Hot 97, the offices of Violator being shot at and Jimmy's teenaged son being beaten up.

Tony Yayo's grandmom's house was also shot up and a mansion 50 Cent owned in Dix Hills was firebombed and burnt to the ground.

Game and 50 Cent put the violent side of the feud to rest in 2005, during a summit in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem.

But on the streets, things never really calmed down between Jimmy and G-Unit, and Lodi Mack was gunned down in 2009.

Yesterday (November 8), Jimmy was formally sentenced to two life sentences for orchestrating the hit on Lodi Mack.

Here is an open letter Jimmy Henchman penned to AllHipHop.

He addresses his trial, the accusations, and his murder conviction.

"This is America! I want to apologize to my family and my support system," Jimmy Henchman told AllHipHop. "Most importantly, to my son; When I asked you to intern as a 14 yr old at my office it was because I wanted you to see your father working and have a strong role model.

I wanted you to look up to brown and black people in boardrooms rather than in the streets. I was proud of the work I was doing. I never thought when I sent you on that errand, you would be surrounded and assaulted by 50 cent and four G-Unit grown men with guns for wearing a T-shirt.

My son I want you to know today - you did nothing wrong by coming to me and letting me know what happened to you. Any child that is under age should let their parents know if they are assaulted.

Sleep with a sound conscious knowing your father is not a murderer and you are not the blame for my incarceration. This is bigger than me or you. I to am a casualty.

When a trial isn’t about fact-finding to elicit the truth and condemn the guilty then it’s not about justice. My trial was about grabbing a headline and building a prosecutors personal career.

After three trials for this murder not one of the governments embellishing witnesses said that I told them to murder Lowell Fletcher; in fact, Brian McCleod, Khalil Abdullah and Jason Williams respectively stated they never had a conversation about the murder.

But even that consistent testimony would not deter credulous prosecutors from repeatedly trying this case.

Even after being phone tapped by a mendacious witness Muhammad Stewart for 2 years there was no evidence of a plot, conspiracy or “intent” (or mens rea) to commit murder for hire as charged.

I continue to maintain my innocence.

There is a sickness in this system. My trial was covered up and drown out with unrelated shootings, hip hop gang fairy tales and non-existing “rap wars” that never existed.

For any Black man being painted into that fantasy thug culture is a lethal concoction for a conviction and the prosecutors knew this. The prevalence of this injustice has sprung up grass root organizations to tackle systematic racism in the criminal justice system. Which result in mass incarceration and wrongful convictions disproportionately affecting black and brown people.

You would think black and brown people are the only ones that commit crimes because that is all I see. But this is America.”
