Aspiring Pittsburg Rapper Gets 50 Years For First-Degree Murder
POSTED: 11:27 pm PST January 17, 2007
PITTSBURG -- An aspiring rapper was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison for fatally shooting his music promoter after she expressed doubt about his talent, prosecutors said.
Juston Michael Potts, 21, was sentenced Friday in Contra Costa County Superior Court, following his Dec. 15 conviction of first-degree murder.
Potts, who waived a jury trial, had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but Judge Mary Ann O'Malley concluded that he was sane when he shot and killed Shani Renee Holloway on June 6, 2004.
Police said Potts was resentful when Holloway, who had agreed to promote Potts' fledgling music career, became negative about his prospects.
On the day of murder, Holloway, 31, and her boyfriend gave Potts a ride to a Pittsburg home, where he got out of the car, went over to a sport utility vehicle that had pulled up nearby, then returned with a handgun and shot the woman twice, police said.
