 ::::Many reliable sources, including The Times, state he was a drug dealer and thief prior to the murder. The only place I've seen it stated that he had no previous convictions is this talk page. If true, a ref should be available. It is not rare for a person to have committed many crimes but having never been convicted; the vast majority of crimes do not result in a conviction.   00:40
