It was an accident

A few days!?!? I think he should've had at least a few weeks!
Jail Sentence: A few days.
Why am I not surprised?
"A few days" what a joke.

Jim Gordon, drummer, had violent outbursts probably due to schizophrenia.
He worked with Eric Clapton, with whom he co-wrote "Layla", a Grammy winner. He also worked for The Everly Brothers, The Beach Boys, Glen Campbell, Alice Cooper, Joe Cocker.

One of the most psychopathic and sadistic people in the black metal scene, and that says something.
He killed him in self defense.
Vikernes was sentenced to 21 years in prison. I just wanna add that his victim, Euronymous, wasn't much better than his murderer.

Side note: Three weeks ago I made a list 'Top 10 Famous People that Look Like Criminals' and added him to the list but I didn't know he was an actual criminal, I thought he only looks like a criminal... I learned that he murdered someone this morning.
Mane turned himself in to police after the shooting and the charges were actually dropped due to insufficient evidence for some reason. He also claimed that the shots were in self-defense.
Geez. That is seriously something specifically terrible.
He should've gotten 39 years to life in prison.

His stage name is C-Murder? How appropriate...
Charge: Second degree murder after shooting and beating a fan to death in 2002. Jail Sentence: Life.

Also several other attempted murders.

He worked with The Beatles, Ike and Tina Turner, Leonard Cohen, Celine Dion.
He's currently serving a 19 year sentence on charges of second degree murder. He had pulled a gun on multiple people before that (mostly women). And rumours of him pointing weapons at everyone from John Lennon to the Ramones.
He is responsible for so many albums and songs like "Let it Be" and so much more. But he was also a psychopath.
He killed a gay man but it wasn't because the man was gay. Faust killed him because he was an easy target. Faust tricked him into thinking they were gonna y'know in a forest, instead the man got murdered.
He's a French musician and formerly the frontman of rock band Noir Désir. In 2003, he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter of French actress Marie Trintignant.
They got in a fight in a hotel room in Vilnius, Lithuania (where she stayed for the filming of a movie), following a dispute over a text message she received from her ex-husband. Cantat claimed he "slapped" Trintignant four times before putting her to bed, unaware that she was dying. She was repatriated to France, where a last chance surgery was practiced, but she died the next day. The postmortem suggested that Cantat had inflicted 19 blows to Trintignant's head, causing irreversible brain damage, the big rings he was wearing at the time may have amplified the blows, like brass knuckles.
Marie Trintignant was 41 at the time of her death, and she left four young sons.
Cantat was released on parole in 2007, after serving half of his 8 year sentence.
I liked their music a lot (grew up with it, was quite ...more
