I remember that day oddly because my mom was cooking and listening to K104 and the news broke and when I say my mom broke down like a family member just passed its an understatement. I was only 6 yrs old but I vividly remember that day. It actually how I got introduced to Marvin Gaye's music over the next few days because that's all I heard playing everywhere. The only 2 celebrity deaths that I ever felt a real emotional reaction like that was Prince and Kobe
After reviewing the documents associated with the murder, including the amount of drugs Gaye had in his system, the judge presiding over the case agreed to grant Marvin Gaye Sr. a plea bargain. He pleaded no contest to the charge of voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to a six-year suspended sentence and five years of probation with no jail time.
