The man accused of murdering Nipsey Hussle entered a not guilty plea in court today.

Yesterday, Eric Holder was indicted by a grand jury, on six counts today; his existing four plus another two that were just added. Holder is now facing charges of premeditated murder, 2 counts of attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, and two counts of assault with a firearm. KCAL News first broke the story about the Hussle murder suspect’s intentions to fight the case.

The news outlet reported that Holder pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, but should he be convicted, he’ll face life in prison. The trial can now proceed forward without a preliminary hearing. Allegedly news that Holder was pistol-whipping a man before Nipsey’s murder took place is what ultimately led to the indictment process.
