Rufus Watson Pleads No Contest

A Providence case from three years ago just closed: 40-year-old Rufus Watson pleaded no contest to charges tied to the fatal shooting of his 35-year-old landlord, Jennie Jensen, during a heated eviction attempt in January 2023.

He’s now facing five years in prison plus ten years probation. His lawyer is still weighing next steps. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
