Nipsey Hussle’s Alleged Killer, Eric Holder Has A New Lawyer & Claims His Client Has Mental Health Issues
Eric Holder, the man who allegedly killed Nipsey Hussle, has a new defense attorney, Aaron Jansen.
As reported on The Jasmine Brand, Jansen appeared on behalf of his client, Holder, in a Los Angeles courtroom yesterday (June 29). Jansen claims Holder has a “history” of “significant mental health issues.” He said,
“He [Holder] does have a significant mental health history. One of the things affecting him [in March 2019] was that his mother had just passed away. He was pretty despondent.”

Nipsey Hussle’s alleged killer has had his trial pushed back again after he refused to leave his cell.
Eric Holder wouldn’t leave his cell on Tuesday (May 11) causing the new judge presiding over his case to push the trial back.
Holder also has a new criminal defense attorney after his former attorney, Lowynn Young, took a judge’s seat.
“A new judge coupled with a new defense attorney can only mean that it will take a few months for them to get caught up on the case,” court officials told The Shade Room.
According to
The Shade Room, Holder refused to leave his cell to attend a hearing on Tuesday (May 11), prompting newly appointed Judge Clay Jacke to delay the case once again.
On December 1, 2020, now retired Judge Robert J. Perry set a three-month delay on the trial due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which had already suspended court proceedings for over a year.
To add to the shakeup, Holder’s previous attorney, Lowynn Young, took a position on the judge’s bench, leaving criminal defense attorney Aaron Hansen in her stead.
