By WeHo News Staff, West Hollywood, California (February 4, 2010) A jury found West Hollywood resident David Jassy, a rapper and record producer from Sweden, guilty Monday of second-degree murder in the death of John Osnes, a 55-year-old jazz pianist, in Hollywood. Mr. Jassy stood accused of attacking Mr. Osnes, a popular local pianist and pedestrian rights activist, punching him in the head, kicking him in the face and then driving over his mortally wounded body. Commentators at the time likened the affair to an incident straight from the previous year's Oscar winner, "Crash," a film about racial tensions and random life changing happenstances.
