Editing Big Lurch (section)

== Aftermath ==
Tynisha's mother, Carolyn Stinson, would later go on record to say that she doesn't think that Singleton did it. She seemed to thing that Tynisha's boyfriend was the one that killed her. "Her boyfriend was a gang member. I believe he's the one who set all this up. He was beatin on her. She had all her stuff packed, ready to leave, the day all this happened", Stinson said.

She believed that her daughter was murdered and had her chest torn open by her boyfriend and Singleton found her lung on the floor and began to eat it, thinking it was a piece of meat on a PCP high.

Singleton echoed these claims, saying "they got me high on purpose to take advantage of me". Stinson went on to say that the bottle of PCP had been poured down her daughter and Singleton's throats and that they hadn't smoked it willingly. The police had told her that with the amount of PCP in her system, it wouldn't have been possible for her to smoke that much.

The murder was committed with a child's scooter and a bloody handprint was found on the scooter that did not belong to Singleton or to Tynisha. There were also bloody fingerprints and footprints in the house that did not belong to either of them, tooth marks on the body that didn't match his (Singleton suggested that they were hos pitbulls), as well as a single strange shoe sitting at the back door.

The murder took place in a dope house but according to Singleton all of the guns and drugs had been moved from the house prior to the incident.

Singleton was defended by his manager who advised him to claim insanity. In California you cannot claim insanity if you willingly took the substance that led you to commit the act you are on trial for.

The rapper believes that his manager/lawyer set him up for his own personal gain. “Grimes could have gotten a mistrial. Instead, he said ‘Lurch did it.’ Grimes distanced himself from me and made a deal with the D.A. for another case he wanted to have favors on". Oddly, a little more than half a year after Big Lurch was sentenced, a California court ordered Milton Grimes to pay $1.2 million to the mother of a man fatally shot by Gardenia police — after a jury found Grimes “failed to properly litigate her civil wrongful death case” against the police department.

Singleton was unhappy with his defense and had this to say about his trial:

“Make the jury hate the defendant, and the jury will convict. The teeth marks on Tynisha’s body didn’t match mines. My lawyer Milton Grimes didn’t say that in court. They convicted me over lunch break. There wasn’t no day deliberation, there wasn’t even an hour.”

Lyrics from Singleton's track "I Did It To You" were used against him in court. On the track, Singleton raps about murder, torture, and people such as Jason Vorhees and Jeffrey Dahmer.

While Singleton was in prison, his record label released both his debut album "It's All Bad", making the album cover a picture of him holding a skull on a platter and released a documentary about him called "Drugs Made Me Do It". Both done without his permission.

Singleton later said I was signed to Milton Grimes’ label [Stess Free Records]. He was also my lawyer, so I trusted him. Grimes never said there was a pit bull in the dope house with us. Matter fact, Grimes went on the Geraldo show and played a unreleased song of mines ‘Texas Boy.’ They brought up that song like it was a blueprint for the murder, and the jury went for it. Grimes didn’t even let me have decent clothes to wear in court. Grimes had me looking like Hannibal Lecter. There’s not even no proof that I actually did the murder. We started smoking the PCP and they just kept feeding it to me, and feeding it to me. The next thing I remember I woke up in jail with a murder. My prints wasn’t on the weapon. It was a dope house … they didn’t find no dope in the dope house though. We were on Figueroa … we were heavily armed up in there. We had all kinds of guns up in there, but when the police came to the spot there wasn’t no guns up in there. The gang bangers cleaned the spot out. Grimes had me pleading insanity because I was high on PCP — and he knew you can’t use drugs to claim insanity in a California courtroom. He threw me under the bus. Grimes didn’t even get a statement from Tynisha’s mother Carolyn, and she was willing to take the stand and say I was set up.

Tynisha’s mother, Carolyn Stinson, came to visit me when I was locked up in the Twin Towers. She told me she knew I was set up, and she forgave me.
