   NEW YORK — Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five’s Kidd Creole   
   received a 16-year prison sentence Wednesday for fatally   
   stabbing a homeless ex-con who approached him at random on a   
   midtown Manhattan sidewalk.   
      
   A Manhattan Supreme Court jury in April found the Bronx-born   
   artist, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover, guilty of   
   manslaughter for John Jolly’s Aug. 1, 2017, killing. Glover was   
   acquitted of second-degree murder.   
      
   Glover, 62, waited at Rikers Island almost five years to go to   
   trial, and rejected a deal from prosecutors in March to plead to   
   manslaughter in exchange for a 10-year sentence.   
      
   Glover and Jolly encountered one another on East 44th Street and   
   Third Avenue as Glover made his way to an overnight shift at a   
   midtown print shop.   
      
   Glover stabbed Jolly, 55, once in the chest with a steak knife   
   hidden up his sleeve within moments of the homeless man asking   
   him, “What’s up?” jurors heard at the trial.   
      
   Tourists discovered Jolly, unconscious, bleeding on the street.   
   Glover continued to his job, changed his clothes, and disposed   
   of the knife in a sewer.   
      
   Glover maintained he acted in self-defense. His lawyer Scottie   
   Celestin, who defended the case pro bono, argued that Glover’s   
   fear of an inquisitive stranger approaching him late at night   
   was reasonable and that a white woman in his same position would   
   have been sympathized with and not prosecuted.   
      
   Celestin also tried to convince jurors of the theory that the   
   stab wound didn’t kill Jolly but rather a dose of potent   
   benzodiazepine given to him by medics at Bellevue. The defense’s   
   medical expert testified that it could prove lethal to someone   
   who has been drinking, which Jolly had been.   
      
   Jolly’s friends in 2017 described him to the New York Daily News   
   as a peaceful man who suffered from mental health problems.   
      
   “Mr. Jolly’s death was devastating to his family and those who   
   knew him,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.   
      
   “Every life we lose to violent crime ripples throughout our   
   entire city, and we will continue to ensure everyone in our   
   borough can live their lives with the sense of safety and   
   security they deserve.”   
      
   Celestin did not immediately respond to a request for comment on   
   Wednesday’s sentencing.
