Is Obuatawan Holt the same person as OBA HOLT of Bloods Gang Fame? Is he the fellow accused of shooting Ken Phillips in the head in the presence of Reggie Ferguson after Aliza Black allegedly ordered his death? Phillips survived a close shot to his head, the bullet was later found in the icy ground in front of Phillip’s home, by me. Later during trial, Holt’s defense attorney was observed rubbing herself against Holt as she embraced the accused shooter in front of the jury. Wasn’t that reason for a mistrial? I observed the embrace from the witness stand – it made me sick to my stomach.
Hi Thomas,
I have no idea if they are one in the same. I’ve tried to search, but can’t find much on it. I will keep searching!!
