Accused killer of rapper Trouble sentenced to 20 years

The accused killer of rapper Trouble has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. This comes after a plea deal was accepted in court. Trouble, whose real name was Mariel Orr, was killed nearly three years ago at the age of 34. His death shocked the Atlanta music community. Jamichael Jones, the man accused of the crime, turned himself in shortly after. Jones faced several serious charges, including malice murder and aggravated assault. However, he pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter as part of the plea deal. His previous charges were dropped, and he received credit for time already served in jail. Before the deal was accepted, jury selection for the trial was scheduled. It was canceled once the plea deal was submitted to the court. Trouble's family has not yet commented on the plea deal. Fans have expressed relief that Trouble's young children will avoid the attention of a public trial.
