Nearly fifteen years after a murder was attributed to No Limit rapper Mac, an investigative report questions the conviction.

A new investigative report from The Lens conducted by The Medill Justice Project raises questions about the conviction of former No Limit rapper Mac for the shooting of a 19-year old man in Slidell, Louisiana in 2000. Mac, whose given name is McKinley Phipps Jr., also went by the nickname “Mac The Camouflage Assasin” and was just 24-years old at the time of the shooting and was convicted of manslaughter for the incident in 2001. Currently serving a 30-year prison sentence that will see him released in 2024, Mac “has maintained his innocence throughout,” according to The Lens.

The new report digs up and questions shady eye-witness testimonies and raises the point of a separate confession to the murder that was apparently turned away by investigators in the case. In addition to the issue of a separate confession, The Lens points out that “two people at the club that night later questioned whether the key eyewitness who testified against Phipps saw the shooting.” Even more pressing, ”the only other eyewitness to testify against Phipps backed off her claim of seeing him fire his gun. She said she had gone back to the St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office to recant her statement, but the prosecutor said during the trial he had no knowledge of her doing so. Last year, she signed an affidavit saying she had been coerced into accusing Phipps.”

Yea he was for sure 100 percent innocent, everybody know that shyt, mac wasn't that type of dude man

And the killer was his inlaw who was basically working as his security, dude turned his self in but the police didnt except it

Just a totally fukked up situation, I knew him and his whole fam man

And why he got 30 years off a manslaughter? I thought manslaughter chargers be less
