Only two months ago, McKinley "Mac" Phipps was granted parole after spending over 20 years in the iron college for a murder he did not commit. The 43-year old former rapper spent at least 21 years in the iron college before he was granted supervised release in June 2021.
Known as the Silent Assassin, Phipps was a part of the powerhouse music label No Limit. He had released two albums under the label. He associated with Master P, Silkk The Shocker, Mia X, Snoop Dogg and Mystikal.
The court saw his music as violent and associated his music to a murder.
In 2001, a jury found Phipps guilty of manslaughter following the shooting and killing of Barron Victor, Jr., a 19-year old man who was at a Slidell nightclub. The St. Tammany Parish prosecutors accused the former entertainer of involved in the attack.
He was sentenced to 30 years to LIFE for the conviction. Phipps and his family have long argued that he was wrongfully convicted. His case attracted national attention in 2013, when five witnesses coerced them into saying that Phipps shot Victor.
While in the iron college, Phipps mentored young inmates, avoided disciplinary trouble, pursued vocational training and held a work-release job at a shipyard in Lafourche Parish. At least twice, he applied for clemency, which allowed Democratic governor John Bel Edwards to commute or shorten a bid.
In April, Bel Edwards granted clemency to Phipps which allowed him to appear in front of a board in which they approved his release.
Once released, he must followed the 9pm-6am curfew, stay away from establishments which serve alcohol, perform six hours of community service with at-risk youth and meet with his parole officer every week.
Once out, Phipps said he was grateful to the governor and those who supported him for this day.
Phipps wants to connect to his family. While in the iron college he met his wife Angelique who stood by him throughout the whole ordeal.
Now Phipps is hoping for Bel Edwards to release his longtime friend and fellow rapper Corey Miller, known as C-Murder. The brother of Master P was also convicted with murder in a Baton Rouge bar in which a 19-year old man was killed.
Miller who maintained innocence is still awaiting a potential clemency hearing.
