Rapper Kidd Creole was sentenced to 16 years in prison after his manslaughter conviction last month. He stabbed a homeless man to death in 2017.
NEW YORK CITY -- Rapper Kidd Creole has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for stabbing a homeless man to death in 2017.
"Mr. Jolly's death was devastating to his family and those who knew him," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said."Every life we lose to violent crime ripples throughout our entire city, and we will continue to ensure everyone in our borough can live their lives with the sense of safety and security they deserve. This case makes clear that if you commit violent crime, we will hold you accountable, and I thank our team for their hard work achieving justice in this matter.
"The defendant confessed to pulling out a kitchen knife and repeatedly thrusting it into the body of a stranger on the street, killing him," Assistant District Attorney Mark Dahl said during the trial."Was there anything that would prevent him from simply running away from Mr. Jolly? No." Bragg said that Glover left the scene and fled two blocks away to his place of work. There, he changed his clothing and cleaned the knife in an office sink.
