Remember the movie "ALPHA DOG"???
 
Well, that mother fucker finally got convicted.

http://cli.gs/SGSEdA

========================
After a six-week trial, a Santa Barbara, Calif. jury found Jesse James Hollywood guilty of the 2000 kidnapping and murder of 15-year-old Nicholas Markowitz.

The crime was depicted in the 2006 movie ?Alpha Dog? starring Justin Timberlake. Hollywood?s defense claimed the movie publicized the crime, thereby tainting the testimony of witnesses and creating further prejudice against Hollywood.

Prosecutors alleged that Hollywood ordered his friends to kidnap and beat up Markowitz by forcing him into a van near his home. He was driven to Santa Barbara and held for ransom, the goal being to obtain the $1,200 drug debt his older half-brother, Ben, owed to Hollywood, an admitted drug dealer.

The defense argued that Markowitz was free to leave after arriving in Santa Barbara and that a friend of Hollywood, Ryan Hoyt, decided to kill the teen to gain favor with Hollywood.

Hoyt was sentenced to death for killing Markowitz. Another teen, Graham Pressley, was sentenced as a juvenile for digging Markowitz?s grave in the Santa Barbara foothills, and is now a free man.

Pressley testified that Jesse Rugge, an accomplice in Markowitz?s kidnapping, said Hollywood offered him $2,000 to kill the teen, but he refused. Rugge was given a life sentence for aggravated kidnapping.

Hollywood fled the country after the killing and remained a fugitive until 2005 when he was captured in Brazil.

When sentenced for his convictions, Hollywood could face the death penalty.
==================

To the memory of Nick Markowitz...let him RIP

Wasn't there a former poster here who was related to or friends with the family of the victim?

Thanks for the info!

Poor kid. Was a crazy situation. Sucks because the kid really could have left at many different points in the fiasco but didn't think they were going to kill him so he didn't feel the need. Besides, the whole thing was actually kind of "fun" to him.
