The trial of Eric Holder, who is charged with killing Nipsey Hussle, is now going on without Eric Holder.

That's because the 32-year old was badly beaten earlier this week and isn't able to attend the trial.

We now know the details of the beating.

Holder was attacked by two people in his holding cell at about 4 PM on Tuesday.  He was beaten unconscious and slash in the back of the head with what is believed to be a razor. He required three staples in his head.

Holder, a Rollin 60 Crip, is said to have shot Nipsey to death because Nip suggested he was a snitch.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and faces life in prison if convicted.
