He will maybe get in jail for 5 years.I think it's just fair.Besides they found out Proof didn't start that fight.Most of you (me too) probably knew that before,but now we've got the evidence.Although it's terrible Proof had to die,now he can rest in peace.

The club owners ought to be the ones in jail. They effectively destroyed the crime scene, attempted to move the victims' bodies to make it appear as16d0 though they had been shot elsewhere, and they attempted to coerce witnesses into lying to police about what they had seen. They didn't even call the police until several hours after the shooting. Virtually all of the evidence painting Proof as a murderer is based on notoriously unreliable eyewitness testimony, mainly that of the accused, Mario Etheridge. Etheridge has a vested interest in having his version of events accepted as fact; his cousin was one of the shooting victims.
Witnesses who disputed the "official" version of events have complained of intimidation, and at least one has since been shot. There were hundreds of people in the CCC who witnessed the shooting, very few of whom have ever been interviewed by the police.
To my knowledge, there is little or no physical evidence stating one way or the other who shot Proof and Keith Bender; neither of the guns used in the shootings have been found. No ballistics evidence has been made known, either, so even if they did have both murder weapons, we might never know who was shot with what gun.
I would say that the police investigation was botched, but it doesn't even look like they did much of an investigation to begin with. I've said this before, but I would strongly advise Proof's estate hire a good private investigator to help clear his name, especially in light of the pending wrongful death lawsuit brought by Keith Bender's family. Also, if the Detroit police are incapable or unwilling of completing a thorough investigation of this crime, the case should be given to another department to solve. -
