Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, known in the 1960s as H. Rap Brown, was found guilty March 9 of murdering Sheriff’s Deputy Ricky Kinchen. A Fulton County, Georgia jury convicted Al-Amin of 13 charges against him in connection with a shootout with two deputies across the street from his mosque in Atlanta two years ago. He could face the death penalty.
