“Being a cheerleader' isn't enough to show that Nicholas Hoskins conspired in the murders, the court said in an unusual and unanimous opinion.
The case stemmed from a war between gangs affiliated with the Crips and the Bloods in the San Diego area. The war was declared after a member of Hoskins' Bloods-connected gang was killed in 2011.
The prosecution cited evidence of his membership in a violent gang, his access to guns and his social media posts celebrating attacks on rival gang members. However, the state's high court said there wasn't any evidence that Hoskins had actually taken part in any violent act.
