Marvin, Sr. was charged with murder, but on September 20, 1984, he was allowed to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter, a plea bargain allowed based on his age (70), the physical assault and the drugs in his son’s system.
He appeared before Judge Gordon Ringer on November 2 for sentencing.
“This is one of those terribly tragic cases in which a young life was snuffed out,” Ringer said. “But under the circumstances it seems to be agreed by everybody, including the very able and experienced investigating officers in this case, that the young man who died tragically provoked this incident, and it was all his fault.”
Marvin, Sr. was given an opportunity to speak. He said, “If I could bring him back, I would. I was afraid of him. I thought I was going to get hurt. I didn’t know what was going to happen… I’m really sorry for everything that happened.”
Ringer ordered a six-year suspended sentence and five years of probation. He banned Gay from drinking or owning a gun.
Gay, Sr. moved into the Inglewood Retirement Home. Alberta divorced him, after 49 years. She died of bone cancer three years after the slaying. Marvin, Sr. died of pneumonia in 1998. Their son Frankie died of a heart attack in 2001.
Gaye died without a will, so his estate was of no benefit to his three children.
He still owed Anna Gordy Gaye $293,000 and the government $1.6 million in back taxes. His record royalties gradually paid down those debts while Motown and CBS fought in the courts over rights to Gaye’s unreleased recordings.
Gaye wrote or recorded more than 200 songs, and 66 of them were Billboard hits. In 1987, he was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Marvin was troubled cause his dad! His siblings said his dad abused him and disliked how his mother used to pity Marvin! As a mother does and should! He’s a POS!
That was no damn self defense y’all must be crazy he did not love Marvin Gaye his father is a damn lie and y’all are crazy y’all act like y’all don’t know what the hell is going on that was First Decree Murder Y’all is losing that man INTENT To MURDER HIS SON HOW DO YOU know Ms. But one thing that cross dresser is gonna have to anger to GOD HE HATED HIM
I dont feel sorry for him. Anybody can speak words they dont mean a thing. If he wished he never done it. Thats only because its done. Done. He wanted his son. He told marvin. I can take you out and he did. Justice has not been served
Marvin was a paranoid cocaine addict but his father was much worse, a hateful abusive man Marvin should have disowned long before. This idiot judge declaring Marvin provoked his own murder is grounds to remove the judge from the bench for incompetence.
That father was a total mess.. he deserved jail time for life ! There is no excuse to kill a human being… only God does it .. the abusive father plays God !
The man got away with murder! The prosecutor said it was not self-defense, so he literally got away with murder. There was no justice in this case at all!
Kinda sick….using his son's money for top lawyers to defend him. He not only likely tried to put the fear of God in his son his whole life but his son had to fear him as well. Weak men bully and abuse children….the lack of love and empathy this man apparently had for his son leads you to believe he abhorred him, was jealous of him and in the end took his life and got of scot free. Sick!!! I sadly do have to admit I never knew this occurred until today….nearly 40 years after it happened and I'm in stunned at all the details.
The media didn't like Marvin because he raised awareness on world issues records like What's going on, Mercy Me, etc. I dislike the media so much they always lying to further their agenda. His father was jealous of him according to his mother's own words.
Really? Sorry for what happened? If my son died, and i was in anyway involved, I would hire someone to torture me to death. I wouldn't hire a lawyer, that's for sure. Unless of course, that lawyer was a sadist.
Marvin Sr used to abuse Marvin Jr throughout his childhood… Marvin Gaye Jr saw his Dad beating his mother too. Such is justice to an old twisted man who messed one of his children up b y commiting brutal punishment on a very tortured talented man who on relented his father s approval(s) all his life. Marvin had bought this house for his parents, especially for his beloved mother. Marvin had not known a loving caring environment as a child.
Self defense??? How was it self defense ??? They got into a fight because Sr was about to jump on his mother and he wasn’t with that! Sr couldn’t fight a man so he went to his room and got the gun, came back and shot his son in the chest and then he stood over him and shot him again. The gun he shot his son with was the very gun that Jr purchased for him so that he could be safe when he’s not around. That’s not self defense, that’s murder! He was jealous of his son because he was something he could never be, he hated him and that’s why he killed him. The sleazy lawyer guy really disgusts me! I could never be a lawyer, I couldn’t defend a person who I know was guilty. Talking about Marvin Gay Sr was a sick man and wouldn’t be able to stand a jail sentence. Well he went on to live fourteen more years just fine. And who were all those ppl that were so welcoming of him in the courtroom?! Smh sad story.
What a Croc! Asshole killed his own son-Please….
MARVIN SHOULDN’T HAVE GAVE HIS DADDY THAT GUN
He probably paid for his Attorney Fees with Marvin’s money he gave his family

I would Bet his own Father was probably extremely Jealous of his Own Sons Success. Shocking still he should have been in Jail til he Died.
The father did great by stopping such stupid son….one of the people who destroyed childern for his silly habits
This was a slap in the face for Marvin. His father should have walked away. His father will never have peace.
E a filha ou sei lá o que o abraçou!
Assassino safado!
That lawyer was coked out of his head.
Should have gotten life..murder 1
How a minister of God turned into a killer is mind boggling.
He should have spent the rest of his miserable life in prison
God bless you Marvin wherever you are !

I hate the media the tell a vision and the world believes whatever they say. Marvin did not deserve to die
I love you Marvin Gaye you love life so much thank you for all your beautiful music. RIP!
I mean that’s BLACK PEOPLE FAVORITE SAYIN MOTTO, “I BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS WORLD AND I’LL TAKE YOU OUT”
God is the only one that knows what happened.
This guy sounds like a real prick

Any man can make a woman pregnant …But not every man is a father.
