G. Dep Says Prosecutors Have The Wrong Shooter



Former Bad Boy Records rapper G. Dep says the man he’s accused of killing isn’t the man he shot nearly two decades ago. Opening statements in the emcee’s case got under way on Tuesday, with G. Dep’s defense team arguing that their client didn’t kill John Henkel in October of 1993. G. Dep, whose real name is Trevell Coleman, made headlines in 2009 when he walked into a Harlem precinct and admitted to shooting a man nearly 20 years ago. Authorities eventually tied him to Henkel’s murder. According to the “New York Post,” G. Dep’s lawyers argued on Tuesday that Henkel wasn’t the man that G. Dep had shot.

During his confession, the rapper admitted to shooting a man who was blonde, clean-shaven, and wearing a green plaid jacket. G. Dep’s lawyers note that Henkel had brown hair and a beard, and was wearing a tan leather jacket when he was killed. Prosecutors insist, however, that Henkel is the only person who matches G. Dep’s confession. Testimony is scheduled to last just a few days, with G. Dep’s confession going into evidence on Wednesday. He’s facing a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years.
