In 2010, he admitted to committing a nearly two-decade-old cold case murder.
Rapper Travell “G. Dep” Coleman, who walked into a New York police precinct in 2010 and admitted to committing a nearly two-decade-old cold case murder to clear his conscience, has been granted clemency by Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Now 49, Coleman has served 13 of a 15-year-to-life sentence. With his sentence being commuted by the Democratic governor, he will now be allowed to seek parole earlier than his original 2025 date.
Coleman is one of 16 individuals granted clemency by Hochul in an announcement made Friday (Dec. 22). They include 12 pardons and four commutations. It marked the third time Hochul has granted clemency in 2023. “Through the clemency process, it is my solemn responsibility as governor to recognize the efforts individuals have made to improve their lives and show that redemption is possible,” Hochul said in a written statement.

Oh good
More Democrat thugs on the streets
“[his sentence was] commuted...he will now be allowed to seek parole earlier than his original 2025 date”
Huh??? Getting a commutation only lets you seek earlier parole? I thought that was a Get Out Of Jail Free award.
I don't think this rapper is famous, though.
She and the Louisiana governor are on a roll.
Well he served 13 out of 15 years. It’s not like he did it and then no time but yeah, the man dead is still dead.
A commutation of sentence reduces the length of an incarcerated person’s term of imprisonment. The Governor may commute a sentence in any way that she considers appropriate. For example, a commutation may reduce a sentence to allow an incarcerated person to be released immediately or on a specific date in the future. A commutation may also allow an incarcerated person to become eligible for parole at an earlier date.
His new rap....
I got me some soul
I’m now on a roll
toward a big time parole
cause Hochul took a poll
that she’s in a hole
cuz us blacks take a toll
on her political goal.
Thank you for that explanation about commutation. I always (mistakenly) understood it to mean “You are free to go.”
so wonderful hochus feels good about releasing these pukes into society, this would have never happened if the victims were in her family, puke
Not SHOOTING.
MURDER.
Isn’t it awful how brainwashers call murders “shootings”? The shooter did this. The shooter did that. Guns are evil. Guns are evil.
MURDER GETS ONLY A 15 YEAR SENTENCE???????
