Authorities claim Louding previously confessed to the murder, but under oath, he said he never did so, and claimed he (along with accused getaway driver Adrienne Pittman) was with Lil Boosie the night the murder allegedly happened. In a "you can't be serious" twist, lead prosecutor Dana Cummings revealed that Louding has a tattoo that allegedly implies his guilt to the murder. That tattoo in question is a picture of an AK-47 on his stomach accompanied by the words, “Yo Boosie Who's Next?” The ink was reportedly done two weeks after the murder took place.

Boosie's defense team contends that the two men were not close friends and barely knew each other, though they agree that Louding was at Boosie's home the night of the killing. The defense is also contending that voices in Louding's head told him to commit the crime.

The prosecution claims that Boosie paid Louding $2,800 to kill Terry Boyd in 2009. Boosie faces life in prison if convicted.

Incarcerated rapper Lil Boosie was indicted yesterday (July 14), as authorities are alleging the Baton Rouge emcee smuggled codeine into Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, where he is currently housed.

In May, two other men were charged along with Boosie of attempting to sneak codeine into the prison. The other men, Titus Franklin and Arthur Stewart, were indicted along with Boosie.

Bad Azz now faces, "one count of criminal conspiracy to take contraband to and from a penal institution and another count of inciting a felony.”

A conviction on the charges could lead to an additional two to four years to Boosie's prison stint. He is currently serving time for a drug charge and awaiting trial for first-degree murder.

“If I made a mistake with marijuana, why am I not eligible for rehab?  I've been on marijuana since a teenager. I need some rehab. Jail is not rehab.”

For those who haven't been updated on the Lil Boosie drama, here is a quick summary.  Lil Boosie, A/K/A Torrence Hatch was convicted on a third offense for marijuana possession.

However, like the trend of rappers who seem to be doing it, Boosie then violated his house arrest and was ordered to serve 2 years in prison.  At first Boosie said that jail time would be good for him and beneficial to himself in the long run.  However, the closer the jail date approaches, the less Boosie is feeling the beneficiary part of prison, and is now attempting a new approach at the situation.

Boosie has now said that he does not need jail, but needs rehab for his addiction to marijuana.  Boosie does not understand his sentence and claims that he is being judged on his rap alter ego and not the true Torrence Hatch:

“If I made a mistake with marijuana, why am I not eligible for rehab?” Boosie questioned. “I've been on marijuana since a teenager. I need some rehab. Jail is not rehab.”

“They're treating me on who they think I am. They judging me on Boosie Bad Azz, not Torrence Hatch,” Boosie stated to Louisiana's WAFB channel 9 before starting his sentence. “I had to do these two shows these last two days to feed my family.”

Boosie violated his house arrested to do two concerts for what he said “was to feed my kids.”  This is Boosie's 4^th (yes 4^th) prison sentence, being the 3^rd for marijuana possession.   At press time, Lil Boosie is in custody at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana, and serving his two year sentence.  Once released, he will have to complete 5 years of probation.

Ok Boosie, so you got 2 million on your neck but can't feed your kids…maybe you need this time to yourself.
