Jesse James Hollywood Verdict is in: Guilty of Murder, Kidnapping
The Jesse James Hollywood verdict is in: he has been found guilty of murder and kidnapping over the death of teenager Nicholas Markowitz.
This story is familiar to the public, because it is the plot of the 2006 film ‘Alpha Dog’ staring Emile Hirsch and Justin Timberlake.
But Jesse’s story is not one of the Hollywood movies. He was a ringleader of a group of LA drug users, who tried to collect a $1,200 debt from Ben Markowitz so they kidnapped his younger stepbrother Nicholas. After a few days of holding him, Hollywood decided he didn’t want to face kidnapping charges so he wanted Nicholas to never be found again. The body of Nicholas Markowitz was found in a park, he was shot and buried in a shallow grave.
Jesse James Hollywood was not at the scene of the murder but he has been found guilty of ordering the kill.
He could receive the death penalty.
