Hosea Thomas, the man convicted of killing T.I.'s best friend Philant Johnson in Cincinnati last year, was sentenced to 66 years in prison. Hosea and his brother Pardon [who testified against him in court] got into an altercation with T.I.'s entourage at a concert after-party after being denied entrance to VIP. The brothers later followed T.I.'s crew and shot up their van in a high speed chase on the freeway, fatally wounding Philant. When T.I. testified at the trial he said he felt especially bad because he knew the bullet had been intended for him.
