Proofs killer not gettin charged with murder

Murder charges will not be given to a man allegedly responsible for the recent death of D12 rapper Proof, a prosecutor ruled Tuesday (May 30).

According to Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, Mario Etheridge shot and killed Proof in an act of self-defense.

In May, authorities charged the 28-year-old with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit as well as firing two shots in the air inside a building.

Although Etheridge was not charged in the killing, he is scheduled to appear in court Friday (June 2) for a final meeting on the other two charges.

Etheridge's avoidance of the murder charge is the newest development in the aftermath following the death of Proof and Etheridges' cousin, Keith Bender, 35.

The rapper and Bender died around 4:30 a.m. April 11 following a heated argument the two had at the C.C.C. Club on 8 Mile Road.

In a timeline of the events released Tuesday, prosecutors revealed that Etheridge and another man intervened in the argument.

The timeline further stated that Bender threw the first punch after Proof asked Bender to take the argument outside, according to the Detroit Free Press, and that the rapper got a gun from another man soon after going outside.

Bender's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit in May against Proof's estate, claiming the Detroit lyricist "violently assaulted and battered [Bender], culminating with the infection of a gunshot injury that caused the death of Mr. Bender."

Correct me if i am wrong faggot, but when u in self defense you defend yourself with any means possible. I mean......what the fuck should Mario do? Die? Just to satisfy Proof groupies thinking their favorite rapper is a gangsta?

i don't know the rules in America, but if it's permitted to kill someone as self defense, then you had a bad day Proofie.

Yhea Mario probably get killed by some Proof Fan.

R.I.P. Proof & R.I.P. for all other dead humans (& animals, Poor Brett, my dog)

According to Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, Mario Etheridge shot and killed Proof in an act of self-defense.

Court says self-defence. So i am talking shit now? Why? Cuz Proof is dead instead of sumone else. Proof drew gun first, Mario defended.

I dunno Snake, if you was there instead of Mario, i guess you would just take the bullets screaming "Hey Proof you a muthafucking G man, i love your music man, you are the man, you killed me, you gangsta".

Same thing. Proof started shooting, bouncer shot him, in self-defence. If caps fly over your head towards your mother, brother, father, cousin, uncle, friend, girl you gotta protect them if you can. Still self-defence, i dont see no difference.

The point here is that Proof tried to take a life and the bouncer had to take a life in order to save a life.

Therefore, Proof goes bye bye.
