Pierre Jackson, 26, accepted a plea deal for second degree murder, leading to a 34-year prison term after a jury could not reach a decision.
On March 31, 2021, Jackson broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment and shot both her and her cousin, resulting in the death of 25-year-old Dejante Kennedy.
During the trial, the defense team argued that Jackson's mental state was impaired by uncontrollable rage, seeking a verdict of voluntary manslaughter instead of murder.
Despite being convicted of attempted murder, the jury could not reach a decision on the murder charge, which prompted the acceptance of a plea deal.
