Mac (born McKinley J Phipps Jr., July 30, 1977) is a rapper from uptown New Orleans who would grow to be one of the most critically acclaimed artists on Master P’s No Limit Records recording label. On February 21, 2000, during a promotional concert/open mic event, a shooting occurred that resulted in the death of Barron C. Victor, Jr. Though several witnesses pinpointed someone else as the shooter and the shooter himself confessed, Mac was still accused of the crime. With no evidence and coherced witness statements, the prosecution was able to win a conviction against Mac that resulted in a 30 year prison sentence for Manslaughter. Mac has been falsely imprisoned since the morning of the shooting. 15 years later, his family is still fighting to prove his innocence. Mac's family is seeking to raise funds in oder to pay legal expenses and attorney's fees in hopes of getting a new trial granted for Mac.
Following an investigation conducted by David Lohr of the Huffington Post as well as the Medill Project, several witnesses have come forward to say that they were bullied into giving false testimony, including the prosecution's star witness, Yulan James. Read the full stories here and here!!!
