The former social media star, who was known online as JinnKid, had his sentencing live-streamed on Court TV, where Judge accused Abulaban of committing a “cold-blooded killing without remorse.” He added that Abulaban’s actions were “chilling” and “very selfish.”

Per Court TV, Abulaban pleaded with the judge, stating, ”Being sent to prison forever feels like I’m being sent to hell and I don’t think that’s fair,” but was dismissed by Fraser as a “very talented actor” who was only remorseful because he “fears the consequences of his actions.”

Abulaban defended his actions as a crime of passion during “a drug-induced psychosis,” per San Diego 7. He apologized to the families of both victims, saying, “I am so incredibly sorry to each and every one of you who has been affected by this. I cannot imagine the pain I have caused your family. I saw the pain and the tears in each of your eyes and I hate that I’m the reason for it.”

Abulaban had already been estranged from his wife in October 2021 when, via a listening device he’d secretly installed on their 5-year-old daughter’s iPad, he heard the voice of another man in their San Diego apartment.
