RAP MUSIC LAW: For the first time under a new California law, a San Bernardino man's murder conviction has been overturned because a rap video used at his trial was considered prejudicial
Venable was convicted 5 years ago of being the driver in a deadly 2019 drive-by shooting in San Bernardino. He had an alibi that placed him at home. A witness who placed him at the shooting gave a long list of conflicting stories.
"There's no question," the appeals court writes, "the trial judge's admission of the rap evidence in this case did not comply with the new requirements for admission of creative expression. There's also substantial concern that admitting the evidence may have had the precise effects the Legislature sought to avoid."
