Churchill: Can a former rapper win in a white district?
STUDIO CITY (CBSLA) — A former South Bay high school student has been a acquitted of a killing in South Los Angeles, during which he admitted driving a car the assailants were riding in before the murder. Cameron Terrell , 18, of Palos Verdes Estates was acquitted of first-degree murder Monday after a 10-day jury deliberation. Prosecutors alleged Terrell was the getaway driver for two South L.A. men suspected of murdering Justin Holmes on October 1 of last year. He also faced two additional counts of attempted murder. Holmes’ and Terrell’s families were escorted out of the courtroom by deputies separately in order to avoid a confrontation. Terrell’s defense attorney Jovan Blackwell told reporters Monday he and his client were satisfied with the verdict, though he said his client shouldn’t have charged with anything, “certainly not murder.” However, L.A. County Deputy District Attorney Adan Montalban told jurors Terrell was a gang member who knew what the two other juveniles were planning to do when they shot and killed 21-year-old Holmes near the intersection of West 78th Street and Western Avenue, which Montalban said was rival territory. Holmes. who was with two other men at the time, reportedly told the assailants he was not a gang member. The men escaped without injury. Prosecutors told jurors Terrell knew about the planned shooting, evidenced by the fact he parked out of sight to let the teens out of the car. They also showed jurors video Terrell recorded of his friends kicking over candles left for Holmes at a makeshift memorial. People who knew Holmes said he had attended college, was working, and had dreams for his future. Still, Blackwell said his client was shocked when he heard the shots, driving a block away as a matter of survival. He added Terrell would not have been driving “his daddy’s car” if he knew there would be a shooting, though he did believe a fight would take place. Much was made of the fact that Terrell resides in the affluent community of Palos Verdes Estates. Terrell’s $5 million bond was posted with $500,000 cash in October after he admitted he was the driver that day. He began a home-study course after parents at the high school demanded he not return to the campus. Terrell appeared in the background of several music videos from local rappers and had been given the name “White Boy.” This was used as proof that Terrell was in the gang, but Blackwell said his client should not have been criticized for being “open-minded” about having friends from different backgrounds who might “walk a different path,” City News Service reported. Blackwell added Terrell now plans to go to college in Houston to study law, given his “newfound love” for jurisprudence. Terrell said he sympathized with Holmes’ family but remained defiant about his motives that day. “Rest in peace, Justin Holmes, you shouldn’t have gone that day.[…] I pray for his family every night. This has been weighing on me every single day of my life.” He added, “I don’t have to explain myself to anyone. God knows what really happened that day, and God knows what was in my head that day.” The two juveniles who had been in the car with Terrell are awaiting trial. Terrell is the son of interior designer Debra Terrell and media executive Donald Wayne Terrell, The Daily Breeze reported. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.
