A.D. (13)

Rapper from the Northside of Houston, Texas. Original 1998-99 member of Swishahouse. A.D. (13) got into a beef with Michael "5000" Watts (probably about money), left and started the Big Ballaz Records underground label with Big Pic in 2002. They got into a beef with Slim Thug and the Boss Hogg Outlawz which later led to the murder of a random individual at a club in 2005. After promoting CD's in the parking lot, a car pulled up playing a track from Slim Thug's “[m703339]”, after a confrontation, Quinton Kelegon in another car with friends drove off. A.D. (13) and his brother J-Boy followed, sped a red light and both performed a drive-by shooting where J-Boy fatally shot Quinton Kelegon in the head. Murder Conviction In 2005 A.D. (13) was found guilty of murder at trial by a jury, after he and his brother fired shots into another car during an altercation. Accounts of the evening differed greatly. The appellate court reversed A.D. (13)'s conviction because he admittedly did not fire the fatal shot, though he was found guilty of murder, while his brother, who allegedly killed the victim, was found guilty of manslaughter. The appellate court held that the jury instructions providing four alternative theories of guilt, one of which was erroneous, resulted in egregious harm because it was unclear which theory formed the basis of the jury's conviction. A.D. (13) and his younger brother, J-Boy were each charged by indictment with the murder of Quinton Kelegon. The two were tried together as co-defendants before the same jury.   The jury found A.D. (13) guilty of murder and found J-Boy guilty of manslaughter. The jury concluded under the evidence that a murder had taken place.   The only two possible perpetrators of the murder were A.D. (13) and his co-defendant (and brother), J-Boy.   However, the jury found A.D. (13) to be the more culpable of the two by finding him guilty of murder, but finding J-Boy guilty of only manslaughter.2  In addition, the jury necessarily concluded under the charge that neither defendant was acting in self-defense and that it had no reasonable doubt whether either was doing so (otherwise, it would have been bound to acquit either or both).
