One of the key pieces of evidence was a track titled \u201cPincha Lo,\u201d which prosecutors translated as \u201cstab him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cuban rapper Chocolate MC found guilty in murder-for-hire case\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ojkgMOvcHaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On the witness stand, Sierra Hern\u00e1ndez broke down while describing his friendship with El Taiger, which he said began in their teenage years. Speaking through a translator, he told the jury: \u201cMaybe at one point I did not express myself the right way, or the way I should have. But I\u2019m not capable of killing anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At one point during the trial, he held up a yellow notepad that read \u201cDios conmigo, \u00bfqui\u00e9n contra m\u00ed?\u201d or \u201cGod is with me, so who could be against me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the guilty verdict was read aloud, his girlfriend, Yelena, wept in the courtroom and said in Spanish: \u201cThey said he\u2019s guilty, but it\u2019s an injustice. He didn\u2019t kill anyone. He\u2019s not a killer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sierra Hern\u00e1ndez has reportedly been in custody at Metro West Detention Center since June, following a separate incident in Opa-locka where he allegedly pulled a gun on a man who asked for a photo and then fled the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The murder-for-hire conviction carries a potential sentence of up to 15 years. Sentencing will take place at a later date.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/news\/cuban-rapper-chocolate-mc-convicted-fellow-artists-death\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cuban rapper Chocolate MC was found guilty of plotting a murder-for-hire against the man accused of killing his close friend, El Taiger.
